Album Notes L'Altra: Lindsay Anderson, Joseph Costa, Ken Dyber, Eben English. Additional personnel includes: Rob Mazurek (trumpet); Fred Lonberg-Holm, Marc Hellner, Mike Lust, Rob Cruz. Recorded between January & March 2000. L'Altra: Frederick Lonberg-Holm (cello); Rob Mazurek (trumpet); Ken Dyber (bass guitar). Audio Mixer: Andy Bryant. Recording information: Kingsize (01/2000-03/2000); Noisefloor (01/2000-03/2000); Sadhu (01/2000-03/2000). Photographer: Joseph Costa. In one word, the music of L'Altra is beautiful. You could get drunk just listening to these gentle, understated phrases from guitars, voices, and keyboards (including L'Altra's trademark electric piano) which combine and swirl together like leaves in a pool of water. "Little Chair" will stop you dead in your tracks and flood your bloodstream with endorphins. The lyrics mingle the abstract with the emotional. Cameos abound here with friends adding cello, vibes, and accordion; there's also a little horn blowing from Isotope 217 and Chicago Underground Duo's Rob Mazurek. When aggressive and violent music dominates the charts, gorgeous music like this often goes underground. Hopefully, MUSIC OF A SINKING OCCASION can be everyone's little secret.
Editorial Reviews 5 out of 5 - ...Pleasantly melodic music, filled with emotion and honesty, that gets your foot tapping....10 tunes that casually spin in their own lazy orbit... Alternative Press (10/01/2000)
...Gorgeous and unusual....An original combination of many contemporary sounds, this is an extremely ambitious and memorable debut. CMJ (07/24/2000)
