COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Remarkable and Strange submitted by Jan Wolter on August 21, 2013, 9:02pm This was one of Sheila Chandra's last few albums, in which she performs almost alone, one voice usually above a simple background drone. It sounds to me like she sometimes uses a digital delay, so that sometimes she is singing in accompaniment to what she sung a moment before. She seems to be set on exploring the limits of what one can do with a human voice. Mixed in with this very experimental music are some traditional English folk songs, performed in the same amazing style, and quite a bit of powerful feminist material. Altogether and exciting an delightful musical journey.

Sheila Chandra took the techniques explored this album a step further in her next album, ABoneCroneDrone, which to my ears ceases to be music to listen to and becomes instead an acoustic environment that you inhabit for the duration of the CD.
