This is extracts from Irmin Schmidt's Fantasy Opera Gormenghast and as a long-time Can fan, I gotta say that this did not hit any spots for me at all...
"A phantasmagorical soundworld of electronics, symphony orchestra and pounding beats which envelopes singers who effortlessly stretch from pop to classical virtuosity." "The sheer range of 'sensurround' sound is bewildering, loud, sensuous, always intriguing, especially the rustles of exotic percussion emerging from around the auditorium. If Richard Strauss had written rock music, this is what it would have sounded like -- gloriously, unashamedly lush."-The Times
