5.0 out of 5 stars A near-perfect CD with super vocals, beats, and arrangements, November 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Conscience (Audio CD)

I first discovered The Beloved with the release of this album. In the summer of '93 I used to hear "Sweet Harmony" every morning on my drive into work, and I was hooked. I later bought their first album (Happiness) and their latest (X) when it was released. This is the album to start with if you're interested in The Beloved. The songs on this album are mellow, beautiful, and very danceable. Grooves that reach out and pull you in combined with flawless musical arrangements make this album a must have. As a whole, the album only has one subpar track out of eleven. "Paradise Found" is a bit boring at over 7 minutes. But the rest of this album is amazing. My favorite tracks (believe me, it's difficult to pick) are "Spirit," the aforementioned "Sweet Harmony," "Outerspace Girl," and "Dream On." But, like I said, the rest of this album is amazing as well. Jon Marsh's lead vocals make the music seem even more soothing. "Let The Music Take You" is the title of one of the tracks and it's good advice for those who buy this album. The mood of it is very relaxing and free. It's a beautiful album that gives you a great feeling when you listen to it, so let it pull you in and put you in a good mood. Consisting of Jon Marsh, his wife Helena, and on this album a host of other musicians, the Beloved are the best group nobody has ever heard of. This is a meticulously crafted album. I currently own over 350 discs and this one makes my top five. Need I say more?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Beloved's Conscience, July 1, 2005

This review is from: Conscience (Audio CD)

For the Beloved's 1993 album, "Conscience," group frontman Jon Marsh parted ways with musical partner Steve Waddington, and taking Waddington's place was Jon Marsh's wife, Helena, who co-wrote all of the songs with Marsh, and co-produced the album as well (though she doesn't play or sing on it). With the aid of some session musicians & backing vocalists, "Conscience" finds the Beloved turning up the heat a few decibels---this is a very sultry, erotic synth-pop album that will surely get you and your significant other "in the mood," with Marsh's breathy lead vocals the perfect compliment to the music. My favorite tracks include the sexy "Sweet Harmony," the galactic atmospheres of "Outerspace Girl," Marsh tempting his lover with "Lose Yourself In Me," the graceful "You've Got Me Thinking," and the dreamscapes of "Celebrate Your Life" and "1000 Years From Today." Only the seven-minute track, the mostly-instrumental "Paradise Found," drags on a bit (if you know my reviews, you know I like long songs just fine, but "Paradise Found" could've used a little bit of editing, I think). But other than that, the Beloved's "Conscience" is, in a word, heavenly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great album!, January 15, 2000

My two favorite songs on this album are "Sweet Harmony" & "Dream On", I originally had this on a single then had to by the cd & it's great. I would recommend this album to anyone. The music is dream like & the lyrics are flowing. I just wish that this band was more popular in the US. Unfortunately really great music always gets passed over for what's popular.
