Eleven Questions

by Paul Bates "Eleven Questions" is a new direction for Robert Rich, with just a hint of the old, as in "Seven Veils." The music is accoustic, the pieces relatively short compared to most of Rich's other efforts, and the colaboration with Markus Reuter is very successful, which is to say their sound is of one mind. The music is organic, often atonal, yet melodic at the same time. It is well worth a listen--it might just grow on you.
