Gilbert & George - The Thoughts Of Gilbert George
Review by Satish Mruthyunjaya
The Thoughts Of Gilbert George is a unique and thought-provoking album that features spoken word pieces by the renowned British artist duo, Gilbert & George. The album is a collection of their musings on various topics such as art, politics, society and life in general.
The album opens with the track "Art for All", which talks about the democratization of art and how it should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their social status. The duo's views on politics are also reflected in tracks like "The Fascists" and "The Communists", where they take a critical stance on both political ideologies.
The album is a testament to the duo's distinct style and their ability to push boundaries. The spoken word pieces are accompanied by a minimalistic musical score, which adds to the overall mood of the album. The Thoughts Of Gilbert George is not just an album, but a work of art in itself, which showcases the duo's creativity and intellect.
