I usually listen to a Thunderstorm CD to help me fall asleep but this would work, too.

I haven't heard the score, so going by word of mouth from friends and some of the reviews. If it's truly the snooze you thought it was, Jordan, I guess I can finally stop using the recording of Bed and Sofa to knock me out at night.

Wow, a Bed and Sofa reference...you don't get those often.

My question is how does PS Classics stay in business?

This is one recording I will have to hear before buying.

I didn't see Adding Machine, but on cd the score is barely a score. It feels more like random dissonance or background music.

Well, it has to be better than My Life With Albertine, right? Right?!?!

I would have to say that there's about 8 minutes of really stunning vocal arrangements in the score.

I think it's comparable to "My Life With Albertine." That show had one great song - the title song - and this one has about one song's worth of really great material.

I have never successfully made it through a complete listen of My Life With Albertine. I've tried and tried and tried...

At least My Life With Albertine had, y'know, songs. Like, when a character starts singing and keeps singing for however long until the song is over. In this pitiful excuse for a show, you have a character declaim two lines to music before reverting back into a five minute sermon, then singing two more lines, and calling it a song.

I saw it last night. I've never been so bored in my life. Not to employ a time-worn cliche, but it really was comparable to watching paint dry. Were I not sitting in the middle of a row, I would have joined the roughly 30 people who fled in medias res.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
