ANN MILLIKAN (&THE BULGARIAN NATIONAL RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA) -BALLAD NOCTURNE. as reviewed by mr. esq. ann millikan is a composer. she weaves many styles, but to the untrained ear -such as mine- it's contemporary classical, if tag is needed. millikan uses tonal&atonal modal languages. there's jazz (which she originally studied/composed.) and braziliaan&west african threads. i wish i could describe this better, but i know nothing about this kind of music. which is so refreshing. because it's new to me. so read the liner notes, ya' lil' snoots. (lovely stories in the liner notes. i like stories.) note: millikan attended san jose state!=local=fuck yeah! note II: i would like to thank bug for giving this to me for review, as i was whining about derivative rock musicc i've been reviewing. i liked it very much. thank you. FCC CLEAN. SUGGESTED TRACKS: 1, 3, 4, 5. *1.opens violins cutting glass. piano ominoussad. there's hope coming in. moody all the same. the waves keep waving. it's very cinematic. noir love story. fall asleep... (note; emanuele arciuli, piano.) 2. fantasy epic for children. through the looking glass, down the rabbit hole and all that. *3. burny. great drones&shimmers so short. sounds like machine made sound at half point -but it's not! =best track. *4. OH, IT'S BADASS TIME! it gets whirly. then it gets real calm. aww!: now i wanna sleep. (2nd half is beaut! =those violins.) *5. FUCK #3 =THIS IS THE BEST TRACK! IT ROCKS! (no, really!) are those buffaloes talking? the instruments sound like animals! oh my God=the title tells the truth! middle sounds: oncoming headlights -look out, buffalo! brutal digestion. watery. candles light themselves. bugles at the dawn. of an execution. or an annunciation. rattlesnake right there. beware. remindinng me of some 70's tv/movie score, but i can't quite pin it. whatever. it's great (and happy!) brazilian beat. now i'm thinking of mary tyler moore. am i in minneapolis now? nope. brazil-cum-italian western. gettin the whirlies again. and the end? it's all good. it's all good. goodnight now. | ||
