Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to translate their immensely popular theatrical stage show into a purely auditory experience, the Blue Man Group released 'Audio'[cite: 1]. The entirely instrumental album heavily relies on their custom-built PVC pipe instruments to construct highly complex, deeply hypnotic tribal rhythms and distinctly avant-garde experimental rock textures[cite: 1].

Genres
