Free Music Review: Practical Information
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording has already been reviewed with regard to quality, so I thought I'd skip what we all know (that this music is fantastic) and give a few more practical bits of info.
First of all, if you have the DVD of The Thin Red Line, the chants that come in the extras are all present on this disc. If that's all you want and you can put up with having to use your DVD player to listen, then there's no real reason to buy this album. However, the album contains twice as much material, all of it just as good. Don't think that if you buy this album you won't be getting your money's worth, even if you already have the DVD.
Secondly, the sound quality of the recording is for the most part excellent, especially when one considers that the whole album was recorded "on location" so to speak. That said, there are a few moments where the high end seems to get lost somewhere, and the occasional cough or ambient noise. If this bothers you, then be warned. It really shouldn't.
Thirdly, in response to another review, the language they are speaking (although sometimes they speak English and the accent makes it hard to tell) is Tok Pisin, or Melanesian Pigin. I won't bore you with the details, but the short version is that Tok Pisin is actually a full-fledged language, not just a pigin, dialects of which are spoken throughout the area. A minor bit of trivia: "Jisas, masta mi save" doesn't have anything to do with being saved; "save" (pronounced "sah-vay") means "to know," from whence comes "savvy" as in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Lastly, some reviews might give one the impression that this album has an overwhelming religious presence, or that it is "Christian," or some such. I won't lie; I would say 75% of the songs have the word Jesus or God somewhere in them. All I can tell you is to find some way to listen to some of them and see for yourself whether or not one has to be religious in order to appreciate the music. I would say no, others might disagree.
