Title: Wine inspired verses set to Partch.
Review: Ever read Li Po, one of the greatest Taoist poet ever. Li Po spent much of his life as a hermit wandering around the mountains and writing poetry: sounds like a pre-Jahpy Ryder. Anyway, Harry Partch has put his writings to music, utilizing original instruments such as the cloudchamber bowl and the prepared viola and guitar. I first heard these recordings on a scratchy Partch/John Cage LP sampler and constantly listened to the Partch side (I'm not a big Cage fan). Now that these recordings are finally available in digital format, they sound even better. Go out and buy the Cd, then read Li Po.
Is the review positive or negative?
