5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy, Smoky....a great listening experience, July 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tragic Magic (Audio CD)

For those that haven't heard of this band and like women singers like Fiona Apple or Heather Nova, this group has a pinache that makes their sound one of the best on the market, yet one of the ones common folk won't hear about. Mary Lorson has quite a voice, and the notes she can reach will rival that of any other woman you've heard. The first track "My Star" has this mysterious sounding percussion and, coupled with Mary's voice, will hook you for the rest of the disc. All of the music is quite mellow and laid back, very well played and well sung. An album everyone should own!

As I type this review, Tragic Magic can be had used through Amazon for only 1 cent. That's a pretty amazing deal, considering what a great album it is. Madder Rose was one of the most criminally under-appreciated bands of the 1990s, and this may be their best album. On Tragic Magic, Madder Rose added elements of trip-hop to their already great indie pop sound. Lots of bands stumbled when they tried to do that, but here, it works magically. Highlights include "(She's A) Satellite" and "Hung Up In You."
