Free Music Notes for Myth Of Red, The
Free Music Review: Postmodern Opera
Hit: 3 Stars
Remember that weirdly wonderful techno-aria sung by the character Plavalaguna in "The Fifth Element"? Well, here's an entire CD of opera/tek grooves like that one. But unlike the blue diva in "Element," Sasha Lazard doesn't need to synthetically enhance her soaring soprano pipes. Here she mixes her classical background with Electronica, overdubs, plus some funky World beats, to a surprisingly successful end. Such hybrid music isn't for everyone: if you don't believe in messing with sainted Old Masters (Rachmaninoff and Rimsky-Korsakov; Ave Maria), steer clear. But if you're open to some audio fun that marries old and new (Princess Mononoke's Theme Song, DJ Spooky), go for it. These tracks are light clean fun guaranteed to evoke smiles at your next cocktail party.Free Music Review: I wanted to like it, but couldn't
Hit: 2 Stars
Oh boy, I don't often write reviews except for music I think is exceptional, but with all the superlatives being thrown around regarding "The Myth of Red," I thought I'd share my point of view: Overblown, in that peculiar "Euro Tech" sort of way. I love a good voice (and she's got one), and I like violin and cello with electronica, but this doesn't hold up. I sold it after not copying it!Along the same vein I highly recommend "Close to Silece" by Thomas Otten if you like an operatic/electronica recording which verges on the sublime. Peace.
