Evan Ziporyn / Gamelan Galak Tika: Amok!, Tire Fire
$17.99
I have not written a review in over a year but for this my silence will be broken. Usually, it takes a couple of listens for me to decide an album is good enough to put on my short desert island list. This disc made it by the end of the first track!

The Gamelan Galak Tika engages me on every level: polyrhythmic, harmonic, emotional, cultural, intellectual, micro tonal, physical, and just plain being in awe of the composer and especially the musicians. After listening to decades of extremely challenging music i have finally found something that stretches my ears in completely unexpected directions.

The above reviewer is right, run, dont walk! Not buying this CD is not an option. You dont need any more input. Its worth full price. Just get it.
