A WAR STORY

Sound collages is not my favorite type of music......... if it can be called music at all. If you want to tell a story, do it by full albums with music or by writing a book (or doing a blog). On this album, which mercifully is only thirteen minutes long, you get extracts of speaks president Bush, vice-president Cheney and others over some classical music. As a sound collage, this is not even clever.

Yes, I understand that USA are in the middle of a roots to branches reflection over the Iraq war. A war which everyone have their own opinions about. That includes me too. So let's not go into if this war was justified or not. I don't want to even express an opinion about this issue which this album is based on. In this matter, I am only expressing my deeply felt admiration for the privates and the lower ranked officers in the US Army. My grading of this album is by no means a slur on them. But this album is a waste of time and my stars reflects that.

I have no idea what DW Dunphy is normally doing on his many free albums. But I hope his other albums is far better than this.
