About the Artist
Formed in 1999 featuring former and current members of Stars of the Lid, Ultrasound, and Cinders, the seven-piece My Education is an instrumental hybrid: part space-rock cacophony, part punk rock sonic wipeout, and part ambient bad trip. Founding members Brian Purington, Eric Gibbons, and Sean Seagler left "dirty, nasty" San Angelo, TX, behind in 1999, relocating in Austin, TX, and promptly found themselves frightening clubgoers with their unique yet unsettling sound, and eventually recorded a two-track 7" at former 16 Deluxe snakepit/recording studio The Bubble with vocalist Joe Covington. Covington was later sacked to make room for larger mike stands, and with the addition of keyboardist Kirk Laktas and second, taller guitarist Chris Hackstie, assumed their current line-up, usual suspects all.

5 Popes,My Education,Ballyhoo Withdrawal,Rock/Pop,Trying to pigeonhole the music of Austin's My Education is akin to trying to stuff a pigeon in a hole: the sound is calamitous, there's movement all around, the frenzied beating of wings against wall, and somewhere something is pumping out blood.

    5 out of 5 stars Five songs of greatness.......2003-08-01

    I had been wanting this cd for a while and when I saw them in Austin the second time at the mercury I was very excited and couldn't wait to get this album. When I finally played it I couldn't stop listning to it and today I still can't stop listning to it. Each song is flawless and beautiful and the cover art fits perfectly to the sound of the album. Concentration waltz is the albums intro and is a songs that builds up and keeps building up as it goes. The two guitars have great rhythem and great lead parts as if it was inviting you to venture further into the album. Lesson 3 is the most laid back song from here. This song is one to lay back, relax and stare into uter space with. Nightrider meets the waterfall is the most rocking song on the album and has kind of a punky sound to it showing that this bad is full of instrumental variety. Deep cut is easily the best song on here and the violin and viola shines on this song. Another of the sublime songs from the collection of musical bliss. Crime story is the perfect closer as if the guitar was saying thank you for comming into our musical, world come back someday. If you haven't seen this band live definetly go whenever your in the austin area or when they go on there next tour see if they are hitting a town near you. Defenetly buy this album from one of the record stores in austin or at one of there shows. You won't be dissapointed. My Education is currently working on a second album and I already know it's going to be great.

      5 out of 5 stars Clarifications!.......2007-04-23

      First, this IS music for everyone, contrary to the previous reviewer's pessimism, because it's wonderful music spectacularly well sung. This is one of the very few masterful performances of the diffilcult music of the Codex Chantilly, but don't worry about the musicology. Just buy the CD, put it on a good sound system and listen.
      Second, there are no viols nor violas involved, despite the listing of selections above. Amazon has messed up a classical listing again by confounding the Orlando Consort of singers with the Orlando Viol Consort.

      5 out of 5 stars A Five-Voice Marathon.......2005-09-29

      This is a record of music very unusual to the modern ear, from the time of the great Western schism of the Catholic Church in the 14th and early 15th centuries. Orlando Consort, here four male voices (two tenors, a countertenor, a bass) joined occasionally by a female (alto) run a 16 song marathon without instrumental accompaniment that sounds like a single song. One voice is ahead and then another, with the rest providing counter-point behind, rising and falling steadily within a set course -- nothing unusually high or low, nothing jarring, but always lovely and lilting, neither sweet nor rough -- five joggers maintaining a brisk but overall even and unitary pace.

      Listening to a music of such subtlety obviously requires great patience, the aesthetic is so radically different from what we are used to, yet the effort is quite worth it. This is the atmosphere of the papal courts of Avignon and Rome, the same highly refined atmosphere that produced Petrarch's 365 Canzones, one for each day of the year, most in a few set forms with only subtle variations, all essentially on the same theme. What is prized is regularity, evenness, modulation -- offered as high praise to some proper object. For Petrarch, it was his passion for Laura. For these courtly song writers, it was a new pope, a papal occasion, a papal relative, or -- in three remarkable pieces here --a plea for an end to the schism. Full Latin texts with English prose translations are provided for each piece, along with a good historical introduction.

      This is not music for everyone. Nor even for those who like it will it be for every day. It is also neither as universally appealing as Gregorian chant, nor anywhere near the emotional depth that may be found in the analogously apparent monotony of Orthodox liturgical music. What is here, however, is an astonishing dimension added to one's understanding of what was indeed an unusual era, quite lovingly and expertly brought forward by this little vocal group. Besides the rupture which damaged Christendom, Avignon's big contribution to the future of the papacy (and Europe) was the refinement of beaurocracy. In this sense, one sees the radically muted tonality of this music fitting like a glove, leaving an impression of an aesthetic not unlike those seemingly endless dynasties of Egypt or the Orient. In our own time the affinity would be to Phillip Glass or Brian Eno -- outside the apparent warp and woof of the age at street level, but quite at home in the elevators of the corporate skyscrapers that keep the capital and dollars flowing that underlie the whole gameboard.
