Great concept, great CD!
author: NumteeThis CD mixes music with interviews and other sexually related material. I loved the serious tone and beautiful sounds created. Sometimes I wasn't sure if I was listening to music, a performance art piece or what - which I liked - it seems to defy categorization at times. There is some pretty disturbing stuff here as the previous review said but this adds to the complexity of the CD. Really intense.
Intense, unpredictable, beautiful, disturbing
author: AnneStunning, at times shocking. Unpredictable music and intense content. Smart use of noise and digital sound. Nice mixture of beautiful and disturbing. Very interesting CD and long (almost 80 minutes). Strongly recommended.
