Title: Music to throw an orgy by...?
Product review: If you're planning an orgy as part of your social calendar this summer, this is the CD for you! As a brave attempt to reproduce the music of Rome, it deserves substantial praise. However, if it is an accurate imitation, I pity the ancient Romans. The music of Synaulia's Disk 1 is rarely melodic and seems more post-modern than ancient. I wonder whether the repetitiveness of the songs is an unavoidable result of the limited tonality of the replicated instruments or of the composer's failure to achieve proficiency with them before starting. The songs are often accompanied by maenadic shrieking, music most apropos for a fraternity toga party. Evoe, guys!
