Erik Lindgren Scores!
(sfz)
Seven beautiful, impressionistic pieces for
chamber ensemble by psychedelic music
archivist/Arf! Arf! impresario/Space
Negro/Birdsongs of the Mesozoic co-founder
Erik Lindgren. Totally devoid of the
Minimalist influence that has all but
slaughtered American new music, these seven
pieces display a tenderness, intensity of
focus, and sense of personal identity that
tend to get swallowed up in the massive
Birdsongs sound. A PC-compatible CD-ROM
synchronizing opulently colored nature  
shots to four compositions makes an Music Review Index
enjoyable adjunct, but the imagery lacks  
the avant-garde vision of Lindgren’s music.
Highly recommended, especially if you think
you don’t like classical music.
