3.0 out of 5 stars Not only for completists, January 25, 2000

By 

Chris Dunn (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sun Mountain (Audio CD)

Sun Mountain contains a selection of demo versions of classic Dan tracks such as Barrytown and Caves of Altamira as well as little known songs which didn't make it onto the official studio albums. Some of the sound is rough but in certain tracks this actually adds to the appeal. To hear Becker and Fagan talking in the background and passing comments is quite enlightening. The most effective tracks are played solo by Fagan on piano. Barrytown is a prime example. His melancholy vocal style draws out the emotion of the song and the simple backing helps you concentrate on the words. Altogether a flawed album but one in which small nuggets of gold can be found. Borrow it before buying.

They must have found these old recordings outtakes someone made with a $35 casette recorder and decided to make some money. The sound quality is horrible and the singing is off key. It sounds like someone recorded it over the phone. There isn't one redeeming thing about this CD. Complete waste of money.

Whatever. No accounting for tastes. I find it superb. Never noted the background dialog referred by others. Agreed that piano is some of the best parts Umm - well is mostly vocals and piano w/ and occasional guitar - not the usual ultra studio produced and refined Dan.
