The Crack in the Bell is a collection of five of Lentz's pieces which concentrate on his writing for voices, synthesizers, and, on the title piece, orchestra; no rubbed wineglasses to be found here. They walk a fine line between genuine, exuberant effervescence and a slightly heavy-handed earnestness. "The Crack in the Bell" uses the e.e. cummings poem of the same name for some lilting vocalese by Jessica Lowe over burbling synthesizers and an orchestra conducted by John Harbison, whose work this somewhat resembles in its cheery evocation of Americana.
It almost gets funky but is a little too squeaky clean for that. "Wild Turkeys," a synthesizer trio, is one of Lentz's most enjoyable works, coming more out of Reich than the usual Glass and containing a wealth of overlapping rhythms and melodic lines, much more maximalist than minimalist at heart. "The Dream King" (using text from Martin Luther King, Jr.) and "Lullaby" both fall into pastel shades that are uncomfortably close to new age music, pleasant but unmemorable. "Adieu" uses intentionally clichéd lines from stale pop music and attempts to invest them with a more foreboding sense. Lentz can't help but write buoyant music, however, so the piece remains as light, enjoyable, and insubstantial as cotton candy.
