“Roger Doylehas long been Ireland’s foremost exponent
of musique concrète and experimental composition. His late ’70s / early ’80s work
under the moniker Operating Theatre is somewhat legendary, with releases on Steven
Stapleton’s United Dairies label. This astonishing set marks the culmination of his
most ambitious work to date, recorded over a ten year span of time. The first 3 CDs
alone are works of true genius that combine the finest elements of, say,
Pierre Henry and Nurse With
Wound.” — Othermusic Magazine (New York City, USA): February 16, 2000
“Roger Doyle ought to be canonized (declared a saint!)
[…] Those who have not heard this Babel collection have
missed a whole lot in life. What drama! A lot of electroacoustic music composers
are put to shame — they should all bow deeply for Roger
Doyle. His music is warm, funny and richly elaborate — a gold mine!” —
Gränslöst Magazine (Sweden)
