Free Music Notes for Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead
Free Music Review: AWESOME -- Sounds more like gamelan than a lullabye....
Hit: 5 Stars
When I stumbled across this on iTunes I chuckled. I LOATHE crappily-produced rehashings of popular (or classical, for that matter) music. But when I gave this CD a listen, I was absolutely astonished by how GOOD it is from the perspective of a composer, a percussionist, AND a Radiohead fan.
Now, first let me say I listened to the other albums by this group, and they are nowhere NEAR as good as this. In fact, they're pretty bad in my opinion. But the arrangements on this record are absolutely brilliant from the way they are arranged to the ways they are performed and produced. I was expecting to hear a MIDI-rendered music box-sounding thing tinkering away, but was amazed to hear a full percussion ensemble using marimbas, vibraphones, glockenspiels, gongs and cymbals, claves and shakers, as well as few well-placed guitars, rhodes, and piano. But the primary thing you will hear in these recordings is a masterfully-orchestrated full percussion ensemble.
The website gives no information whatsoever as to how many people are in this group and exactly what instruments they are using, but I have been in a college percussion ensemble for going on 6 years now, and have written several percussion ensemble original works as well as arrangements, and let me say that this is DAMN WELL DONE. My first thought listening to this was that it sounds more like a Balinese gamelan ensemble than a lullaby. Indeed, I think they are really selling themselves short with the marketing ploy of this being "lullaby" music. This album is chock-full of arrangements I would love to listen to and to perform... hell, I wish they'd release the sheet music so I could bring it to our university percussion ensemble!
In particular, "2+2=5" and "Everything In It's Right Place" are extremely well done. Both in their own idiom as percussion music and in their surprisingly accurate adherence to Radiohead's original music, these are brilliantly arranged pieces.
Well worth a listen. Don't be fooled by the way this is marketed; it is masterfully done.
