ta for that,sounds again like she is in need of a decent producer/editor again but for different reasons this time, think I'll wait for it to turn up cheap on amazon.Like the John Cale idea though, probably do them both good, certainly more appealing than than Reed/Metallica


If DG really did commission this album from here then I don't know what they were thinking. She probably needed someone from maybe the opera world to help us through this.



read the press blurb on this, didn't realise it was on DG and therefore a ''serious'' release, by fuck there is some old bollocks talked about there, reminds me of all the nonsense everyone came up with Jon Lord and his Concerto for Blackmore to solo loudly over the trumpets. Still they are trying I suppose, still going to wait for it to turn up cheap though


I would do that for sure. The problem with classical labels dipping their toes is that they do not know the rock world and respond under the auspices of a big-name-equals-big-sales theory. I doubt they really understand how rock and pop listeners respond to music and what turns them on and why. Especially in the art rock area. It's not a pretentious record (not as pretentious as the pr babble), it's just not a very well thought-through one.



Didn't realise she was still pretty much a top ten chart contender, DG must have been well pleased to pick this up, It will surely be a huge seller on their terms whatever happens. It looks like a good idea on paper but as has happened before that doesn't always translate well in the real world.

edit have any classical/rock crossovers ever been successful, bar a kronos quartet cover of an Aphex Twin tune I can't think of any that don't make you think oof!square peg/round hole
