Leicester Bangs Review (2011):,
By Leicester Bangs "words-R-us" (Leicester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Around the World (MP3 Download)
Ike Moriz - All Around The World (Mosquito Records London)
With the exception of this year's "Breathing Dreams" Ike Moriz' recent album releases have been easy listening affairs, as he's made a name for himself as a gifted interpreter of the Great American Songbook. 2007's "All Around The World" appears to be a precursor to "Breathing Dreams" and showcases Moriz' songwriting is a contemporary setting, and incidentally betrays a welcome appreciation of British pop and rock from the `70s to now. Bowie, Suede, Felt and Neil Hannon emerge as influences, though Moriz is very much his own man and his songs (and tunes) stand up to comparison. It helps considerably that he has a voice that sounds like no-one else, and there's a sophistication to the recording which strips away any hint of indie budgetary constraints. Moriz sounds like a star and "All Around The World" drips pop glam. The album begins with "Whereof One Cannot Speak", written by guitarist Jim Barnes (The Darkness), it sets the scene with a planet-worrying bass rhythm, an ambitious arrangement and a lyric that mentions Sartre. "All Your Heroes Are Dead" is much subtler and spacier, though just as grand, and features a hook that in a fair world would guarantee abundant daytime radio play. "Killing Games" repeats the trick and "Anything You Want" confirms Moriz' ear for a classic melody. A top album, and thoroughly recommended to those who enjoy huge pop arrangements and songs with giant gold hooks.

A fresh breeze of glorious British Rock/Pop Glam. The best thing since Suede & Bowie!!,
This review is from: All Around the World (Audio CD)
Glorious British Rock/Pop Glam. The best thing since Suede & Bowie!!I've been browsing the net trying to find something new, something different that you don't hear on the radio. I was absolutely amazed when I first found this collection of original, melodic, unique and grand indie rock. It's not often that I get this feeling about music from the '00s.. Finally, songs with the lyrics and music that create a piece of art worthy of radio play. I hear that Moriz is big in South Africa with a big catalogue of albums to explore - well, he should be even bigger in Europe, and I cannot wait to continue my journey of exploring Moriz's CDs... I'm very grateful for this fresh breeze from the Cape of Good Hope. It feels like sunnier times ahead for us now!!! Highly recommended!!
