Excellent Introduction to a great singer songwriter,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astronauts (Audio CD)
This CD will have you saying, who is Stephen Duffy and why have I not heard of him before? Stephan Duffy is the singer and songwriter behind the Lilac Time. This disk is the Lilac Time's 4th with number 5 due in April 1999. If you have not heard of him you will definitely want more after hearing this disk. Stephan's voice is silky smooth, moody and very crisp. The vocal arrangements and harmonies on this disk are second to none, kicking off with In Iverna Gardens which will hook you immediately and never let you go. My favorite cut is The whisper of your mind which is pure Duffy. What makes this disk so special is how stephan's voice is so intertwined with the music, it is seamless and near flawless. However you will wonder why a song like Dreaming is on this disk, it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the tracks, though not a bad track. After this track the disk just keeps getting better and better and ends with the haunting Madresfield. You will have this disk in your machine for a long time and will know that you've been introduced to one of the most understated English singer/ songwriters of his time. This one's a gem and will have you searching for all of the Lilac Time's disks and Stephans Solo work.

astronauts - a sentimental journey,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astronauts (Audio CD)
An album where the heart strings are pulled in several directions leaving one quivering at the thoughts generated from the soundscapes provided by messrs.Duffy and co. Heartfelt and warm the musical output will leave the listener perplexed and meandering back to previous relationships in a time where there were no stresses and strains of everyday life. The definitive summer album to be played while lying by a riverbank with the world drifting by.
5.0 out of 5 stars
LIFE WITHOUT THIS CD ISN'T WORTH LIVING !,
By Seattle Beard (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Astronauts (Audio CD)
Stephen Duffy is a genius. This is his best work.MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE IMPORT VERSION THAT HAS THE BONUS TRACKS. They are truly worth the extra money. I actually own two copies, just in case something should happen to one. Yeah, it's that good! :) |
