Budding Blooms, Fulfilled Flowers, Water, Breath, & More, May 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Scream of Conciousness (Audio CD)
SCREAM is a tour-de-force through another wing of the mansion of Colleen Coadic's ever-seeking mind. The overall sound is quite different from that of ToDaY, with continuity in the intimacy and scope of her powerful exploration of what it is to live, seek, and grow as a spiritual being in human form. SCREAM is a jewel of promise fulfilled. Colleen's voice is transcendent--it flows through guileless folky melody, lusty purring funk-filled growl, and full-throated diva scream. The power and flexibility of Colleen's unparalleled vocalizations are mixed front-and-center on this album. One cannot listen to SCREAM and escape the realization of having borne aural witness to one of the great voices of all time. Another unique aspect to SCREAM is the presence of Colleen's band, The Next Twelve. I was pleased to discover that Colleen has found musicians equal to the task of playing on her elevated field. (Bassist Sean Cobb's playing is so tight, and so deep in the pocket that I'd like to ask him what the lint looks like.) My only regret regarding this album is that it is a clear harbinger of the day when it will not be possible to see Colleen in a club setting--it'll be the Fleet Center, or the Worcester Centrum soon! And I guess, as regrets go, that one's not so bad. My recommendation? Buy this CD, and buy ToDaY. They're fabulous!!! And then you'll be able to say, "Oh yeah. Colleen Coadic? I've been listening to her since her indie days." --Alice p.s. there's newsgroup about Colleen's music at sixdegress.com

Scream of Consciousness PLEASE, June 9, 1999

Well, I thought "ToDaY" was perfect, but enter "Scream of Consciousness." Coadic topped herself with a heaping of lush musical landscapes and beautifully crafted poetry. I recommend this album highly. She just keeps getting better and better, and now she has a full band backing her up. It makes the songs sound incredible. WOW!!!!!!!!
