CD Review:
Contemporary Dance Music: Michael Price/Matt Robertson Vol. 5 |
This is a CD with variety. It has a piano base, which creates
an atmosphere with depth and warmth. It is pleasant to listen to
and would be a useful musical resource…in my opinion.
It also has a cultural element with a track featuring drumming and
one with a Spanish guitar. The range of rhythms is good, which adds
to the attraction. You are lulled into a gentle ambience to be then
jolted awake, twitching your feet.
The CD is arranged in three sections. The first track is classed
as the warm up; 10 tracks follow this and finally track 11 is the
cool down. This shows that thought has gone into its use with a class.
It is a resource that I would buy and use with the full range of
age groups. It is contemporary without being off the wall or wacky!
Hope this is useful. Come and listen to it yourself, as there is
a copy at the Resource Centre
in Wheathampstead.
