Inti-Illimani performs
passionate native blend
By Emily Wray
Music Critic
The cold, cruel, freezing weather
provided little warmth and hope out
side the Lied Center for Performing
Arts Friday night.
But inside, Inti-Illimani warmed
the audience with a passionate, in
spired, near-per
lect performance
in front of a full
house.
The premiere
Chilean folk group
blended the visual
with the audible to
obtain a spiritual,
mind-opening ex
perience.
By wearing
brightly colored native costumes and
featuring a virtual light show in the
background, Inti-Illimani delighted the
visual palette.
There was so much more to hear,
though. Unique native instruments
blended with European classical in
struments and vocals in Spanish.
A diversity of instruments, ranging
from the lower half of a horse’s jaw,
an instrument native to Chile, to a
native Peruvian instrument to a saxo
phone, were featured all in the same
piece, along with a myriad of guitars.
By adapting instruments from dif
ferent countries, Inti-Illimani has
shown that it is truly a group of inter
national scope and that all music is
intertwined and inspired by other
music.
The beauty ot'this octet is that it’s
able to keep its native music intact,
with the non-native instruments add
ing to the beauty.
Inti-Illimani also showed its talent
for providing a successful array of
musical styles by showcasing the full
spectrum of possibilities, from bal
lads to dance tunes and everything in
between.
One up-tempo piece blended vo
cals, guitars and South American flutes
to provide a traditional Andean
melody, while another piece presented
a haunting love song with an Italian
feel.
Another number featured a clarinet
and European flute in a conversation
with a guitar played mariachi-style.
The piece held a surprise ending, as
wcl 1, as the final expected chord never
appeared at the song’s finish.
The richness and texture of the
music was incredible, and the passion
and intensity never waned, much to
the delight of the audience.
The group’s rapport with the audi
ence was excellent, coaxing the crowd
to take an active listening role and
asking it to ponder political issues and
the weather, too.
The audience carried with them the
warmth and hope portrayed by Inti
Illimani. And after a spiritual experi
ence such as this, perhaps the cruel,
freezing world wouldn’t seem quite
so cold.
Connick
Continued from Page 9
Louisiana town. By the time he was 6
years old he was playing at his lather’s
swearing-in ceremony as district at
torney. A lew years later, the 1 ()-ycar
old Connick was recording with a lo
cal jazz band.
He studied with the likes of Ellis
Marsalisand James Booker while play
ing his music in the city’s French
Quarter. His First album was released
by the time he was 19.
What followed was a string of hit
albums, videos and appearances in
movies such as “Memphis Belle,” and,
most recently, “Copycat.”
“I’m the kind of person who’s al
ways changing it up,” he says.
Those experiences and that atti
tude played into the making of “She,”
including the song “Booker,” inspired
by his early piano teacher. Tuesday
night, C'onniek, the funk band and the
music of “She” will bring with them a
show the likes of which has never
been presented on the Lied Center
stage.

Music Reviews
“Original Soundtracks 1”
Passengers
Island Records
Grade: A
This is a U2 recording. This is
not a U2 album.
Therein lies the basic dichotomy
that is Passengers.
While it is true that Passengers
contains all lour members ofU2, it
also adds Brian Eno, who had ollen
produced U2, to the official lineup.
Eno, an audio junkie who could
very well be to electronic music
what Hendrix was to the guitar,
does everything from synthesizers
to strategies. The sound is beyond
anything U2 has done before.
Thus, it is not a U2 album.
The music, however, is nothing
short of incredible, an immersive
sonic experience. The quality has
not declined in the slightest.
Thus, it is a U2 recording.
“Original Soundtracks 1” is a
collection of music done for film
usage, along the same 1 ines as Eno’s
“Clutch”
Clutch
Eastwest Records
Grade: F
Clutch is not only slightly out of
gear, it has broken the whole crank
shaft. These guys don’t know how
to start the car, much less down
shift.
Somehow, the low funky rock is
built wrong, like the engine of a
Yugo in the chassis of a Ford
Bronco. But the whole album is
best compared to being in the eye of
a hurricane: While what’s goingon
around you should probably im
press you, all you can feel is dead
calm.
Both “Big News I” and “Big
News IF’ are too simple, and Neil
Fallon, the singer, sounds like he
wants to be singing drunk with the
Mighty Mighty Bosstones. A lot of
this album fits into that basic reper
toire.

beauty of this album is that the

thought-provoking.
The collection is broad, from
the almost “One”-like “Miss

like the first song. “Rock V Roll

could have been recorded all at
once, and no one would have no

movie based on the graphic novel
by legendary comic artist
Masamune Shirow.
Plus, there are “additional Pas
sengers.” On “Miss Sarajevo,” a
bridge between verses is performed
by one of the greatest tenors of all
time, Luciano Pavarotti. The Ital
ian bridge is beautiful. On “One
Minute Warning,” Japanese singer
Holi adds his own lyrics and vocals
to Bono’s.
The album is not devoid of mu
sic akin to U2’s usual. The song
“Your Blue Room,” which is being
used In Wim Wenders’ (“Until The
End Of the World” and “Stay (Far
away, So Close!)”) new film, “Be
yond The Clouds,” is on par with
the quiet ballads one may be used
to. Clayton’s narration toward the
end is haunting.
It’s not a U2 album, but “Origi
nal Soundtracks 1” as a work of its
own, is a towering work of immea
surable magnitude.

different. The guitars don’t play all
of the time. My, is that impressive.
Difficult too, I’m sure. Both chords
of it.
“Tim Suit v. The Greys” starts
out pretty well, but it deteriorates
into the same old stuff.
Nothing on this album is great, if
even decent. It’s j ust a typical bunch
of non-standoutish rockers with no
real songs, no real hooks and, from
the looks of it, no real talent. The
guitarist has some promising mo
ments, but not until every song has
some lifeand individuality will any
lhing worthy of merit come from
these guys.
Rehash,rehash,rehash.
End the eycle. Skip this album.
