THE IRIDIUM CONTROVERSY
BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC
2003 , USA - EURO 15.50
Label: CUNEIFORM
ALBUM REVIEW
Boston’s Birdsongs of the Mesozoic creates innovative instrumental music that fuses rock, classical, minimalism, punk, garage/pop, and jazz. Two keyboardists (one on grand piano and one on synthesizer), guitar, saxophone and electronic/computer percussion produce a unique sound that fuses the youthful energy and anarchism of rock with the structure (and process) of classical music. The result is simultaneously abstract and accessible, music without vocals with broad popular appeal. The Iridium Controversy is a sophisticated work, a soundtrack to a primordial epic that harkens to the future as well as the past.The cover art for The Iridium Controversy is by British artist and designer Roger Dean.
