About This Item

The Caliban Quartet is surprising audiences everywhere with their unique combination of good humor, eclectic programming and virtuosic playing. Though bassoonists love this group, other listeners are delighted with the variety and exuberance they hear. Constantly on the prowl for unusual and exciting music, Caliban performs original compositions and their own arrangements of everything from Renaissance religious music to world music, jazz, and tangos. The Quartet is made up of four of Canada's leading bassoonists including members of the Toronto Symphony and the National Arts Centre Orchestra. Here are some quotes from nice folks who liked our Feast CD 'I was bowled over, I haven't heard such a feel-good record for I don't know how long ... it's that rare thing; it's not 'classical', it's not 'light', it's not even 'contemporary' ... it's MUSIC and could unite a wide range of listeners accustomed to snob one another's product. More records like this might even give the lie to Norman Lebrecht's gloom and doom prognostications for the 'serious' music scene. -- online review, Classical Music Web, Christopher Howell 'The Quartet itself is fabulous... Virtuosity is tossed off as if second nature, tonal quality is premium.... This is one bassoon album worth buying no matter who you are. Anyone in the mood for a party... will enjoy this tremendously, and I haven't had this much fun all year.' Steven Ritter in American Record Guide, Nov/Dec 2001 'I LOVE this CD -Toronto 's sparkling Caliban Quartet collaborating with the multi-talented Bill Douglas -a combination that can 't miss! Every time I play this disc, it brings a smile to my face with it's verve and spirit, and at other times a tear to my eye with it's tenderness and poignancy.... In all it is a wonderful variety of music running the gamut of emotions-all superbly performed and recorded by these crazy Calibans!... Th

    Deftones - Around the Fur   - VINYL LP
    4.6(12)

    Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
