Artist:	RICHTER, MAX
Title:	24 Postcards In Full Colour
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	FAT 1307CD

"With his fourth album, Berlin-based Max Richter further cements his status as one of the leading lights of modern composition. 24 Postcards In Full Colour is a dazzling conceptual exercise of great beauty and emotional resonance. Each of the album's 24 tracks is a classically-composed ringtone, an evocative miniature whose theme, though fully developed, hints at a larger piece; thus Richter explores the fugitive nature of memory through reprises and repetition throughout this intriguing album. With a sonic palette consisting of string quintet, solo piano, 16-track 2-inch tape, transistors, found shortwave radio, vinyl clicks, dust, scratches and rumble, and acoustic guitars, Richter's latest effort is both beautifully detailed and sonically rich."

Title:	Infra
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	FAT 1311CD

"Originally conceived as a Royal Ballet-commissioned collaboration between composer Max Richter, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie, Richter's gorgeous score to Infra is deservedly given life of its own in this album-length release. Expanded and extended from the original piece, Infra comprises music written for piano, electronics and string quintet, including the full performance score as well as material that has subsequently developed from the construction of the album -- more a continued reference to the ballet than as a 'studio album' in the strictest sense. The composition resonates with Richter's characteristic musical voice -- majestic, involved textures; fluent and sweeping melodies; an enigmatic and inherently intellectual understanding of harmonic complexities that compels and mesmerizes."
