Title: Aaaaaaggghhh
Product review: First of all, although the packaging doesn't make it clear, this album was recorded in concert, in less-than-ideal circumstances. Second, the compositions are rather shapeless, and tend to meander on..and on. Third, the music is unrelievedly ugly. I bought this (at import price) because I was excited at the prospect of hearing two of my favorite musicians (Reijseger's solo disc, COLLA PARTE, is wonderful, and Sclavis' ECM discs are among the best that label has to offer) in duet; don't make the same mistake. ... Now, if only someone would get these two back together, in a studio, with some rehearsal time and a few decent compositions...
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
