Tracks include 'Persuasion' co-written by Richard Thompson and 'In Love With It All' written with his brother Neil. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Personal Fave, May 11, 2002

By	Behind Camera "behindthecamera" (Elmira, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Earth Inferno (Audio CD)

I picked this up after reading an interview with Tim Finn where the reviewer indicated this disc was in regular rotation in his CD player.

Well, there was a time when I thought I might wear the thing down to a transparent nub. This is a smart, catchy, irresistible recording. "Persuasion" and "In Your Sway" are personal faves, but there isn't a weak cut on this disc, and you can't say that about too many of 'em.

Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Musical, Spritual Experience like no other.., November 18, 1999

By	Ryan ([e-mail]) (U.K) - See all my reviews

Don't Listen to the first review, he's approaching it from the wrong side. The music is not full of cliche's.. Thats just It! McCoy is the Genuine thing.. Influences are drawn from Occult/Literate sources, IE. Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Peter Caroll, Shakespear, Milton, Zoroastrianism etc.. You name it he's read it. Which gives us a deeply poetic outcome. As for the music, it's all very atmospheric, (Andy Jackson (Pink Floyd) Produced it). The Music has a rock element but with an Classical (maybe I dont know what I'm talking about here) arrangement. This is not for the faint hearted. The music is very dark and spiritual, and you will never find anything else as authentic as it in the World. The Fields are an experience not just a Band. If you get the chance to see them live go.. This is the best produced live album I have ever heard. If you want a culture shock, or are open minded get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elyzium with more emotion. Their best official release., January 14, 1999

By A Customer

For any goths who have asked themselves "who is the best goth band, Sisters of Mercy or bauhaus?", you've never heard Fields of the Nephilim, the most musically unchallenged goth band to date. Please give them a listen, and when you do, "Earth Inferno" is the CD to introduce one to them.

NOTES: "Earth Inferno" is composed of the first half of "Elizium"(Fields of the Nephilim's 3rd and final album. "Earth Inferno" is a live concert recorded at the end of their original formation.)The second half of the album is a collection of their epic songs (averaging 8-10 min. each) consisting of Last Exit for the Lost, Psychonaut, Dawnrazor, etc.
