I saw this band about a year ago and just now got the CD! When I think about that time that could have been enriched by this music...I love driving to this CD, especially to the version of the theme from "Psycho".

The innovation with musical form(s?) is more than entertaining-it is emotionally captivating. I'm biased because I'm a sucker for cello, violing, etc. music even though I do not play any instrument.

Inverting the string quartet from two violins, viola and cello to two cellos and one violin and viola, "Invert" is, first, a must for Kronos Quartet followers and second, required listening for the forging of contemporary classical string repertoire. In an album composed by its members, "Between The Seconds" takes the listener from driving, ostinato themes that excitedly crescendo with exponential energy to fully expansive and outward-reaching, atmospheric material to imaginative incorporation of world music elements and pop fusion. It is an album that appeals to both the classical academic as well as the "rock cello" interests. In short, there is no pause in the energy and vitality of this group. Extraordinary.

This is music takes the best of pop enthusiasm and classical skill and presents a unified composition. One of my favorite CD purchases in the past five years.
