Customer Reviews:
Left in the forest with no way out.......2006-11-17
This review is about 15 years overdue but I write it nonetheless. By the time this record was released, I had already been to quite a few Dead performances and loved every aspect of their shows, from the people to the atmosphere to the music, especially the recurring centerpiece that dominated every concert, a long improvisational better known as 'Space.'
Space set the Dead apart from everyone else. It was a groundbreaking concept for a live rock performance, one that led you into some dark places both musically and spiritually, later delivering you from the shadows with an upbeat denouement that closed every show.
On this record, however, you are deposited smack dab in the middle of that forest with no breadcrumbs to lead you out again and that, my friends, is not the easiest thing for a Dead fan to handle.
What's more, these pieces are not even linked musically (let alone thematically), they are spliced together by an editing technique that somehow seems to ignore the musical progression interwoven into the shows from which they were taken. What you have, as a result, is a recurring nightmare, one from which there is no exit. You remain locked into the darker side of the Dead's musical explorations and there you stay, for almost an hour.
I won't deny that there will be some that would enjoy this type of record but, frankly speaking, I use it at Halloween as a soundtrack to accompany the stuff I decorate my house with. I would strongly advise anyone new to the Dead to avoid this recording. Stick with the complete shows that have been released. This record doesn't do the band, or even you, justice.
there can't be only 5 stars in space!.......2005-11-17
Most casual listeners would think this album is a compilation of useless noise. Think of how much creativity these fellas put into making this confusion. Sit back and listen to the space take you away...classic...uh..noise record.
Highly Recommended.......2005-08-08
If you're in the mood to hear SPACE, this CD delivers
magnificently. I'd recommend programming just those tracks
where Jerry & Phil Lesh shine. Leave out the first two
tracks, the Hornsby piano track and the final track, which is
good, but mainly saxophone. Thusly programmed, this CD is
a great SPACE experience and deserves top-shelf status as a
Grateful Dead CD. Another key to enjoying this CD: don't
forget to listen for Phil...the bass is great.
Bona Fide.......2004-10-01
This is no less than the most trippy of all dead albums. If you know anything about The Dead's "Space" sessions, that's saying a lot. Most people familiar with this standard probably think of it only in the context of intoxicants, but to the contrary, it is very gratifying completely sober. Don't get me wrong. It's not everyday listening, but definitely a regular listen for the enthusiast.
An Hour of Drums and Space!!.......2004-02-20
"Infrared Roses" is an amazing collection of live recordings from The Grateful Dead recorded between 1987 and 1991. Unlike other live albums by the Dead, "Infrared Roses" focuses on the free-form experimental moments that were performed during the second set of every live show. These sections were commonly known as "Drums" and "Space".
Producer and GD soundman Bob Bralove compiled and processed these improvisations into four symphonic-style suites consisting of three movements each. While most of the music is presented untouched, there are several sections that are compiled and mixed from multiple improvisations. The style of these improvisations range from ambient ("Little Nemo in Nightland") to easy listening ("Silver Apples of the Moon" which features pianist Bruce Hornsby performing variations on the Dead classic "Dark Star") to avant-garde (the title track and "Magnesium Nightlight") to jazz ("Apollo at the Ritz" which features saxophone extraordinaire Branford Marsalis) to world music ("Speaking in Swords" and "River of Nine Sorrows").
Also prevailent in this CD is the band's extensive use of Midi technology. On nearly every track, the band uses Midi to trigger the sounds of trumpets, choirs, flutes, voices and various sound effects from their traditional instruments of guitars, bass, keyboards and drums.
As mentioned above "Infrared Roses" is a different kind of Grateful Dead album. The focus is on improvisation and experimentation instead of actual songs (the closing of "Uncle John's Band" can be heard at the beginning of "Riverside Rhapsody" though). This is not recommendend for someone just discovering the Dead. However, it is highly recommended not only for Deadheads but for fans of experimental music, free-form improvisation and jazz. This is a great collection of some of the band's best experimental moments.
Buy this album, turn up the stereo, turn out the lights and listen!!
