4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Impressive.......1999-08-03

"Score" is the first album I have from this genre. I bought it because track 2, "The Infinite Jest" was funky enough to draw me in and make me curious about the rest of the album. Haslinger manages to create some very emotional tracks-- "Macheda," "War in the Heart of Eden," "When Worlds Collide,"-- by pairing pop and rap like beats with haunting vocals that will stay with the listener long after the album has finished playing. Typically, I don't like this genre of music because it's too monotonous. "Score" has changed my views, though. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars wordless poetry of meaning.......1999-07-30

This is not my normal musical genre. Normally I detest "world music". Most of the music I've heard that samples native music styles, studio-izes steel drum bands, and/or mixes electronic and ethnic sounds have come across as trite, superficial, and exploitive. When I hear traditional religious music given an underlying electronic beat, I am very strongly struck by a theme, conscious or not, of technology worship.

This album juxtaposes traditional and electronic music in a conscous and meaningful way. The forces of tradition, ritual, and human emotion swirl around the driving reality of human technical achievements and modern society in a literal, musical way on this album. I'm amazed to be realizing what the songs are "about", even though most don't have lyrics. It's a hard concept to express, but there's poetic meaning within this music that most artists rely on words to convey.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Musical Soundscape, Beautifully Created..........1999-04-24

Haslinger's "Score" is places the listener in a spiraling harmonious soundscape filled with hauntingly beautiful vocals, rhythms, and sound effects. A somewhat brooding and apprehensive feeling throughout the entire album creates a truly unique experience not to be found anywhere else. "Score" will grow on you. A world class recording for top-of-the-line audio systems. Highest Recommendation.

5 out of 5 stars This is music years ahead of its time . . ........1999-03-14

Just like the previous reviewer expressed, I wasn't sure how or what would top World Without Rules. That CD blew me away when it came out, I had never heard anything like it, it was truly unique. Well this CD blew me away even more so than World Without Rules. Some of the sounds carry forward from the previous CD, but infused with great Jazz flavour and a darker textured sound. This is music years ahead of it's time and what we will be listening too commonly 10 years down the road. This will take many serious listenings to fully grasp everything Paul has put into this CD. Keep at it Paul!

4 out of 5 stars Excellent follow-up to "World Without Rules".......1999-03-13

For three years I have been wondering how Haslinger would follow-up on his ground-breaking "World Without Rules". This time around he takes us in a different direction. Darker, and with more of an an emphasis on street/rap/hip-hop beats, Paul continues to prove his mastery of the studio as an instrument. Nothing in modern music today compares to Haslinger's unique sound sculpting abilities. While not as stylistically varied as his previous work, it continues to break new sonic ground. This, too, will occupy much time in my home and car cd.
