Editorial Reviews

Tony Visconti, producer, T.Rex, David Bowie...

"The CD is superb. Marc Bolan would have loved it, I assure you. I think the concept, the arranging and the performance from all the musicians are beyond what anyone imagined. It is a work of the highest caliber. Robert Lafond is a master. Catherine Lambert has the most beautiful and haunting voice for this project. You have done the greatest service possible to the memory of Marc Bolan. This is a masterpiece."


Product Description

The ultimate tribute to poet, singer, songwriter, rock legend Marc Bolan (T.Rex). This CD is a wonderful blend of baroque stylings and some of Marc Bolan's songs from the early Tyrannosaurus Rex albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beltane " What a Tribute ", March 17, 2000
By A Customer
This Musical Tribute to Marc is nothing but encredible , Catherine Lambert and the Ensemble have created a magical tribute to his music . The sound is a blend of Middle Ages and Celtic capturing what Marc was writing about in the unfinished " Rarne Suite " , the songs from this unfinished work and early Tyrannasaurus Rex ,are a fitting tribute to Marc and proves he was not just the " King of Glam " but a serious composer Catherine and the rest of the musicians a BIG THANKYOU

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful !, June 22, 1999
By A Customer
I think it's absolutely wonderful. It has certain indoors/outdoors feeling depending on the orchestration of each song. The organ based tracks have a slightly cold daytime indoors feeling to them as if one was inside a church. Whereas the guitar, recorders cello based songs have a warm nature like nocturnal outdoors feeling. The latter in line with the enchanting illustration (Spirit of the Night). One can almost smell the perfumes from the flowers and leaves on a summer night. These tracks remind me of classical composers such as Villa-Lobos (Bachianas Brasileiras) and Rodriguo. Sparkled with Catherine Lamberts angelic voice, it's all down to a Midsummer Night's Scene. More, more ! Linda

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Weird, February 7, 2003
By M. Filipowicz (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sounds like a Renaissance band playing T-Rex. I bought this record and it's definitely something you have to hear, just out of curiousity, but I'm not sure if I'll ever listen to it again.

Okay, some time has passed, and I have listened to it again. In fact, I really like it. Her voice is beautiful and so is the music. It just takes some getting used to. When I listen to this, it's usually in the last hour or two before I go to sleep. It's great to wind down with.
