The Extraordinary Tale Of A Lemon Girl trilogy : Chapter III: - ""Hitch-hiking Thru Bronze Mirrors" is the third and final chapter of the «Extraordinary Tales Of A Lemon Girl» trilogy depicting a «fruity» Lemon girls nonsensical journeys to oneiric lands.
Our heroin is slowly traveling back to reality, into a beautiful natureland though permeated by an atmosphere of pollution. The score is more acoustic, using a rich palette of instruments and paying attention to themes and melodies although being riddled here and there by some off-kilter sonic eruptions, dissonances or prepaired tunings/instruments. The Lemon Girl comes back home, "safe and sound" but action and suspense are still thrilling "listeners-in-danger" with a sense of uncertainty about the happy ending Life isn't easy nowadays Is it?!
Mind the gap !"

@GP - Welcome back! You are coming at the right time. It is the first prolonged (ie more than a few days) dryish spell for a long time here, quite warm not too cold, not too hot. I hope Heathrow wasn't too difficult - my last experience was about 4 hours from plane to leaving car park, not good.
Just reading on Amazon that we now have autorip on CDs in the UK. There does seem to be a price premium though, certainly on the three or four examples I looked at. I'll explore further.
The Extraordinary Tale Of A Lemon Girl trilogy: Chapter I:
"Sweet cosmic Lemon Girl
Firewalking in your night
Dream growing on grey velvet
Her fortress is a bronze mirror
From her tree hang an apple
But she's not for you to eat.
No escape from her heart
Die your Lemon paradise"
- "Chapter I: Oneiric Rings On Grey Velvet Inspired by the symphonies of Herrmann, Holst, Sibelius, Berlioz, Shostakovich, and a few other... "Oneiric Rings On Grey Velvet" is a "Cyclic" soundtrack in which thematic material being varied occurs in more than one movement as a unifying device. An electronic orchestral record incorporating 20th century classical traditions but framing them in something quite new, while orchestrated for turntables, violins, violas, cellos, double bass, harp, oboes, clarinets, french horns, bassoon, piccolo, tuba, percussions & a choir... Original melodies blurred in to become unconsciously suggested, reappearing here and there, then Petit reworked-modified some themes with his virtual instruments, added percussions, turntablisms, Electric Psalterion, some prepaired Cymbalum and various recordings from his archives. The tale divides in two sections : Side A comprises Movements 1, 2 & 3 where Romantic melancholy is colliding with Avant-electro-acousticisms, unfolding a lush harmonic brillance, transporting you into the layered instrumentation which will give chills down your spine while seducing your heart... Side B consists of Movements 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 forming a dramatic suite, richly detailed and surprising, eliciting action and suspense, thrilling "listeners-in-danger" with a sense of uncertainty about the outcome of certain musical actions until the triumphant orchestration in the final Movement concludes in an absolute victory.
Though not musically trained/educated, Petit obviously lies outside the classical genre but his scores incorporate traditional classical components in a predominantly unconventional manner. « Extraordinary Tale Of A Lemon Girl » continues his investigations into the boundaries of extant, contemporary scoring through the lens of modern cinema. These ideas were initiated in his album Henry: The Iron Man (Aagoo/Beta Lactam Ring Records), "A Scent Of Garmambrosia" (Aagoo Rds), "Silk-Screened" (Trace Recordings) and continued with "Fiends With A Face" his duo with James Johnston (Dirter Promotion) or "OFF TO TITAN: his recontextualisation of Gustav Mahler's first symphony" out on Karl Rds."
@greg, have not actually made it out of Grand Rapids yet due to massive flight delays/cancellations relatd to severe weather (even though the severe weather is not in Grand Rapids). Latest revision has me in LHR Friday morning. Fortunately my first conference was able to push back the plenary I was supposed to deliver after lunch on Friday in Liverpool.
Lowlife - yes Ram is great and is certainly one of my favourite Paul McC albums, just below Band on the Run in my estimation. I've been listening to Passenger a lot lately, had it on in my car earlier. It is possibly something you'd like. The CD is in the album charts, but it is still available on emusic too.
