Free Music Notes for Ghost Opera
Free Music Review: Cats yowling
Hit: 1 Stars
I don't care for this particular style of japanese music. It reminds me of something I saw called kabuki, a sort of opera. I would not have bought it knowing what I know now.Free Music Review: Not good
Hit: 2 Stars
This piece is not good. It is an "opera", with a one page (cd insert sized page) libretto. The "music" has no rhythm, beat, or theme. It's noise made by common household objects, with screaming in the background. Unrelated stringed instruments occasionally play strident phrases. It does have one good quality. It is short-around 40 minutes. If you want modern music buy Adams or Ligeti instead.Free Music Review: the rhythm alone is worth the buy
Hit: 4 Stars
This is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable pieces I've heard in a long while. It gives such a nice message, and a possitive message. Communication. everything from shouting to odd bowings blend wonderfully. Tan Dun has used more progressive techniques tastefully, and not with a blantant sense of "this is new and weird, I'll use it", which is what one will get with a lot of modern music. It has quite a few lovely depths to it; truly 4 dimentional music. I recommend having some friends over, having a few mixed drinks, have a listen, and openly discuss what you find it to be about. You shouldn't be suprised to hear anything from Shakespeare, Bach, to violence, free-association, Frued, anti-establishment, etc., etc. Over all, I only gave it 4 stars because I'd love to hear it live, which I'm sure would be an experiance in itself.
Free Music Review: how amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
Seriously folks, if you want something a little different than the drivle they play on the radio nowadays, then THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU. You have to listen to this with a very open mind. There's some yelling on this CD, but it's atmospheric, and it works well.
Don't get this CD if you think it's going to be full of pop singers belting out "songs" they didn't even write. This is Dan Tun at his best.
Amazing. Haunting. Buy it!
Free Music Review: The Game loves this CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I must confess I bought this CD only because I like the word "ghost". I like the word "ghost" even better when you put a .htm after it, if you know what I mean. Aren't the Kronos Quartet simply amazing? They did some amazingly haunting work on the "Requiem for a Dream" soundtrack. This amazing piece of music brings a brand new feeling to the opera, which has seen little innovation of recently. Did I mention it is amazing? As many have said here, you must really sit down and listen, even give yourself over to the piece, in order to fully comprehend the depth and beauty that is involved. I fully recommend this CD to all who are not afraid of truly original music that will open up your mind and engage your senses.
