Title: another good Micus album
Review: For this project Micus created a set of 50 "tuned" flowerpots that could be played with the hands or mallets. Over this rather subdued but tinkling backdrop he floats the sounds of his usual assemblage of flutes, zithers, and hammered dulcimers. The effect is vaguely gamelan-like, but no one who knows Micus' music could confuse the results with music by anyone else. There are five such soundscapes on the cd; he names them only as Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5--some indication of the rather greater level of detachment involved here. I've always liked this cd, and play it as often now as I ever did.
Is the review positive or negative?
