Rediscovered gem
yipyipcoyote | 09/01/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Originally planned for release in 1987 on the Crepuscule label but was cancelled, and long believed to have been lost, this score for a ballet finally sees the day, thanks to Les Temps Modernes.



Co-written and performed by Tong (ex-Tuxedomoon) and extraordinary Iranian singer Sussan Deyhim, the music is allegedly produced only using vocal sounds, often heavily processed, sounding amazingly like percussion at times. Elsewhere eerie and beautiful drones are bathed in a sea of reverb. There are moments that are reminiscent of Diamanda Galas or Etant Donnes. This is high art that is truly enjoyable and awe-inspiring. Great remastering too."
