Free Music Notes for Amplified Heart
Free Music Review: Classic, perfect, honest, beautiful.
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD continues to find its way onto the "play" stack. Truth be told, it rarely returns to the rack at home. It's in the rotation in the car, at work, at home, on the mp3 player, etc. As many others have said, what makes this work SO good is the emotional honesty on display. The words ring true, not just some words that rhyme or fit a measure.
Over the last 10 years, I've had many memorable experiences, some good, some heartbreaking. I always found myself listening to this CD at some point afterwards, and it was always "right". It speaks to the heart, it is joyful, sad, poignant...
Beyond the emotion, it is beautifully recorded, the instuments, while often spare, complement the songs perfectly, the harmonies are gorgeous, and Tracy Thorne has one of the most distinct, fluid, lovely voices in music.
I generally hate the reviews where people tell how many CD's they have or how many songs are on their iPod, but it's difficult for me to give this recording too much praise. So, I will say that, yes, I have hundreds of CD's, ranging in style from Dr Dre to Kula Shaker to Sinatra to Hedfunk to GnR to Ornette Coleman. Amplified Heart would have to go on my All-Time Top 10 Desert Island list, right up there with The Joshua Tree and Kind of Blue. It is simply superb.
Amplified Heart Poster
Amplified Heart marked a number of changes in Everything but the Girl's career, the most obvious of which was their sudden popularity when a Todd Terry remix of "Missing" became a dance-floor hit. But before the album was even recorded, Ben Watt--who with Tracy Thorn is EBTG--was hospitalized for a life-threatening intestinal disorder (see his book, Patient: The True Story of a Rare Illness, for a full account). His recovery invigorates Amplified Heart, making the love songs that much more passionate, the relationship songs that much more tender, and "25th December"--the one song in which Watt sings lead--that much more heartbreaking. Thorn's captivating vocals are the focus on the rest of the album, and she's as smooth as ever; combined with the focus that she and Watt share here, it makes for EBTG's best album. --Randy SilverMired in an easy-listening rut since Baby, The Stars Shine Bright (1986), Everything But the Girl's return to self-production is a plus and might account for "Amplified Heart" being their most striking and listenable album in eons. --Jeff Bateman
