Editorial Reviews
The Wire, April 2000
That such a complex, trenchant and stubbornly musical soul could create such gripping and socially engaged music is a testament...
Album Description
The Ten Tape Compositions: Fat Millie's Lament, The Wasting of Lucrecetzia, For Harry, Lemon Drops, Dante's Joynte, Rerun, Mouthpiece II, Hiss, Few (in collaboration with Henri Chopin), and Kyrie. "Over his career, Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) produced a lot of electronic music. However, works for tape alone are fairly rare in his output. Over about a thirty-year period, ten works for solo tape were produced. Of the ten tape pieces, five were created in the mid-1960s at the University of Illinois, one was created in 1974-5 in his home studio in La Jolla, and four were made in the studio at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, which he directed during the 1980s and early 1990s. Not surprisingly for a composer whose stated aim was to blur the distinctions between language and music, six of the ten pieces feature an overt use of the voice, while two of the "purely electronic" pieces use timbres that are so vocal in character that one is constantly thrown back onto a consideration of Kenneth's main obsession, the voice. Only two of the pieces, both from the Illinois period, seem to not deal with the voice in any way."

The real thing.......2004-06-02
Today NPR's All Things Considered had a piece on about an "avant
guard" composer of music. What they played sounded like mainstream pop music, about as avant guard as 80s "art" rock. Tame and brainless. I dare them to review this recording or any of the other ecordings of Kenneth Gaburo's music. It's a sign of how bad things are when "educational radio" treats pop garbage as if it's important and ignores music of this quality. They should listen to Fat Millie's Lament and read the notes on it, they've given up the right to being taken seriously about serious music.
Since public radio has given up serious music if you don't want your ears and mind to turn to gummie worms you'll have to get it on your own.
