ok I am back and may I just say before
we go any further that any Lisa Gerrard fans in attendance are right
to mad about the term "new age" being applied here. what a foul
term! how horrible! "new age," next thing you'll be saying that hippies
are gonna love this stuff well ahem yes err um actually they
probably would or that it's "relaxing" harr,
well, arrr, it is quite the tonic for the nerves, I gotta say or
that it's "cinematic" when
Lisa Gerrard has a long history of actually doing soundtrack work
but what to do, what to do? Immortal Memory, which after
all is the name of the new Lisa Gerrard, is so much more beautiful
than anything I heard last year, and probably the year before: beautiful
in a grand way, beautiful in a marvellously ambitious way.
her collaborator is on Patrick Cassidy, whom I gather is also a soundtracks
guy, I don't know and couldn't care because I have not been to see
a movie since God knows when & I don't pay attention to the soundtracks
of the movies I see on television |
