Not one of
Lansky's best, this CD features both an old and a new composition. "Six Fantasies on a Poem by Thomas Campion" originates from 1978 and puts Campion's 1602 poem Rose cheekt Lawra through a series of swampy, shiny granular effects. The voice is, as usual, provided by
Lansky's wife, Hannah Mackay, and the results sound surprisingly similar to the discordant voices of
the Residents around this time. "Still Time" uses recordings of wind in trees and people chatting in a crowd as the basis on which to layer sound. Despite the liner notes postulating these tracks as an inversion of film music, this is rather just pretty synth lines on top of field recordings. ~ Ted Mills
