Free Music Notes for Eternal The Best of Libera
Free Music Review: Good collection covering recent Libera recordings
Hit: 5 Stars
You can read the reviews of the original releases to learn why Libera has such a dedicated international following. The question is: is this collection right for you?
Material from the first two albums on the Warner label -- some of their best -- are sorely missing. But you can, and should, get these separately. The important tracks "Far Away" and "Going Home" from the "Angel Voices" CD are included, but most of the rest is cover material, not included. You get almost everything from the very recent landmark "New Dawn" album -- except for the inexplicable inclusion of the wobbly surfer tune "Love and Mercy" instead of the delightful "The Lamb." For the "Free" album, the six tracks hit the high points, but leave much missing - "Free" remains worth buying separately despite the heavy overlap. For the "Visions" album that took Asia by storm, the nicely done "New Day," and variant "Wings of a Dove" are missing; Sempiterna is remixed. Otherwise, coverage is remarkably complete.
Incurable Libera fans who have all of the other CD's probably will want "Eternal" for the new tracks, even though there is not much added value. Perhaps the best is an upgraded "Gaudete," revived from the "Luminosa" CD for an Aled Jones TV special. Of the remixes, "Sempiterna" from Visions takes a beating, with the polyrythms competing with the vocals. But "Heaven" (a cover of "A New Heaven" from the Free album) gets the remix concept right... so completely over the edge that it has nothing to do but spread its wings and fly. I'd like to see this concept taken to a full album... soar or crash. If the classical fuddys don't like it, they've already got "Angel Voices" so what's their problem?
Despite the misleading subtitle, "Eternal" is primarily a selective reissue of the last two major CD releases. General recommendation: if seriously collecting Libera recordings, concentrate on the five major albums and the concert album first. But if you are looking for a gift set, or decent coverage of recent material at a bargain price, this could be exactly what you want.
Eternal The Best of Libera Poster
2008 double CD anthology from the British boy choir vocal group. Eternal contains 26 Libera favorites drawn from earlier releases, as well as four brand new tracks: 'Mother of God', 'Gaudete', 'You Were There' and 'How Can I Keep From Singing?'. This collection also features two remixed songs previously only available as digital downloads and released here for the first time on CD. Libera enjoyed a busy 2007-2008 season: they made highly successful tours to Japan, Korea and the U.S. and took part in high profile events including the Kennedy Center Honors before a star-studded audience of politicians and celebrities.
