REVIEW
David Little has created a powerful, operatic piece based on interviews he conducted with veterans across several wars. 'Soldier Songs' is divided into three overarching 'movements,' each attempting to portray a different generation's perspective towards war. From the 'Child,' who has developed a glorified view of fighting as it pertains to video games and news broadcasts, to the 'Warrior,' the active soldier who must deal firsthand with the reality of taking lives for the safety of his homeland, to the 'Elder,' who demonstrates the mature outlook of one who has had time to reflect on past wars, and yet is also the same person who is now watching future generations having to come to terms with the killing and death of his fellow man.

Little is accompanied on 'Soldier Songs' by the New York-based ensemble, Newspeak, a promising group of musicians named for the language invented by George Orwell in '1984' to limit thought. This recording is a heightened aural experience presented by a very talented group of performers. Little does not attempt to present an opinion either in favor of or against war; his composition shows a need to come to terms with the thought processes of the soldiers in each scenario. At one moment a 'spoken word' piece, the next a blast of heavy metal, this introspective journey into the minds of our veterans will get you thinking. --Edge New York, Steven Bergman
