A great look at a story that has not been frequently told about September 11th. The feature allows the interviews to set the
entire pace of the program. Without narration, except to identify
the speakers, each speaker flows naturally into the next.
The descriptions vividly portray the scenes as they unfolded. While Most of the listeners have never been in the Pentagon, we are brought into that massive stucture during a day never to be forgotten. And it is a tour that we hope never to have to again take.
As I began listening to "A Shortcut back--9/11--The 5th Anniversary Remix," I thought that the music bed was overpowering the thoughts expressed by the interviews. As it progress, I realized that the music was playing a valuable role in setting the mood for the program. The bed was the lighting for the short stories that came from many different parts of the stage on that day.
It contained a well-balanced approach to those interviewed and displayed the positive outlook of the citizens of not onlyl America, but other countries as well.
As the program progress, the listener is pulled deeper into the evolving story. One listens to the music cuts and reflects on what those interviewed have said, while at the same time personally reflecting the events of 9/11 while simultaneously contemplated the future.
An excellent look at a tragic day from the view of those living so close to the world trade center. It reflects how neighbors grew close through suffering the events of 9/11.
Good use of minimal music; when used it captured the sobriety of the thoughts.
