In this CD Jocelyn Pook appears to bring together an amalgam of east and west, orthodoxy and innovation. It is the epitome of T.S. Eliot's description of art as 'the objective correlative of a particular emotion'. Many of the compositions are highly innovative without being pretentiously ground-breaking. While the awesome 'masked ball' from Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut may - deservedly - be many people's way in to this CD, the other compositions too are wonderful. 'Blow the Wind Southerly / Pie Jesu' for example brings together the richly poignant voice of Kathleen Ferrier with a beautiful musical phrase and words from the Christian Eucharist. At this point, it is worth noting the excellent vocal discipline of the singers on this CD.
Many of the tracks are contemplative and emotionally charged. Buy it and enjoy a CD which merits frequent playing.

For those who saw the final movie by director extrodinaire Stanley Kubrick and wondered who created the incrediable music pieces in the movie,they have just discovered the wonderful world of Jocelyn Pook.Flood is her second album and it contains two of the great tracks which featured in the movie along with ten other amazing pieces. Pook's music manages to be both very personal and spiritual while drawing on influences from Hindu to Classical music.I highly recommend this album to people who love beautiful captivating music.It leaves a lasting impression and I can't wait to hear what she doe's next.Easily 5 out of 5.

Before Jocelyn Pook became a name in the States she had made a previous CD called Deluge.Via her music used in the film Eyes Wide Shut the followup CDs were issued-Flood and Untold things.
Her pedigree goes back into the early 80s when she and the Electra Strings were seen in the ABC movie Mantrap.After which came a number of sessions for cult names like Virginia Astley whose Elektra album Hope In A Darkened Heart was issued in the States
