Subject: a different angle
i liked this album, both conceptually and aurally. The sounds on the album are both soothing and disconcerting (a contradiction I know). I like the idea of having kids work on making a record for serious listening. There are so many options in terms of who could make a record and its too often just men and some women between 18 and 40 that get released. Mike Patton working with the mentally disabled is another example of breaking this pattern. My only complaint with the record is it gets a bit repetitious, but I suppose it's supposed to be that way. Coming from the US it's a little weird hearing the British accents of the children...kind of keeps things fresh.
