For me, Tortoise has always been a big fish that deserved bigger pond. With almost twenty years of their history and ten groundbreaking releases, they have not recieved as much recognition as they should. Maybe because they always refrained from quiet-loud form, which imprisoned so many other artists? Certainly numerous music voltas during their career had some influence too.How amazing Tortoise was in 1996, when they started a self-made soundscape revolution? Well, it's beyond the words. One may call them a jazz group influenced by rock, the other might argue that they were actually rockers without lyrics, but noone can deny how prominent 'Millions Now Living Will Never Die' is - even today.
The only thing is still questionable: if McEntire and his mates visited any kind of glass museum before composing 'Glass Museum'? If the answer is 'yes', then I'm voting for building more of these buildings in my city. Or, if it's only tradition of getting weird but aproppriate names to instrumental tracks, I can only try to imagine a better name to this one:
