Music reviews of Transit
Music Review: Timely music...
Rating: 5 Stars
If this CD is disappointing (esp. in contrast to "Under the Eye"), it's solely because it's such pure '80s music. But if you can filter out the 80s-ana in here, and hear the whole collection as one of the very very best of the innovative stuff boiling out of that era, some of the best of the new acoustic/new age/new jazz that frothed up that decade, then you'll dig it. And you'll hear it as fresh, resonant, "NOW" stuff, too. It's got a life beyond 1982, yes it does.
OK, it's full of 80s gimmicks, the synthesized hand-clap rhythm, etc, but if you're tired of it now, just relax, because it was so new then. And Walder/Stein were among the first and best to plunder the new and the old for sounds that helped deepen their music. I still remember the happy dissonance of that electro-clapping. It worked then, it still does.
For myself, I like this CD a ton. I also love "Under the Eye" and I've worn out the Stein Group's CD "Carousel". These boys have a knack for feeling-ful music, that helps me (maybe you too) figure out whats going on deep in our locked-up hearts and put some musical vocabulary to it. To know it for the first time.
I love that about music. As a favorite professor called it, "the history of an emotion". Stein and Walder are excellent affective historiographers.
Description of Transit
One of the best and innovative new acoustic/new age/new jazz albums that came out in the decade of the 80's. This album added lush electronics and a number of talented sidemen to the mix, including bassist Michael Manring. If you wanted to look into the future from back in 1986 and see in what direction music might be heading, all you had to do was to pick up Transit. Stein and Walder were way ahead of the curve.Jazz CDs
