Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars So Beautiful.......2000-03-30

This is a good and sometimes powerful recording, worthwhile if only for the so beautiful "So Beautiful" by Indran Amirthanayagam.

5 out of 5 stars Best mix of new American urban poetry & music.......1998-05-18

Great selections from the independent video project, featuring Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Allen Gisberg, Ruth Forman, Amiri Bakara among others. The spoken words are wonderfully wrapped with Jazz, Rap, eletronic & classical music. Unfortunatelly, there are some other great poems missing from the original video score (such as Micheal Franti's and Jonny Depp's voices).
