Our Take

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Aitken H B 1924 Piano Fantasy Gary Kirkpin British English

In the wacky world of music, there are albums that push boundaries and challenge norms. And then there's "Aitken H B 1924 Piano Fantasy" by Gary Kirkpin. This collection of British English piano compositions is anything but fantastical.

Kirkpin's attempts at weaving together classical styles with modern influences fall flat, like a souffle that never quite rises. The melodies lack cohesion, the rhythms feel disjointed, and the overall sound is as appealing as a soggy biscuit.

It's clear that Kirkpin is a talented pianist, but his attempts at creating a "fantasy" fall short of the mark. The tracks feel more like a nightmare for your ears, with discordant notes and jarring transitions that leave you scratching your head in confusion.

While some may appreciate Kirkpin's avant-garde approach, most listeners will find themselves wishing for a more coherent and enjoyable listening experience. "Aitken H B 1924 Piano Fantasy" is a bizarre journey into the depths of musical experimentation, but ultimately, it's a journey best left unexplored.
