Free Music Notes for Acoustic
Free Music Review: Heartachingly beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
As the title suggests, "Acoustic" is a stripped down collection of songs by Everything But The Girl. The first five songs are covers, the last six are originals--all of them are heartachingly beautiful. The sparse musical arrangements and understated vocals, including some bittersweet harmonies, allow the emotional poignancy of the songs to stand out. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. This CD is a pure gem. Highly recommended.
Acoustic Poster
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Teichiku. 2008.Though they've worked with plenty of accompaniment, the heart of Everything but the Girl's music has always been simple: a voice (usually Tracy Thorn's), a simple melody, and enough emotion to keep Kleenex in business for decades. On Acoustic, Thorn and Ben Watt strip things down to the bone, and the starkness makes the music even more affecting than usual. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the material they've chosen to work with is pretty affecting to begin with. The five covers are fantastic (Mickey and Sylvia's "Love Is Strange," Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest," Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," Elvis Costello's "Allison," and Tom Waits's "Downtown Train"), but the five originals, all of which appear on other EBTG albums, hold their own; and three of them--"Driving," "Apron Strings," and "Me and Bobby D"--do much more that that. --Randy Silver
Taking the unplugged route, this duo is a contemplative mood that will please fans alienated by the overproduced blue-eyed soul they've turned in on earlier releases. Here they augment an EP's worth of contemporary standards ("Time After Time. and "Alison., included) with spartan versions of their own superb originals. ".Easy listening with an edge. --Jeff Bateman
