I bought this album, at considerably more than I usually spend on music, because I had heard "The Jogger" and other Loeki Stardust pieces on YouTube. On the one hand, their performance is always incredible, full of vivacity and technical excellence; on the other hand, with the exception of "The Jogger," I found every piece on this recording completely unbearable. It's all postmodern stuff; it was literally painful to listen to in places. The quartet can't be faulted for this--they brought surprising feeling to work that I found totally inhuman--but the pieces themselves are simply unmusical.
