Amazon.com: Selenography: Music: Rachel's   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) At the end of the day, in a sweet spot somewhere among those musical "neighbors" lies the music captured in "Selenography". Typically labeled a post-rock group, the American trio resembles more a classical ensemble, yet their music evades tags as easily as they are able to capture your imagination with it. Selenography is much like their past albums, though I think the sound is a bit sleeker. www.amazon.com /Selenography-Rachels/dp/B00000IR6T   (885 words)

Selenography - Slackerpedia Galactica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Selenography is the study of the physical features of the Moon, especially the mapping of its features. Maria, craters, and mountain ranges of the Moon are the features that are studied and mapped in selenography. Selenography comes from the words "Selene" - a Goddess in Greek Mythology - and "ography" (to write). www.slackerastronomy.org /slackerpedia/index.php?title=Selenography&printable=yes   (61 words)

Solemn ‘Selenography’ by Rachel’s strikes odd chord - Arts & Entertainment “Selenography” by Rachel’s would be perfect as a movie soundtrack, but may fail to appeal to the average listener. This is a tough call; “Selenography” is a beautiful album, but it is not for everyone. There are only two songs on that album- the title track is one half-hourconsisting of ear piercing noise with screeching and whining from the instruments. media.www.thelantern.com /media/storage/paper333/news/2000/10/20/ArtsEntertainment/Solemn.selenography.By.Rachels.Strikes.Odd.Chord-51274.shtml?norewrite200611191153&sourcedomain=www.thelantern.com   (447 words)

NME.COM - Rachel's - Selenography - 14 July 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) 'Selenography' is the sound of art-rockers splashing around in their own decadence. 'Selenography' is the discipline of studying the moon's surface. It's fitting, then, that this new album by Rachel's - a Louisville-based ensemble of classical composers and avant-rockers, one of whom used to be in Rodan - should sound so distant, so removed; like a vast gulf of time separates author and listener. microsites.nme.com /reviews/reviews/19990614154612reviews.html   (337 words)

Rachel's: Selenography: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The study of the physical features of the moon, the idea of selenography connotes a sort of Victorian hybrid of science and mysticism that perfectly fits the album's sound. The chamber music feel is still prevalent this time out; Christian Frederickson's violin continues to occupy the foreground, but the bottom end has filled in a bit, more tracks were recorded with a drum kit, and there's freer use of samples and other goodies. Selenography, while covering a pretty wide range of instrumental textures, presents a more cohesive vision than anything Rachel's have offered so far. www.pitchforkmedia.com /article/record_review/21205/Rachels_Selenography   (503 words)

SELENOGRAPHY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Such is the case with Selenography, the fourth full-length from a unusual ensemble of indie-rock types who have chosen to embrace classical chamber music and explore gorgeous plateaux where pop music rarely wanders. "Selenography" is defined as the study of the moon's physical features, and that proves to be an accurate metaphor for the way Rachel's explore musical crags and dark crevices. Their austere music is steeped in a passionate, well-shaped melancholy that would have done Astor Piazzolla proud. www.worcesterphoenix.com /archive/music/99/09/10/OTR/RACHEL'S.html   (194 words)

He also wrote a popular book on (The branch of physics that studies celestial bodies and the universe as a whole) astronomy some years after emigrating to Durban. The volume 'served its purpose of stimulating interest in selenography'. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/e/ed/edmund_neville_nevill.htm   (1238 words)

Splendid E-zine reviews: Rachel's Consisting primarily of Grimes' measured piano meditations, backed by guitar, viola and spectral percussion, the compositions on Selenography are only intermittently cheerful, conventionally speaking; they are mostly downbeat, minor-key tunes, and their bittersweet beauty comes from their ability to palpably convey loneliness, doubt, uncertainty and mystery. There are exceptions: "Kentucky Nocturne" brims with cautious optimism, swelling to a grand and glorious climax; "Artemisia" drops the piano in favor of rich, bell-like keyboard tones, echoes of a distant tide and, fathoms deep in the mix, a woman's voice. This is music for drawn-out goodbyes in train stations, for solitary rambling through lonely hills, for days spent beneath the bedcovers listening to the rain patter against the roof... www.splendidezine.com /reviews/jun-28-99/rachels.html   (236 words)

