Adagio - 27:55 Bass – Ernest Brooks III Conductor – Rhys Chatham Drums – Jonathan Kane Electric Guitar [Alto 1 & 2] – Dominique Pichon Electric Guitar [Soprano 1] – Claude Alvarez-Péreyre Electric Guitar [Soprano 2] – Kent Condon Electric Guitar [Tenor 1 & 2] – Jean-François Pauvros Mixed By – Martin Wheeler, Rhys Chatham The real highlights here are tracks 3, 4, and 5. Allegro is up there with as one of the most uplifting songs of all time. The vocals of the guitarists going "Hey!" is a wonderful touch. "No Trees Left" is quite unexpected given the first three tracks. Quite a haunting piece given the title. Gives thoughts of the end of the world, the end of nature. All the trees are gone, so the grass knows they're next. And they're terrified and screaming. Adagio is a wonderful slower version of Allegro but with crescendos abound reminiscent of Glenn Branca's The Ascension. A magnificent set of three tracks.
