Original score composed by John McEntire. |
|
It was inevitable that Tortoise lynchpin John McEntire would find his way to scoring films. From the beginning, Tortoise's moody instrumental work was evocative of some unseen film noir. Predictably, McEntire adapts easily to the soundtrack format on reach the rock. Most of his compositions are reminiscent of his Tortoise efforts, full of atmospheric electronics, syncopated rhythms and the perfect mix of space and ambience. McEntire's too much of a collectivist to let REACH THE ROCK be a solo project though. He drafts fellow post-rockers Sean and Cake, Polvo and Dianogah--as well as Tortoise bandmate Bundy K. Brown--to add tracks to the score. The result amounts to a consistently involving, appropriately subtle state of the post-rock union address. |

Rolling Stone (4/1/99, p.103)
- 3 Stars (out of 5)
- "...Soaked in a dark, jazzy ambience, it alternates between languid instrumentation...and sinister, synthesized moodiness..."

CMJ (2/1/99, p.3)
- "...this satisfying score moves like a smoldering and mysterious drama....Keenly layering guitar, drums ans languid bass amid a gently creeping fog of electronic whisps and whirrs which lend his potent rhythms a modernist flair..."
