Description
At the Twilight’s Last Gleaming is a two-track cassette tape by the American singer and songwriter Stephen Pietraszek, released on Recovery Records in 1991. Featuring musicians such as Tonio K and David Mansfield of Alpha Band fame.
Interesting two track tape – a long list of players (including Tonio K) and extensive linear notes with many quotes from all kinds of thinkers and writers. All of that for two songs? Well, two very excellent songs. I am assuming that Stephen is the singer – he is credit as songwriter and also for multiple jobs on the recording side… But not listed as doing anything. Guess it was assumed? The first song starts off with a bunch of chanting and samples, making you wonder if this will be a spoken word or experimental album, but soon the music kicks in. I would say that Tonio K is a good musical comparison as well. Not that he sounds like Tonio K, but Stephen’s music is quirky guitar-based rock that leans towards the alternative side of things more than the rock side, but is catchy enough that some people label it pop. Overall, a well put together album – but for all of the effort put into the two songs, I can’t find any information about it online. [Christian Tape Underground, March 9, 2018]
