Review: | A most unusual album. One of Bobby's concert staples when he did small |
| concerts was to pull about 12 members of the audience onstage and teach them |
| small vocal 'parts'. He would then conduct his 'voicestra'. |
| |
| On this one, he takes 12 talented professional vocalists and makes a recording of |
| the same concept. Each 'circlesong' has no intelligible lyrics, and the music goes |
| in a round. |
| |
| The effect is somewhat hypnotic. I find it very meditative, like some of the |
| baroque music. I enjoy listening to it while doing detailed work on the computer. |
