Music reviews of Untold Things
Music Review: Imaginative, thought provoking compositions
Rating: 4 Stars
Whimsical, pensive and kissed by a variety of world music samples, Jocelyn Pook's style in this recording reminds me a little of Deep Forest without the programmed beats. As with all her music that I'm familiar with, the tone of "Untold Things" is minor and distinctly laid back, yet pregnant with carefully patterned intent. This isn't mindless, repetitive filler, but intelligently crafted modern chamber music tinged with elements of New Age fusion. It could perhaps do with a little more livening up now and then, as in the intense and interesting track #5, "Take Off Your Veil" and the fun, drummy "Calls, Cries and Clamours," but overall, "Untold Things" provides an intriguing and satisfying listening experience. My favorite pieces are the poignant and hypnotically complimentary #8, "Saints and Sinners" and #11, Saffron, with their mix of harmonized vocals and sampled chants over a simple but affecting piano and psaltery ostinato. Joining Pook's vocals and viola are singers Melanie Pappenheim and Parvin Cox, psaltery player and co-arranger Harvey Brough, along with her customary collection of chamber orchestra strings, select world instruments, modest programmings and assiduously documented samplings. Try also Pook's gently elegant soundtrack for "William Shakespeare's `The Merchant of Venice'" and her much darker, more eclectic album "Flood" (the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut"). For more the way of artful world music fusion, you might enjoy Hans Zimmer's "Millenium" and Paul Winter's "Earthbeat" (the source of the theme song for the "Survivor" reality TV series) as well.
