Artful, nocturnal melancholy featuring the vocal stylings of Tim Bowness, who as far as I know hasn't stopped being sad since at least the early 90s. If you had told a 16-year-old me that I'd end up liking the same kind of sleekly produced, middle-aged sad sack music that my dad forced me to listen to in the car on the way to school, I probably would've quoted "Life Sentence" at you and skulked away to smoke cigarettes with my faux-hippie girlfriend and assure myself that I would never, ever be like my dad -- who, it turns out, was right all along.
Track listing:
1. A Night in Heaven
2. Song of Love and Everything Part I and II
3. Brightest Blue
4. Flame
5. Trash Talk
6. Time Flown
7. Torch Dance
8. Feel

I'll give this a go cuz I've seen Barbieri play with Porcupine Tree.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing post!
ReplyDeleteThanks You...
Barbieri needs to play with David Sylvian. That's what this reminds me of a bit.
ReplyDeleteTo the above commenter; I can't gauge whether or not you are aware that Barbieri played in Japan with Sylvian.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Chuck Josselyn, Steven Wilson might be the brain behind Porcupine Tree, but Barbieri really was their secret weapon.
I'm right there with you. Back when I listened to nothing but Minor Threat and Black Flag, I would have dismissed this type of music as MOR mush. I was wrong. This is a wonderful album.
ReplyDeleteBeen a fan of Richard Barbieri keyboard sound since Japan.
