"...This record is utterly delightful in everyway, and I'm only scraping the surface."
About the Artist
Abney Park began in nebulous, seedy bars, etching a following with dark electronica reminiscent of Depeche Mode and Billy Idol. Though gradual success was apparent, the long arm of the internet truly catapulted the exposure of Abney Park to starved souls around the world.
As the years have progressed, Abney Parks music has transformed into an amalgam of Dead Can Dance, Danny Elfman and Rammstein, truly innovating themselves and conveying a musical maturity apparent from release to release. This has proven to be well received by fans and reviewers alike, solidifying a fan base while drawing more people into the fold everyday.
Abney Park has produced a number of CDs including Return to the Fire, Cemetery Number 1, From Dreams and Angels and Twisted and Broken; the latter of which has been called a tribute CD by the artists who contributed to it (consisting of some of the biggest names in the underground music scene). In support of these and other releases, Abney Park has played live all over the North American Continent from Vancouver, Canada to Las Vegas Nevada and well over a dozen stops in between.
And thats not all.
Abney Park has also appeared on sound tracks for movies and video games as well as a variety of compilation CDs including Cleopatra Records Unquiet Grave 3.
So if youre interested in exploring a darker side of human nature, if youre yearning for something to capture the spirit and raise the pulse, then prepare to indulge your next obsession.
From Dreams Or Angels (ex),Abney Park,Abney Park,Electronic,The delivery of Robert Brown tends to be conspiratorial. He sings of things suggestively with visuals stirring. Of escapes and pursuits, or perils and integrity, like Agent Mulder on Prozac..

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06
Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.
Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."
Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.
Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09
Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26
There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.
