The voice has a central place in Michael Finnissy's output. His is an art of line, of connective lyric movement spun out over a breath; it is also a deeply humanist art, an art in ardent search of human connection, of which the voice, reaching out from the depths of the body into the world around us, is the primal vehicle. Finnissy's work manifests across the decades an abiding concern with the complex nature of this most bodily, most physical, most personal of instruments- what it is to give voice, to vocalize, to speak or sing in different contexts and different ways, private or public, as an individual or as part of a collective. The four works on this recording, spanning forty years, show Finnissian vocality at it's most blazingly intense displays of virtuosity that push mind and body to the limits of their flexibility, reach, stamina and control.

Subhuman Race (Blue & Black Marble) - Subhuman Race (stylized sUBHUMAN rACE) is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row, originally released March 1995, by Atlantic Records. This is the last Skid Row album with singer Sebastian Bach and drummer Rob Affuso, and the last one to be released on Atlantic. Certain tracks from the album were remixed for the band's compilation 40 Seasons The Best of Skid Row, given more tender, slightly cleaner mixes to fit better with the other tracks.
