5.0 out of 5 stars Graham Greene in a Dance of Exposure and Camouflage, November 19, 2001

This review is from: This Is How It Feels (Audio CD)

As a previous reviewer, upon first listen, a friend's copy of this CD never left my car CD player for weeks. The grouping of Lori Carson's seductive voice and great beats relentlessly grabbed my attention. I found myself replaying poignant lyrics, reciting them in my head joyously, relishing not only the words, but especially Carson's delivery. Unfortunately, I returned the CD and did not purchase my own copy, allowing the music to blend into the mess of my subconscious.

A year later, in great serendipity, while viewing Neil Jordan's production of "The End of the Affair," little snippets of dialogue caught my ear!

The Golden Palominos!

Much of "To A Stranger" is recitation of beautiful Graham Green dialogue from "The End of the Affair." The Golden Palominos have taken these amazing words delivered by Lori Carson; matched them with equally emotive music to evoke the very essence of the exceptional novels love affair.

If you are a fan of Graham Greene or music that simply won't leave your subconscious, check this disc out.

5.0 out of 5 stars why I love this cd, August 23, 2000

I first heard a copy of this album while riding along for some roadtrip somewhere...that voice, that incredibly seductive voice, conveying so many emotions...this cd stayed in the cd player for weeks(much to the dismay of my friend who owned the cd). This album instantly went to my list of personal favorites. I love this disc. Wonderful music, powerful voice, such emotion and feeling...buying it for myself finally...two copies in the same apartment...only Radiohead and Spain have garnered such honors. Serve yourself well...listen to this cd (over, and over and over, etc.).

5.0 out of 5 stars why on earth did i put off buying this cd for ten years?, September 25, 2004

This review is from: This Is How It Feels (Audio CD)

i remember when this album came out - i liked and even baught the singles, but i didnt buy the album. i recently scored a copy and instantly rememebred why i liked the singles so much. this is probably the best golden palominos album (and if you like this kind of palominos, be sure you also buy "pure".

stand out songs on this album for me include "sleepwalk", "these days", and "twist the knife". angrier yet very cool songs that are always worth a hum along would definently include "prison of the rhythm", and probably "a divine kiss".

good songs, great lyrics, fantastic beats/drums, artful guitars. this album is worth buying on any level you can think of. go get it!
