Our Take

MEV Symphony No. 107 - The Bardin British English is one wild ride through the eccentric mind of composers Maryanne Amacher, Alvin Lucier, and Robert Ashley. The album kicks off with a cacophony of experimental sounds that will either have you tapping your foot or scratching your head in confusion. The use of unconventional instruments and unconventional melodies gives this symphony a truly avant-garde feel. It's like a musical rollercoaster, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

The standout track, "Gong Sonata for Voice and Drum Set," is a masterclass in pushing the boundaries of traditional music. The combination of the gong's resonant tones and the thunderous beat of the drum set creates a hypnotic effect that is both exhilarating and mind-bending.

However, not every track hits the mark. The overly long "Sine Waves for Electronic Motors and Speakers" meanders without providing any real direction or purpose, leaving the listener feeling a bit lost. And while the album as a whole is an interesting experiment in sonic exploration, it may not be to everyone's taste.

In conclusion, MEV Symphony No. 107 - The Bardin British English is a challenging listen that will reward those willing to delve into its unconventional depths. It may not be for the faint of heart, but for those looking to expand their musical horizons, this symphony is a must-listen.
