Successful start of a mammoth project

"In the mud it began." This is the beginning of a mammoth project, which has probably already found its place in the small fine history of the radio play. Right at the beginning of the audience is also without to have only the chance of a peaceful entry drawn into the vortex of confusing events. The opening scene in the theater of war - between bomb explosions and people screaming - chasing a first shiver down the spine and can already imagine what will expect. Certainly not an easy conversation, for the narrative structure of Otherland with its different storylines interwoven far too complex.
But the makers - certainly above all the director Walter Adler - has succeeded in an almost unimaginable masterful way to deal with these levels of activity between virtual space and reality by a clever devised separation by different speakers. The whole is certainly something difficult to understand on first hearing without knowing the Williams-books and here it is really worth it once the entire first part (! Followed by three more!) To listen repeatedly. Nevertheless, it creates the partially really as outstanding praiseworthy atmospheric design of the different scenarios (I think for example to the famous "random jumps" from Reenie, or the wild action in the "Treehouse") in conjunction to areas with the equally laudable Tell services spokesman for the confusion stop to find and the common thread in the story again and again. At an extra praise goes to all speakers participating, with me especially Sophie Rois has absolutely thrilled as Reenie.
In connection especially with the Sinclair 2000 SE-2, the Impaler, the discussion about quantity claims came on. This must be to an audio book, which has been dubbed as certainly one of the largest project of the radio play story often enough make in this regard also. But unlike the Impaler stock response of this mammoth project with its many high-profile speakers and an incredible effort, but keeps the quantitative announcements stand high. And that's what makes Otherland to an unconditional must have. I use that word often enough, but anyone who has done a bit concerned with radio plays, which Otherland must not be missed easily. If there were five points with asterisks, then it would be appropriate here. Kudos to everyone involved and I look forward to the blue rivers.
