With Understanding Comes Appreciation The composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein said of one passage, "That page is sixty years old, but it's never been topped for sophisticated handling of primitive rhythms...", and of the work as a whole, "...it's also got the best dissonances anyone ever thought up, and the best asymmetries and polytonalities and polyrhythms and whatever else you care to name." Oks, first things first specially for the sake of new comers. The Rite of Spr

With Understanding Comes Appreciation What is sound? Think about all the different possible sounds heard throughout the day. Cars passing by, the chattering of people talking, keys jingling in your pocket, music playing in the grocery store, the microwave humming, the list goes on and on. Whether we are aware of them or not, we are constantly hearing sounds happening all around us. Now, let’s change gears for just a moment as I pose another question. What is time? Time is an

With Understanding Comes Appreciation Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what a journey! It's the sound of a man's spiritual journey condensed into a half-hour of free jazz majesty, and it makes me feel a near-religious presence every time I hear it. And this is coming from a guy whose relationship with spiritual matters mean very little if anything. Everything about it is perfect.

The reason for my letter at this time is that I am visiting relatives in Baltimore and as long as I am on the East Coast I hope I can get to see you. It might seem strange but ever since I

With understanding comes appreciation First things first since no many people are familiarized with the Dots. The Legendary Pink Dots are an influential, staggeringly prolific group led by enigmatic frontman Edward Ka-Spel. Emerging from the early-'80s post-punk underground and sometimes categorized as industrial due to associations with bands like Skinny Puppy, the group's music is nearly impossible to pin down, drawing from Krautrock, ambient, folk, synth pop, and numerous

With Understanding Comes Appreciation While it is focused on rarefied, intellectualized, long-form composition in an era when abstraction and complexity really meant something in the rock milieu, these diverse pieces have a direct emotional power, linger and replay themselves in the mind long after their most recent hearing. This is a sophisticated and beautifully crafted recording. This is probably one of the most, if not the most, accessible and digestible Rock-in-Oppositio
