Reflections On Metal
A Biglist/Nexlist Compilation
Conceptualized, compiled, produced, managed, cover-arted
and whatever by Jari Riitala
To prepare for this compilation, the artists were given the title and
instructed to explain how their entries relate
to it, with additional guidance that "metal" does not by any means need to
refer to the musical genre. The rest
was up to them. |
<commercial nonsense on>
This semi-thematic album is a brilliant effort of a talented and creative bunch,
a magnificent display in how different people have responded to a
common phrase, with their output varied in both style and content.
