Free Music Review: THE MUST HAVE RECORDING FOR THIS DECADE
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved the Psychedelic Furs, but Richard Butler's solo work has stunned me. I have listened to it over and over for days, something that I haven't done in a long time. I can't tell you how good this album is. I just found this baby/jewel about 2 yrs after it came out. I am very critical, especially in these days when there are so many less than memorable artists coming and going like the wind, this commercial nothingness.
Richard, will you put another one out? The world needs it. I'm serious. This recording is beautiful, amazingly thought provoking. The words are witty and spun so delicately, so thoughtfully that I keep on quoting them to my wife every day as I take a break from my work. I'm a big fan of Ian McCullough and Echo & the Bunnymen. They have done some amazing work as they've matured, music as worthy as their first recordings. I think Richard Butler, and I dare say this, has done with this album what most critics and fans would have never imagined, to go beyond the legend of the Psychedelic Furs. I also did some research and found out that Jon Carin had played all the instruments and produced this amazing and timely piece of work. Jon, your production is, in my eyes, as wonderful as Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Rick Rubin. Your clipping the voice right before it comes in and end of the lines (California), or the looping of "the stars are out", the driving guitar coming in to bring California into 3rd gear, the pauses, just some timeless production that no one has done in this way. Organic, but modern, marrying Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Brian Eno and The Verve, Urban Hymns - probably two doses of Urban Hymns concerning organic measurements. Cool as $h!t.
You guys have put together an album that I will fondly listen to for years to come. In 25 years from now, I'll hear Satellites and I'll remember the way that my two year old boy was riding his bike around our house while I was singing at the top of my lungs coding web applications. I will remember these moments when I hear it 25 yrs from now, because you somehow branded these pieces in my mind, the same way that I remember those darker times in my life when I hear Sister Europe. That foggy and smokey voice so distinctly Richard Butler.
People - Check this album out. It is a masterpiece.
Richard Butler Poster
For his KOCH Records solo release, titled simply Richard Butler, Butler collaborated with Jon Carin, an accomplished musician who has worked with Pink Floyd, Pete Townshend and Bryan Ferry. The result is a collection of songs that's an incredible melding of Butler's incisive lyrics and signature voice awash in Carin's mysteriously captivating musical landscape. 2006.Released way back in 1980, the first record from the Psychedelic Furs was a blunt and beautiful thing. Its punk fascinations were subverted by solid musicianship and a lead singer whose sandpaper growl couldn't cover up the Bowie-esque sweetness in his tone. Through the '80s and '90s, as the Furs broke up and he re-emerged with Love Spit Love, Richard Butler kept that growl. But the sweetness was getting more prominent. Butler finally smoothes out entirely and becomes the crooner he always threatened to be here on his debut solo CD. Nearing 50, his voice sounds clean and easy as he opens the record with a deft falsetto over the soft, adult alternative bounce of "Good Days, Bad Days." The entire record is well-produced--maybe a little over-produced, even--but it's also cut with a disarming electronic edge; check out the digital spit-and-polish on Postal Service-lite tracks like "California." Butler's lyrics are dependably poetic and pessimistic, with lyrics like "I hate every second of this life long day" clouding up the otherwise sunny "Broken Aeroplanes." But even if Butler hasn't completely reinvented himself, he succeeds in surprising us and making us curious to see what he does next. --Matthew Cooke
