Review of Reconstructing Providence: Adaptive Reuse, Urban Revitalizat


A news-y topic that's not treated by one. The score is wonderful but at times abruptly comes in or cuts off. Other than that I like this quite a bit. Another crappy story about artists working to build a community and a city tearing it down in a fit of greed. Plenty of Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt) standing up in community meetings to deplore the rising costs of these new Providence art spaces. More than any producer I've heard in a while, Robin talks to the listener in a conversational tone that doesn't sound canned, just telling a story -- she's learned how to write for her voice. Highly recommended.
