maxgate Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 This is a bloated album, an unexpected loss of form. The lyrics are direct but not with the memorability that directness often confers. Some songs are disastrous overstatements ('Drawing the Line', 'The Incident', 'Your Unpleasant Family'), while others squander their promise ('Time Flies') by refusing to eschew the verse/chorus formula that is the curse of popular music. But there is one triumph: 'Octane Twisted'. It feels like a consolation prize - a cheat - rather than a consolation. Time to regroup.

RedRobe Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Clemens non Papa: Missa pro defunctis (Brabant Ensemble ) Back in October Maxgate had a wee rave about this album and last week I finally got around to ordering it from Marbecks. Last night, after a day toiling in the garden, I sat down with a glass of Leffe in hand and let the Brabant Ensemble transport me to a world of bliss. Wonderful!

We live at a time when delight is often constrained by irony, when belief is declared either stridently or apologetically, when 'soul' summons images of velvet caps and flared suits... So to hear the Brabant Ensemble sing 'Heu Mihi, Domine' is to recover delight, dispense with irony, reject stridency, and find confidence in the notion of the soul as essential to being human. Glorious, if illusory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven11553552760 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice selection maxgate. Here is mine, TV was crap as usual, so it was stereo time.
