An old fave

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Meredith Monk is a rare, unflappable, fearless performer who pioneered a certain vocalese that was deeply informed by exotic world rhythms (before these were hip), circular breathing, prog-rock a la Flying Lizards' Dagmar Krause, and a wonderfully endearing, muscular-diaphraghmatic sense of dynamic that recalls Cage pieces like Aria. Basically, she took the pretentious atonality out of experimental Euro-derived experimental music and replaced it with rhythmics both earthy and meditative. The spare, slightly echoey production here captures this watershed moment of 80s music, and there's even room for giddily deranged nods to vaudeville and show-biz chutzpah. Truly a record that revels in the love of music making.

Great Album

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2011

This is a fantastic album. I first heard the title track "Turtle Dreams" and knew I had to have the album. The other works on the album are amazing as well. If you like avante-garde music this should be in your collection.

Turtle Dreams is ideal for prison interrogations

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020

Pretentious artsy-fartsy crap for the tone deaf. That said it did make for a hilarious Red Letter Media: Best of the Worst video review on YouTube, which is the only reason I give it three stars.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2006

Listeners looking for categories should avoid this album but they should avoid any kind of music demanding your attention and concentration. Meredith Monk is NOT a pop musician, this is very idiosyncratic and beautiful because it leads you into a new universe. Her extraordinary vocal technique is enchanting and amazing becuase it opens your mind onto something new and unexpected. If you're ready for a new musical experience, if you're interested in new musical horizons, if you're not a consumer of music, you should go on a journey with Meredith Monk because your imagination will lead you towards pictures of dreams, dance and daring. This is musical poetry at its best.

Turtled out

Oo this sounds nice, oh wait what is that?!

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2010

I give this two stars because I am drawn to the shifting chords and slow moving harmonic progression, but then people start singing and then it gets microtonal and I don't like it anymore. This happens in View 1, where sudden sounds explode, in not precisely the same tuning as the slow and gorgeous piano melody. It's like looking at a moonscape and then donald duck appearing in all technicolor glory. The affect is clear and startling. Turtle Dreams, I suppose is more effective given a visual, but I can't be sure, although once the initial startling sprechstimme ( if you could call it that...As Schoenberg rolls over in his grave) gives way into chanting and vocalized glissandos, there is a certain captivating, and deeply frightening evocation of pure emotion drawn from the guttural voices. Not my emotions, but I guess I feel sorry for who ever does feel that way. Give Monk a chance...if you can bear it. I am glad I bought this CD, but I look forward to returning it too.
