What Everyone Is Missing.......2006-02-02

Nowadays, if a station plays Four Preps music, it might be "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)", "Big Man", or even "Down By the Station." The two oldies stations in my area, in fact, DO play them. One, now off the air, even used to play "More Money For You And Me". Despite a boast of "The largest record collection in Florida", a request for "More Money" is met by, "We don't have it." That is why anyone who loves The Four Preps and 4-part harmony MUST get this CD.
"More Money" is joined by two more medleys, "The Big Draft" and "great Songs". All three feature nearly dead-on impressions of top vocal groups of the 50s and 60s, with spoof versions of those groups' hits. The Preps first hit, "Dreamy Eyes", is also included. Two more songs pay a kind of tribute to the Beatles and The Four Seasons. "A Letter To The Beatles" tweaks the Liverpool lads (who were supposedly upset over it) and the sometimes insane Beatlemania of the 60s. And "Let's Call It A Day, Girl" is a tribute to Frankie Valli's group in a way that anyone who has heard Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" would recognize.
Overall, three of the songs on the CD have goten decent airplay in recent years, but all fourteen deserve much better treatment. Until some radio station gets wise, all I can say is definitely get this CD, because "Absolutely the Best" is not just a title, it is "Absolutely" the truth. Buying the CD will be the only way to enjoy these Four Preps gems.

242 - 245.......2005-08-28

the term GTM (Ghost Trance Music) is highly misleading, as these recordings are not ghostly or trance like. they are however, fine examples of Braxton's stately and bold form of composing and playing. utilizing alto, soprano, baritone, piano, melodica, and many more...these songs somehow spring to life with it's snakelike structure and interweaving melody lines that weave spirals in your mind. i have given this cd many many listens and each time i am impressed with a new experience each time. that's something special.

Braxton's triumphant return to form (and to Delmark!).......2004-05-15

Multi-reedist Anthony Braxton has been responsible for some of the most challenging improvised music of the past 35 years. Although Four Compositions 2000 is representative of what Braxton has been producing for the past ten years, it also shows signs of a departure by incorporating stylistic innovations he mastered years ago. Everything old is new again.

Every 10 years or so, Braxton's music makes a slight stylistic change. After his wildly experimental debut in the late 1960s, his writing nestled into a sort of radical-traditionalism in the mid-1970s. In the '80s, Braxton's style developed into an intricate system of collage based on partially fragmented compositions unified by rhythmic pulse tracks. While still having the overall feel of jazz, the result was far more multi-layered and complex than the norm. During the '90s, Braxton entered yet another phase and dubbed the minimalist-inspired work Ghost Trance Music (GTM). Designed to last for hours (and theoretically days), GTM utilizes lengthy repeated pulse sections interjected with brief solos. The result often sounds less like traditional jazz and more like modern minimalist classical music.

Although still part of the Ghost Trance series, the music on Four Compositions 2000 show signs of the Braxton of days past. Numerous sections of the record revisit the irregular march rhythms of his '70s quartet music, though in a more refined manner. The diversity of sound production includes sputtering contra-bass saxophones, trilling flutes, melodica, tuned wood blocks and chimes all used to intriguing effect as a complement to the more traditional line-up of alto sax, piano, upright bass and trap set.

Braxton's GTM ensembles tend to be relatively large. With this quartet the pulse sections are broken up and the compositions feature more extended improvisation. Stop-start rhythms and flurries of notes contrast with sparse, unaccompanied solo sections. Rarely do all four musicians play at the same time. Each player gets a healthy amount of solo space and all shine when called upon.

While a good deal of the previous Ghost Trance Music is a bit repetitive, Four Compositions 2000 fortunately is quite different. Featuring shorter pieces with more sonic variety, space and improvisation than other recent endeavors, the record finds Braxton in what one could cautiously call an accessible mode. The record certainly makes an excellent entry point for those new to his oeuvre.

The Road to Glory is a re-release of the the same songs that make up the CD The Bells Are Tolling. It has the same songs, althoough in a different order. Played side-by-side, there is no question they are from the same source.

The Road to Glory's advantage?? - It is cheaper

Customer Reviews:

Sound is Almost Unintelligible In this Disrespectful Reissue.......1998-09-16

Once again, the Grammophono 'engineers' (using the word loosely) take decent, clear original archival recordings, add grotesque phase- shifts, echo, filtering, and phony stereo processing, and pass them off as "digital refurbishings" of historic material.

The old early-seventies Olympic/ Everest two-LP set of the wonderful April 13, 1940 all-Debussy NBC/ Toscanini concert provides most of the performances herein. While the Olympic transfer seemed to be nearly identical to the WRVR rebroadcasts of the late sixties (albeit with a little added audio expansion during the softer passages) the new Grammophono sounds as though the sound has travelled to the Crab Nebula and back by slow ship, suffering a degradation in clarity with each parsec. Some passages are so badly distorted and garbled by over- filtering that it is impossible to tell what instruments are playing! Even back in 1940, a live network radio listener with a 4-tube set could get better quality and accuracy of musical timbre than in this shoddy, disrespectful, and incompetent production.

The other major source is the New York Philharmonic broadcast of Debussy of April, 1936, issued formerly by Music & Arts in its 4-CD set "Arturo Toscanini Conducts the Music of France" (CD 898). Even in that better production, there is use of fake stereo and added ambience which confuses and jumbles the clarity of the monaural soundstage. But in this Grammophono rendition, even MORE processing is piled upon an originally noisy, distorted, and crude-sounding amateur aircheck recording. No one can listen for pleasure to this release.
