Hit: 5 Stars
When I first saw this CD in the store I saw a lot of songs I already had and thought it may not be worth getting. Then, when I was hungry for new David Gray music to hear I examined the album closer and found gems I couldn't find anywhere else. Songs like "The Rice","Brick Walls" and "4:AM" that show a different creative, quirky side of Grays songwriting. I was also pleasently surprised that the previously released songs had a different sound to them. Some like "The Light" have a dramaticly different sound entirely from the original release while others like "Birds Without Wings" have a much crisper, sharper and powerful sound compaired to the originals. The guitar sounds much more effective in this take. In my opinion the only thing stopping lovers of great music from getting this and all of David Grays CD's is the fact that store/sites don't explain enough all thats in store for the listener/buyer. I hope this helped:)
The EP's 92-94 Poster
One of the nicer things about David Gray becoming successful--which he very much has on the heels of White Ladder's much-deserved platinum sales--is the sudden availability of his older work. Much of the material on The EP's 92-94 was unjustly ignored outside the UK upon its release, despite certain influential admirers--Joan Baez, after hearing his 1992 debut, A Century Ends, proclaimed him "the best lyricist since Dylan." While that might be a bit much, The EP's, taken from singles and B-sides off Century and 1994's Flesh, expertly captures both the intensity and the schmaltz-free poignancy of Gray's music. Kicking off with the stunning "Birds Without Wings," and moving through now-familiar tunes (from Gray's frequent touring) like "Shine," Gray's distinctive vocal style is in full bloom as he chews and spits out vowels like watermelon seeds. Like most of his work pre-Ladder, Gray's approach here is sparser, often featuring only voice and guitar, and even more akin to the naked poetry of folk soulmates like Van Morrison. There are exceptions, as the up-tempo rocker "Wisdom" could easily fit on White Ladder if its earthy drum sound was leavened with a little more of that record's subtle electronica. Regardless of his arrangements, Gray can always be counted on to avoid easy sentimentality while still rending hearts and reaching for universality. (This enhanced CD also contains videos of "Shine" and "Wisdom".) --Matthew CookeA collection of early recordings by this deservedly much hyped British singer/ songwriter who broke in the U.S. recently with the smash hit Babylon. This compilation contains 10 tracks he cut for Hut Records that the label originally released on various EPs between 1992 and 1994. This new U.S. edition has newly written liner notes from David Gray and well as 2 enhanced videos - Shine & Wisdom.
