Album Description

THE MANHATTAN THEME CD produced by recording artist THE ACT FRANCiS is a journey through the events of the September 11, 2001, tragedy as maybe only an electronic musician could translate. The CD opens with the steadily beautiful, lush keyboard piece MANHATTAN representing and conjuring many moods of the city which daily may have been absorbed before the terrorist attacks but THE ACT FRANCiS moves right into the source with an undeniable statement with song number two entitled 9.11.01. This song is like electronic opera. Like a musical checklist leading to the fated day. Track three is a moment of silence for the victims and is nicely placed so that the urgency of the next track engulfs you right uP! (which is also it's title) into a no doubt dance floor version of American retort. The final piece UNTO (America) mix is an Anthem of sorts in that it celebrates the great United States with an abundance of memorable stylistically diverse melodies that wrap the listener in eclectic spontaneity, and beauty. THE MANHATTAN THEME CD is a very musical, artistic comment on the events of 9.11.01 and will make an everlasting impression on your music collection as well as you also get some intriguing artwork done by THE ACT FRANCiS. A portion of the proceeds from this purchase will be donated toward the victims of September 11, 2001. Peace. - GIG HOUSE RECORDS NYC

5 out of 5 stars A VERY TASTEFUL TRIBUTE TO THE SEPTEMBER 11 TRAGEDY........2002-01-15

It is a nice gesture that THE ACT FRANCiS has decided to donate some funds from this CD to the victims of September 11, 2001. The tunes here do have a before and after the events kinda theme and have an intriguing effect on the listener. The first tune Manhattan is way cool with beautiful, haunting piano and then with the second one , 9.11.01, it is like you are being taken behind the scenes of the planning and execution of the terrorist attack (musically that is thank God) and then in a very fitting manner we are given a moment of silence (literally) to mourn the losses. Up! erupts off the CD and is guaranteed to move your feet and morale while the closing tune Unto (America) mix is about as cool an anthem for America as I have heard in recent times. I mean these are great melodies. So I really enjoy this theme CD and think you should, as T. A. F. puts it, add it to your collection as a very artistic and musical comment to the events of September 11, 2001.
