Free Music Review: His best work
Hit: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Van album. It really is a secret gem of his extraordinary discography. You will not be disappointed if you buy this album.Free Music Review: Beautiful Sound
Hit: 5 Stars
This is by far my favorite Van Morrison album. Bluesy, jazzy, soulful. It's Van Morrison at his best. Put it on, pour a glass or wine. Enjoyed in solitude or in the company of another, this music will ignite your senses, your breath, your heart, and remind you why you are glad to be alive. Believe it. It's magic.Free Music Review: Jazzy and atmospheric
Hit: 5 Stars
The instrumental Spanish Steps is the languid jazzy introduction to this album of understated songs. The album takes it name from a line in Queen Of The Slipstream, a gentle ballad with a haunting melody. I Forgot That Love Existed is another jazzy number with gorgeous instrumental flourishes, whilst Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child has more of a soul or R&B feel in its yearning vocals and has something of the same effect as Blind Faith's Can't Find My Way Home.
Celtic Excavation is an ethereal and evocative instrumental with tinkling piano and a lovely lilting flow and Someone Like You is a slow and moving love song. My favourites include the bouncy Alan Watts Blues with its twanging guitar and the rhythmic uptempo Give Me My Rapture, a catchy inspirational song with great organ flourishes.
The piece Did Ye Get Healed? has swirling female backing vocals and the album concludes with another jazzy instrumental titled Allow Me. The album is quite cohesive in creating a mood of contented contemplation with Morrison's characteristic spiritual undertone. It is probably not considered to be amongst his greatest work, but still a classic in my opinion.
Free Music Review: A must-have for Van Fans
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my three favorite Van Morrison albums, the others being "No Guru" and "Moondance". This is one that even non-fans will love. Beautiful instrumentals, love songs, songs of spiritual longings. The best from the best.Free Music Review: A classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This and "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher" are my personal favorites out of Van Morrison's many albums. The instrumentals are among his best efforts in the jazz vein, the Black spiritual "Motherless Child" is done with great depth of feeling, and the other songs run the emotional gamut from the cheery "Give Me My Rapture" to the deeply touching "I Forgot That Love Existed." This album shows off Morrison at his best, and I still listen to it often.
