Galileo Brothers - The Dancing Lawn

SKU 00-CARBON7-054
"The Galileo Brothers are a mysterious assembly which has existed for 25 years - with an anonymous group of British musicians at the core of the project. 'The Dancing Lawn' is a collective composition in 13 parts by the British core group, with the music played by other musicians they have met throughout their long careers - the list is long and planetary. All the composers and players have a rich and varied past and have rightly intensified this diversity by bringing in musicians who excel on their own local or national instruments. This is no doubt the reason why the project is so rich and coloured, yet coherent, as it takes the listener on its unique sonic journey. Under the apparent 'easy listening' hide a multitude of subtleties of composition and sound, which we discover gradually the more we listen to the album. There is a repetitive aspect to the music, and yet it is constantly changing. The sounds and the instrumental precision are deliberately close to productions by computer - thereby being both relevant to today's sounds, while at the same time giving the finger to machines! And humour is there constantly, subtly. And all this with a freshness of vision and approach, and this is their tour de force, because all too often this kind of experience can lead to a dry intellectualism. Not here - this is musicianship of the highest standard which doesn't take itself seriously - and it's contagious."
