Soldier is a member of the Soldier String Quartet and his group here includes Ben Neill (trumpet), Bob Bannister (guitar), Samm Bennett & James Pugliese (drums), etc.; Soldier plays guitar himself. "Twangy guitars, droning bass and pornographic lyrics. Dedicated to Robert Mapplethorpe and David Wojnarowicz, these strange songs, adapted from homo- and hetero-erotic Latin poetry of the middle ages, create a medieval surf sound that will make you want to hit the beach with a copy of
Catullus
. 'Matarile', the 2nd composition on this quirky CD, evokes 1990s New York the way Stockhausen evoked 1950s Cologne on 'Gesang der Junglinge'. Using children's voices, rappers and city noises, Soldier structures this work like opposing mirrors in a barber shop -- imitation upon imitation upon imitation ad infinitum." Limited stock, deleted title.
