great excitement in the neck, new work from morr music/charizma artist bernard fleischmann. basically a 69 minute two track version of a performance in vienna's museum quarter early in november 1999. part one is nearly seventeen minutes, begins in a hushed, almost devotional calm. the volume and texture of the sounds grow incrementally, fragments of known and familiar fleischmann surface in the mix, while rhythms muster a darker, more fractured sound than one perhaps expects from bernard. the 52 minutes of part two take us still deeper in this singular performance, the trademark approach to accessible and warm melodies remains proud and undiminished, but there is a new take, a mood both gently reflective and quietly tender. in complementing his more pop-based work for morr music, fleischmann exposes himself yet again to be an unfailingly lovable musician. gorgeous.
