Free Music Notes for Blast: An Explosive Musical Celebration Album
Free Music Review: Surprisingly melodramatic for a CD entitled "Blast"
Hit: 2 Stars
After seeing the end of the PBS documentary, I expected a lot more "Blast" in this CD, especially a lot more BRASS. Instead almost every song is slow to develop and somewhat kitchy in its mix of instruments... from minor percussion instruments to obviously re-mixed (ie; quieted) brass and sound effects. It was obviously recorded in a studio, detracting from its energy and power... the live show seemed a lot better. Perhaps the reason is this CD isn't meant to be listened to, but SEEN. Afterall, it is classified as a soundtrack. I give it a 2... not because of the musicians, but because of underwhelming production.
