Supreme works of British minimalism from The Lost Jockey, an aggregate of musicians active within the realms of modern classical and the avant-garde in the late 80’s with compositions led by Andrew Poppy, Orlando Gough and John Barker. Named after the painting by Belgian surrealist René Magritte, the ensemble unfurl five pieces of timeless, exquisitely constructed pieces of minimalist composition that draw obvious influence and inspiration from the canon of US minimalism pioneered by Steve Reich and Philip Glass years earlier. Andrew Poppy’s opening ‘Cadenza’ is a blissful cascade of elegant piano notes, whilst John Barker’s ‘Phrase Book’ and Poppy’s final piece ‘Matters Of Thought’ make use of repeated passages and gradual elements of additive / subtractive composition. Orlando Gough’s full-sided piece ‘Hovering At The Beach’ on the B-side however is the stand-out – an organic array of classical instrumentation that gradually builds to a state of repetitious, like an obvious British relative of Reich’s epic ‘Music For 18 Musicians’. Not much else to say about music this obviously incredible.. SUBLIME.. (NM/NM – OG Belgian press).
