Free Music Notes for Enlightenment Album
Free Music Review: Introspection, retrospection and his musical heroes
Hit: 4 Stars
Dominated by tasteful horn and string arrangements, this appealing album was Morrison's first great achievement of the 1990s. It has now been enhanced by the addition of a second version of the title track and So Quiet in Here. Van as Fan comes to the fore on the great 9 minute track In The Days Before Rock n Roll, an intelligent & absorbing reflection on his musical heroes.
There is plenty of modal & tempo variation. The tuneful Real Real Gone is catchy & rhythmic, the tender gospel song See Me Through is a stirring highlight whilst the exuberant Youth Of a 1000 Summers, a serenade to the "sweet bird of youth" is another true gem.
The music is accessible and melodious with definite pop appeal. Morrison pays tribute to his influences, many of which were American soul singers. Enlightenment is a soothing & introspective album where tasteful excursions into jazzy realms add a special touch.
