Title: Painful!!
Product review: Operatica is a great example of how to mess things up when one simply plasters "beats" - mindless, pedestrian electronica under a different genre. In this case opera. The entire listening expereince is anti-cathartic, to say the least - reminiscent of the auto rickshaws plying the Bombay streets pumping out C-grade hi-treble bollywood `remixes'. Painful!! On the other hand, few years back on a similar foundation - electronica based classical projectRhythmic Fission: Digital Revisions of Classic Trax. That had some cutting edge DJs and producers of the progressive electronica camp, so they not only had a thorough understanding (and respect for the music), they catered to subtle nuances that allowed for Bartok, Bach or Stravinsky to be breathed a new life into without them turning in their graves.....maybe that's why it was aptly titled "fission"....as opposed to hapless `fusion'.
