4.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!, 10 Mar 2003
By Keith Mitchell "keith9452" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'3 Ways of describing Rain' is wonderful, beautiful, hypnotic music. The plangent singing of the Misra family is heart-rending, soulful, emotive, and will transport you instantly to the dark evening heat of India under the stars. The Michael Nyman band softly, sympathetically underpins the first two movements, and only briefly displays the familiar Nyman driving rhythms and intervals in the third. A meeting of equals? Possibly Nyman pays more deference to the Misras than vice-versa, but the whole composition hangs together in a remarkably moving combination.

Why only 4 stars? The fourth item on the CD, "Compiling the colours" seems brash and 'Westernised' in comparison with what has gone before - much less subtle, much less interesting.

Never mind - the rest is brilliant - JFDI!

4.0 out of 5 stars Close to Nirvana, Near to Enlightenment, 20 Nov 2003
By Chris M. Dooks "bovinelife" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an absoultely wonderful CD. I'd written Nyman off recently, as he seems to have veered from beautiful snowdrift melodies into a general slush. He's better when he's got something both sensitive and hypnotic to work with. The previous reviewer hit the nail right on the head. The CD's opening silo is incredible and mystic, emotional, touching, moving and human. It works best when the two are complementing each other making a fusion that you would be normally hard pressed to discover.

The CDs weak point is the clockwork rigidity of the last section (and over half the music on offer) which is beautiful in sections, but the orchestra sounds clunky and awkward next to the twang of - the name of the instrument escapes me but it's a little like a loose electric guitar with no fuzz !

However, it's no bad section and it's only a slight disappointement to an overall fusion in the best sense.

A good companion CD to this one would be the Philip Glass/ Ravi Shankar collaboration PASSAGES which is equally wonderful and suffers from similar dillemas...
