4.0 out of 5 stars And strong they are, 7 April 2000
By A Customer
This album marks the beginning of WM's "late period", a forerunner of recent "orchestral" works. The opening track "Watch!" comes as a bit of a shock: a short and loud intrada with robustly sawing low strings, hysterical brass and a bizarre oom-pah motion. "The Personnel Changes" features WM's popular archaic electric piano and falsetto plus Dirk Deeschemaeker's omnipresent soprano sax. Actually it's a very moving piece. "Paying for Love" and "Words on a Page" anticipate the style of ensemble writing extensively documented later on "Reculer Pour Mieux Sauter". "No Testament" is an odd melange of cheerful/tragic/naive/ironic - typical WM mood, that is. The final piece "The Whole" is a lavishly orchestrated (well, don't take this too literally...) version of "Song and Story" from "The Sources of Sleeplessness". This again is one of WM's regular procedures: recycling and cross-referencing. In short, a very fine collection of music.
