5.0 out of 5 stars Great music - Almost like an Australian Jewel, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Labour of Love (Audio CD)

This music is really incredible. The lead singer will remind you a lot of the soft-spoken Jewel but there is something so compelling about her style and accent that it really keeps you coming back for more. Really, believe me, try this album.

I first heard and liked Frente when radio JJJ began playing "Labour Of Love" in 1991. A friend of mine was friends with guitarist Simon Austin and asked me to come and see Frente play at The Sando in Newtown, Sydney - very low key, only about 20 or 30 people in the place, no stage, the band just set up next to the bar on the pub's carpeted floor, but we were treated to such delightful musicianship which I'd never before heard or seen. I mean, these guys played the recorder?!? I was instantly a convert to Angie Hart's little girl-ish reflections and Austin's plucky acoustic guitar, and so I bought Frente's then little-known "Whirled" EP. The rest is "history" as they say, they went from those humble beginnings to become huge. The release on sale here, the "Labour Of Love EP", is a hotch-potch collection of some tracks taken from their various Australian-release EPs. Sources are the original "Whirled" EP of 1991 [Labour of Love, Testimony, Risk, Oh Brilliance], combined with later inclusions from the "Clunk" EP of 1992 [Paper Bullets & Walls] and the "Lonely" EP of 1994 [Bizarre Love Triangle, Not Given Lightly]. The spatial beauty of Frente's music is gratifyingly collected in this mini-compilation. Any Frente fan will love it. Those new to Frente could start here.

I love this CD! Angie Hart's voice makes every word sound more beautiful than it ever has before. This is a CD that you can never get sick of...It sounds as great as it did the first time I listened to it.
