Michael Hall: Frank Slade's 29th Dream

(Deja Disc, 1995)

The 39-minute sonic death dream of a Spanish-Civil War veteran. His conclusion? "Life is all right, for the time being."

"An overwhelmingly overpowering statement. This is what music is supposed to be."
-- Frank Doris, The Absolute Sound

"This dialectical masterpiece starts off as a nostalgic reverie for the here and now as it slips inexorably into memory and beyond, but it ends up, maybe, as an expression of faith."
-- Franklin Soults, Boston Phoenix
