AUDIO was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
For years before the release of their debut CD AUDIO, the Blue Man Group has been dazzling audiences with theatrical performances that heavily feature their unique music. Onstage, the trio (augmented by additional instrumentalists) plays a percussive, almost tribal brand of instrumental music that involves both ancient instruments such as the cimbalom, and Blue Man-invented items including the Drumbone and the Drum Wall. With a combination of Ennio Morricone-ish guitar lines, overwhelming percussive thumping, and a combination of acoustic, electric, and electronic sonic elements, the music of the Blue Man Group suggests some alternative universe where pop as we know it has a slightly skewed character.
