5.0 out of 5 stars
2nd disc of demos by Love's Bryan MacLean,
By
This review is from: Candy's Waltz (Audio CD)
This is a strange release (2 of 2) that won't immediately ensnare you, especially if you are expecting Forever Changes. My initial reaction to hearing the disc was negative. It's raw. The vocals are a little wonky at times. What made Love great is there, though. There is complexity to the songwriting process. After giving the disc some time, you know why Arthur Lee worked with this guy. You can certainly hear the show tunes and jazz influence that shows up in songs like Orange Skies and Alone Again Or. The changes are odd. Bryan Maclean was unique. I don't play the Maclean demo cds (there are 2 on Sundazed) all of the time, but when I pull them out every once in a while, take a deep breath and really listen, the rough songs are real gems. Interesting for songwriters and Love fans.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Bryan Maclean - Love era demos and live trax, interview,
By Joseph Morris "Joe Morris" (Elmwood Park, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Candy's Waltz (MP3 Download)
Candy's Waltz is interesting. The odd song left off FChanges (Love will be here)
This is the second Sundazed release of Bryans solo stuff - his first release posthumously (Praise & Worship came out afterwards) The songs are okay, though I tend to enjoy the earlier ifyoubelievein set, and I advise new Bryan solo fans to start there The last track is a radio interview, which is a lot of fun. Nice to hear the man after all this time Hip Hip Hooray is the dumb song on the set (on ifyoubelievein dumb song out was People - Bryan had earlier called it the Dumbbell song) I'm assuming most of the people reading this have heard the early albums that Bryan was on with Love. If not, pick up Forever Changes IMMEDIATELY. Bryan has a couple really good songs on that, and contributes excellent acoustic guitar to that album as well Unfortunately there are no Love demos on this album (like the earlier ifyoubelievein). Kathleen is the only repeat from the earlier solo album (here its played live) The liner notes are wonderful (hey! its Sundazed! what do you expect!) If you like this album, investigate the 2cd Praise and Worship, and of course ifyoubelievein. Unfortunately, Arthur Lee's solo albums (Vindicator, Arthur Lee) are not as good as any of Bryans solo album, although he did carry on Love after Bryan. Four Sail is probably the best of a patchy lot (FS is the last album Love cut for Elektra) Taster tracks: If you could be here, Claudine's Samba
