Lifeline album
 $16.29  
This is where it all opens up and changes. Neal Morse is the former frontman of Spock's Beard, the California prog rock monolith. While not his first solo effort, Testimony it is easily his most compelling and provocative. Testimony is a concept album based around Morse's personal testimonial of his life before and after encountering his center, Jesus Christ. Before any of you reach for the mouse button to click off, it might be worth reading a little further to find out why this is musically one of the more engaging progressive rock records in particular and rock & roll albums in general this year. Morse's vision is still one that is sophisticated and sprawling. His attention to detail is even greater and he brings so many elements into his mix that it will make the punters' heads spin. Here, folk, prog, classical, and beautiful singing and arrangements entwine with a challenging, moving, and provocative story. Conceptually, Testimony is divided into five parts over two CDs. Disc one features a gorgeous overture and elements of Laurel Canyon rock that are contrasted with gargantuan ...

During the late 20th century, spoken word recordings -- especially those with musical accompaniment -- had become somewhat commonplace. Some, like the Bill Laswell-Paul Bowles collaboration, Baptism of Solitude, worked wonderfully, by placing the author's often startlingly strange stories in the context of Laswell's dubby ambient exotica. Of course, there were "other" recordings of this type too, far too numerous to mention and they shall remain unnamed so as not to remind the reader of their tedium and pretensions.
Nearly a decade into the 21st century, composer Stephen Emmer offers his own unusual project combining spoken word texts with music. Emmer is best known as a television composer for Dutch TV, whose scores and jingles have graced countless programs, music library sounds, public service announcements, and jingles. Recitement, issued by Austria's Supertrack imprint, is something else altogether. Produced, composed and conceived by Emmer, and mixed by Tony Visconti, this recording sets to Emmer's music texts by everyone from Yoko Ono, the late Allen Ginsberg, travel writer Paul Theroux, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Thomas Hardy, Kurt Schwitters, Jorge Luis Borges, Ken Nordine, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, and more. They are recited sometimes by their authors, via new or previously issued taped recordings, or by the voices of actors such as Richard Burton, Sylvia Kristel, Michael Parkinson, Hugo Claus, and rocker Lou Reed to name a few.
The set begins with Ono vocalizing her own "Listen, the Snow Is Falling, Pt. 1" to her own composition (an anomaly) which was arranged by Emmer and performed by multi-instrumentalist Kazu Makino. Ono is recontextualized inside her own original context, all the while while retaining her voice; thus her text is expanded. This is followed by Theroux's famous "Passengers," as read by Reed, with original music by Emmer and performed on keyboards and a nearly static drum kit and percussion by Berend Dubbe and Sonja Van Hamel. Burton's voice is caught on tape reading Manley Hopkins' "The Leaden Echo," with strings, loops, sampled choirs, acoustics, and keyboards by Maja Roodvedlt, complete with sonic effects on Burton's voice (to which he no doubt would have objected). And so it goes, even into tongues other than English in the examples of texts by Borges and Schwitters (reciting their own works), or Kristel reading Baudelaire. The disaster potential for an album like this is high, but thanks to Emmer's utterly intuitive and spacious musical vision, it all flows together nearly organically. The listener is dislocated but not in an irritating manner. Instead, it feels as if this is a rich travelogue of poetry, prose, and sound is capable of transporting one into the realm of the narrator's description. Recitement is a welcome and luxuriant surprise. ~ Thom Jurek