Nude as the News: Rachel's: Selenography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Selenography, the group's fourth album, sees a significant turn away from 1995's purely orchestral Music For Egon Schiele record, and in general comes off a bit more loose-limbed than 1996's excellent The Sea And The Bells. More than half of the songs were recorded live with all band members in the room at once, resulting in standouts like "A French Gallease" and the Steve Reich-inflected "Kentucky Nocture" that bridge the gap between American minimalism and the experimental leanings of the indie-rock world. And although Selenography is more ear-friendly to the casual listener than some of the group's other albums, it's nevertheless a record that reveals its many pleasures on repeated plays. www.nudeasthenews.com /reviews/866   (481 words)

Rachel's Selenography CD The heart of the sound is Rachel Grimes's piano, which lies at the center of most tracks on SELENOGRAPHY. The tunes combine a classical sense of arrangement and composition with an edginess that flirts with avant-rock. Strings, acoustic guitar and keyboards weave their way around the melodies outlined by Grimes's piano, occasionally stark and angular, but always attractive and engrossing. www.cduniverse.com /search/xx/music/pid/1123475/a/Selenography.htm   (373 words)

sonomu: Selenography Their previous three have been inspired by art (Egon Schiele, Schoenberg and the poetry of Pablo Neruda), whereas Selenography doesn't claim any explicit inspiration. Unlike their theatrical albums Music for Egon Schiele and The Sea and the Bells then, the songs on Selenography tend to be individualistic. On the other hand, many of the other songs are as good as anything they've done before (for example, Kentucky Nocturne builds up from lone acoustic guitar into a mesh of viola, piano and drums), but it all seems more understated than before, right down to the packaging. sonomu.net /text/~402   (329 words)

TWAS 235: Rachel's, Sea Scouts, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Rothko, Half String, Timonium, Pacific Ocean, Chicklet, All ... A usefully gradual introduction, if you suspect you've spotted a candidate for these mysteries, might be Selenography, the new mostly-instrumental collection by the Louisville revolving-cast ensemble Rachel's, one of the few bands I might have trusted to compose a soundtrack for The Blair Witch Project if contractual obligations had mandated one. Selenography, however, avoids most of The Sea and the Bells' overt lapses, instead sneaking the band's odd impulses in under the cover of less confrontational ones. I don't recommend jumping straight from the violas of Selenography to the perpetual catharsis of the Tasmanian trio Sea Scouts unless you've begun having second thoughts about the whole conversion project, but you'll know you've won someone over completely when the transition no longer fazes them. www.furia.com /twas/twas0235.html   (3205 words)

Newsweek.MSNBC.com - Weekend Maybe this is because Rachel's weaves intricate and subtly dissonant soundscapes that are not easily digested by the average easy listener. Taken as a whole, "Selenography" resembles an impressionistic score to some ethereal silent film—a natural sound for a group that pays homage to the visual arts and uses projected images to complement their live performances. The bulk of their music is woven from acoustic instruments (there are over 20 instruments listed on "Selenography", including the ponderous "gutter rattle" and "sympathetic vibrations"). www.msnbc.com /m/nw/a/ms/ms_r.asp   (1875 words)

Rachel's Review of "Selenography" - as published in The Courier-Journal newspaper of Louisville After the duo composed a 1991 Christmas tape dubbed "Rachel's Halo," they parted ways while Noble tenured in Rodan; upon reuniting in 1994, they formed Rachel's, named after Noble's Toyota Corolla and not after the group's third member, pianist Rachel Grimes. Selenography followed in 1999, and in the spring of 2000 the group resurfaced with Full on Night. users.mark-itt.ru /dbender/data/rachels.htm   (227 words)
