Music reviews of Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do
Music Review: A law unto themselves
Rating: 3 Stars
I've listened to this twenty minute piece of music once. I found it moderately appealing. People who don't consider this to really be Sigur Ros, have obviously not listened to the first album, Von. Is this a step back instead of forward? It could be viewed that way, perhaps, but that's too artificial an approach, I suspect. Sigur Ros is about doing anything at all . . . whatever the group feel like doing . . . and at this point, they obviously wanted to do an experimental piece. If their next album is along these lines, without actual songs, it will be an undeniable disappointment, but there's no reason to believe that will be the case. Does it compare to their best work? No, it certainly doesn't. But it isn't an album, after all. It's a twenty minute piece of experimental music. Is it great experimental music? No, I don't think it is. Is it interesting? Yes. The best stage of the piece is definitely the third stage, 'Di Do', with the vocal samples. After the slowness of the first two stages, it comes across as quite vital in its composition. The first stage is basically a fragmentary composition played on a child's music box. The second stage appears to mix the music box sounds, with the sounds you get when you press buttons on a phone . . . it's quite original and appealing. And despite what other reviewers have said, you can just hear Jonsi on the third stage, amid the samples (hardly at all, in truth, but you can hear him). It's very easy to dismiss this kind of work. It can seem indulgent and dissatisfactory. But you have to enter the spirit of the piece, otherwise there is indeed no point owning it. If you're a genuine Sigur Ros fan, you're going to make the effort, and not dismiss the experiment. What Ros fan doesn't prefer the vocal/song-based material? Because of the interstellar voice of Jonsi, the most unique and beautiful voice since Liz Fraser. But at the same time, if you approach this piece as an instrumental experiment, you won't feel the resentment and disappointment that some fans have obviously felt. Sigur Ros, after all, are really the only group that matters in the twenty first century. They should not be placed alongside any other group, or compared to any group. They work apart from everyone else. This is the latest stage in their journey. It should not be dismissed.
Description of Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do
UK digipak pressing. Written for octogenarian US choreographer Merce Cunningham's Dance Company's 50th gala performance, Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do is 20-minutes plus of new instrumental music based around music-box piano lines, percussive sounds derived from ballet shoes and the fractured syllables and tap dancing feet of Merce Cunningham himself. Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do includes three separate tracks, respectively 'Ba Ba', 'Ti Ki' and, yes, 'Di Do'. In the spirit of the commission, these were initially written to be played in any order, but, having lived with them, the band like it best when they occur in the sequence presented here.Alternative Rock CDs
