3 out of 5 stars Not all is lost.......2003-09-15

Despite of the onslaught of instrumental bands, Threnody Ensemble tends to wade more in classical waters than the "post-rock" crowd. Truth is, Threnody Ensemble has produced an avant-garde album that results in half of the compositions being tedious and dissonant experimentations, while the other half being well-thought, dynamic, and beautifully executed "formal" pieces. The real problem is that there seems to be a lack of consistency between the avant-garde and the traditional, resulting in two extreme, contradictory facets of the group. Still, not all is lost...

This CD makes me think of the cracks in pavement, the spaces between buildings, and the unnoticed pauses before you eat bananas in the morning. It is the soundtrack to nothing, however, nothing may be the most important thing of all. Recommended.

What do you get when you add 3 parts repetition and 1 part mind-bogglingly terrible random assortments of notes and sounds? You guessed it; the Threnody Ensemble! The Threnody Ensemble is the kind of group that got together one day and said, "You know what?" "Let's make something new, experimental, and totally college radio!" The Threnody Ensemble's idea of originality is creating music that abandons all semblances of listen-ability. It has been said that good music is that which can inspire a strong emotional response: by this definition, the Threnody Ensemble creates the best music in the world, for nothing has made me angrier than being subjected to their obnoxious aural defecate! The Threnody Ensemble set out to be something new, but have fallen in with the noisomeness of all the pretentious `art-bands' that came before them.
Note: A threnody requires singing, a feature void from this recording.
