about

Intakt CD 038

Australian violinist, composer and oddball Jon Rose’s 1995 album Violin Music in the Age of Shopping is one of the most left field items in Intakt’s extensive discography. A postmodern celebration and satire of easy-listening mall music, it slides with reckless insouciance from the over-the-top saccharine muzak schmaltz of “TV Shopping” to the teetering bricolage of “The Channel Surfer’s Guide to the Information Industry” to the fractured noise rock of “Tribal Chant.”
Noah Berlatsky, Bandcamp Intakt-Label profile, 2020
