Album Review
It's never been easy to pigeonhole Trey Anastasio, but even armed with this knowledge Time Turns Elastic, his symphonic collaboration with Don Hart, still manages to surprise. Anastasio has flirted with orchestral pieces before but this is a full-blown, long-form composition arriving in ten movements, its luxurious strings recalling Gil Evans, and Anastasio's twinkling single-note leads alternately bringing to mind Larry Carlton and Jerry Garcia. Not all of Time Turns Elastic is instrumental: by the time "Landslide" starts four songs in, vocals are brought into the tapestry, but they're used as a way to pull the piece into focus, not to push it in a pop direction. Certainly, Time Turns Elastic wasn't meant to be sampled track by track, it's designed to be consumed in one sitting, to feel the waves of sound ebb and flow, to experience the subtleties in what is Anastasio's most intriguing and successful foray into art-pop to date.

Beauty and Wonder
by musicman1980Trey's compositional skills are the highlight here.
Between Hart's orchestrations, Trey's playing and the lyrical content of this work, it's no wonder he wanted to take time off of Phish. (However, I am one of many who was excited and relieved to hear they were back together.)
Very few jam band front men could do what Anastasio has done here. He's captured elements of rock, jazz and classical to combine them into a new type of jam - Orchestral Jam. He's much more than a front man, he's stretching himself into areas where he knows many phans might not follow, but he remains musically true to himself.
I cannot help but think of the great 20th century composer, George Gershwin as I sit here listening to this piece. It's absolutely beautiful. Cheers Trey - here's one PhishPhan who is loving all the different musical directions you're working through. Keep traveling that road.
You should write works like this more often, but, you know, still play with Phish too!
eh sorry Trey, I expected better from you.
by BoolezI'm a fan of phish but this sort of stuff is almost one shade short of lame. If this wasn't being passed off as classical I'd be a little less harsh. There is a clash of sounds that just doesn't blend very well and the vocals just add to the cornball nature of the album. The addition of an electric guitar with an orchestra is not a new or origional idea. One only has to look to Steve Mackey's work to hear how the instrument can be incorperated in a traditional concert setting. If he was just trying to be ironic it was lost on me. Still if you're a loyal Trey fan (but not phish) and are bent on buying it you can't really argue with the price.
once again trey baffles us
by drewdavthis composition/symphony/whatchamacallit is absolutely brilliant. out of all trey's solo work since the phish breakup, this and the horseshoe curve are by far my favorite. if you like trey or phish and orchestral music, this will certainly not disappoint you.
