Free Music Notes for Sawdust (Dig)Free Music Review: Richly Textured New Work - Excellent! Hit: 5 Stars
Pentaphobe has taken his music to a much higher level with this latest CD.
Sawdust is an evocative work which displays greater musical sophistication than the earlier CD - 'Saiyr, a Tribal Metamorphosis'.
The liner notes cite the influence of circus and sideshow and although this is evident Pentaphobe returns the favour by creating tracks that beg to be performed to.
There is a multi-textured emotive quality to many of the tracks and plenty of musical surprises.
Stand out tracks include - Kitten Pig, Dawn in the City, Victim to the Charms of Radio and Contemptuous Sniff.
Having said that, the CD is a musical journey and all of the tracks add up to a very pleasing whole.
Looking forward to the next CD by this uniquely creative musician.
This is a totally objective review by Pentaphobe's adoring mumsy ;-)
Free Music Review: DARK and DANCEABLE Hit: 5 Stars
I agree with the other reviewer that Sawdust is better than the Tribal album although I bought both. I found that when I listened online I couldn't really appreciate this artist. When I received the albums today and did my dance lesson with them, things came out of my body that were a surprise to me. I loved the multilayered textures. I felt like a puppet one minute, a mechanical man another.. just wonderful for movement classes.. I have fell in love with this artist and look forward to more.
Free Music Review: which track to use? Hit: 5 Stars
An absolutely fantastic cd to dance to. Only problem is which track to choose from. I am sure I will be able to use at least 5 tracks to do a gothic tribal fusion dance, and that is only to begin with.
I would recommend that you listen to this one over and over... you will get addicted.
Free Music Review: Industrial Tribal Hit: 4 Stars
The merch guy at BellyDance Superstars steered us away from this album ("that one is more ... hard, this other one is more popular") but if you enjoyed the industrial/goth tribal pieces in the current show, this IS the right album to get. Tribal Derivations by Beats Antique and Urban Dervish by Oojami are both good albums too (recommended!), but are not the same style.
Free Music Review: Eh... Hit: 3 Stars
Not what I was expecting, though this is the first cd I bought from this band. Very circusy, but highly reccomended if you're into that kind of music.
