Release date: July 4, 2009
Fourth release by Hox Vox, it's a concept album about stars - both
intended as prima ballerinas and celestial bodies - and their issues.
Genre is a series of mixes with world music, symphonic progressive, a bit of contemporary and kraut electronics, always with the free approach of Rock in Opposition tradition (from Zappa to Henry Cow): sometime resulting in complex structures with mindbending pairings of melodies with subtle detuned arrangments.
Record start with a Residents-like intro sung by a couple of real pigs, then a piece of math/art rock (Behind the Curtain), sounding like a too dry death metal. Then from Rhythmbox the record starts wedging prog, contemporary, world and electronics.
