This production by Alan Douglas and Bill Laswell reinvents our emotional participation in the operazone! In allowing Karl Berger to weave a magical tapestry of strings, Laswell has delivered a coup de grace with the rhythmic intensity of tabla beats and waves of sizzling cymbals. Stripped of the predictable, opera has been restored to the art of soulful surprise. Special six-page digipak reissue, with stunning Russell Mills artwork, of a release that has been absent from American shelves for a long time!
