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.
