Negative Positive
Title: Touching ambient sketches about dying.
Review: Perhaps the only fully conceptualistic album of Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner). One by one, the tracks gently build up a portrait of a deteriorating yet happy artist with a beatific view of himself, his craft, and little concern for public or reality. Could be as much about Scanner himself as about Jarman. Beatless, hookless, brilliantly sparse pieces, mostly straight or treated piano plus noise and Jarman's voice samples. And oh yes, the quicktime - format video clip adds a lot.
Is the review positive or negative?
