Album Review
Kurt Bestor & Sam Cardon's Innovators is the musical companion to the PBS program of the same name, which celebrates 12 notable philosophers, scientists, inventors, revolutionaries, and other innovators, including Albert Schweitzer and Stephen Hawking. The global scope of the profiles is reflected in Bestor & Cardon's music, which incorporates classical, contemporary, and world music elements into 13 evocative pieces. African chants, Irish jigs, American folk, and other traditional and current styles come together on compositions like "Rainmaker," "Folkways," "Electric Highway," "Requiem," and "Mastermind." An appropriately creative soundtrack to an inspiring program.
Customer Reviews
My favorite album ever
If only Sam could feel the joy this album has brought to me and my family for 10 years. I picked it up at an Egghead software store in the check out line--it was a freebee giveaway when computers were just starting to become a household thing. I am a musician and composer and have listened to this album a thousand times and always hear something new in it. Of the thousands and thousands of songs, albums, and assorted compositions I have heard in my life--this collection stands out amongst them all. Some day I hope to meet the great Mr. Cardon for lunch. Keep it up Sam and be well.
The best things in life are free
One of the challenges my mentor Ben Parker presented me with before I moved to California was to remember the things that defined my understanding or perspective. He stated that it didn't matter what it affected, but it was important that I, as a newly groomed businessman, understood how to make an impact, and how to make an impression. I actually had a chance to experience the most innovative demonstration of that principle 2 years before I moved out west, and I owe a now-defunct company a vote of thanks for it. In late 1994, I received a CD in the mail from a marketing department based in Utah. This CD, which was labelled as a demonstration of the new Wordperfect 6.0 for DOS was unique in that it was a completely unique commissioned audio masterpiece, that just happened to have data on track number 1. I remember getting in the mail, skeptical. I put into my "CD player" of the day, a Pioneer LaserDisc player, and was instantly enveloped with a completly unique style of music that has since become one of the standards in world tribal music... acapella African sprituals and classicals. Andy, Matt, and I must have attended that presentation at least 4 times... the giveaway for everyone was a golf umbrella, but if I remember correctly, at least two of us won other door prizes, including licenses for their server side components. Sigh, to be a kid again... especially a kid winning almost $10,000 worth of software. That's what shaped me... what shaped you?
WOW!!!!
This is simply one of the beast CD's i've ever heard. I really enjoyed it and was amazed by everything it brought to me. I first found this CD when i had to sing the "Prayer of The Children" at a choir concert two years ago and was absolutely stunned when i heard it for the first time. Sence then i've listened to it a thousand times and probably a thousand more. This is a great CD and i've really enjoyed it. Great job!!
