Review of Rip, Rift, and Panic: Life gets edgy on the faultline.


A timely subject certainly - voices from inside an epicenter - that one's not going away! but also - programmers - if you trust your listeners enough to appreciate composition, and the pure pleasure of sounds as they collide (and if you're still holding up the staff for classical music, jazz, and undead modern composers you'd better!) -and if you appreciate what I like to call the "whazzat? factor" - when something's riding by on the radio and the listener wants to know what it is and will try to catch it again if they missed most of it because they have to know - lastly - apparently the first piece on prx from veteran producer/sound artist Susa Stone - well - listen just for that reason, right?
