Editorial Reviews

Review

Fans of Jeff Buckley's vocal grandeur…Drake's somber reflections…Buckner's elegant storytelling take note--your new favorite artist has arrived. -- The Stranger

[Ian] left the hot licks and long blond locks behind to reveal a wonderfully cerebral (and often estranged) gothic songwriter. -- Paste

[Luminaria]…filled with shadowy, deep imagery…doesn’t fly with angels [it] dances with devils…intelligent…filled with dark subtleties. -- Billboard.Biz

Worthy of your Attention!!!

ByConcert 500on October 30, 2016

Love, love, love this project.......too many great songs to list. Its one of those albums that will immediately warm your heart and youll take pause at its sincere composition. Ian floats effortlessly in and out of falsetto. He is a special artist worthy of your attention.

I was recently introduced to Ian Moore's music and I fell in love with it! I was so excited to find this on Amazon and even more excited when I received it! Anyone who likes folksy blues will LOVE this CD. I am always impressed at the fast way my items are delivered and how friendly the Amazon personnel are and the emails between customer and seller. I will always remain a customer of Amazon and once again, IMPRESSED with Ian Moore...but this CD people! You will love it!

I've been a fan of Ian's since 1996. He remains one of the singular best live performers I've ever seen - to see an Ian Moore show is an experience unlike many others.

And, I should say that I am also a fan of the "new" Ian Moore. Much has been said of his transition from a "guitar-slinging hero" to a more introspective singer-songwriter. I find the transition one of growth and inspiration. In fact, Ian's previous studio release "And All The Colors..." is among my most treasured recordings.

I sensed that Ian was going for the complete transition on this recording. I've really tried as hard as I could to like it - I've locked myself in a room and listened to it end-to-end a few times now. I can't warm up to it. The songs are too simple, the melodies lack the unexpected twists that make many of the songs on "Colors" great, and the lyrics aren't in my opinion, up to Ian's standard.

I can definitely see what he is going for here, and based on the other reviews I can tell I'm in the minority among Ian Moore appreciaters, but I simply don't like this disc.

I've got all IAN MOORE releases and loved everything he has done until this offering. MODERNDAY FOLKLORE and ALL THE COLORS were excellent and intelligent changes in direction, while still maintaining the obvious skills and energy from his BLUES persona. This is like EMO dross.....LEONARD COHEN without the humor. There is not even a tiny bit of energy to be found anywhere on this disc. If IAN still plays the guitar, it sure is not obvious to this listener. Not sure which drug you'd need to take to make this dirge sound good. Crying shame for one so obviously talented as IAN MOORE. I am also still listening to find the INTELLIGENT bit that some reviewers are referring to. PRETENTIOUS - YES - WANKING - YES - FLACID - YES - INTELLIGENT - NO !!!

HIS BEST EFFORT SINCE LIVE IN AUSTIN!!!

ByHenry E. Stollon January 26, 2011

Format: Audio CD

THOUGH I'M A HUGE FAN OF HIS EARLIER WORK, IAN'S GROWTH AS A SONG WRITER IS EVIDENT ON THIS ALBUM! SINCE STRAYING FROM HIS BLUES/ROCK BEGINNINGS AND SHRUGGING OFF HIS "HEIR APPARENT" TITLE, AS BESTOWED BY ME, LOL, HIS ALBUMS HAVE BEEN ADVENTUROUS AND ARTISTICLY CHALLENGING, IF NOT ALWAYS 100% SATISFYING. "LUMINARIA" IS IN MY OPINION, HIS BEST EFFORT TO DATE. ON THIS ALBUM HE HAS ACHIEVED A DEGREE OF "COMPLETENESS" THAT I DIDN'T FEEL ON SOME OF HIS EARLIER WORKS. IAN IS TRULY AN "ARTIST", AND HIS REFUSAL TO COMPROMISE IS FINALLY REWARDED WITH THIS ALBUM!
EVEN AT HIS WORST, IAN HAS MORE TALENT THAN 99% OF THE OTHER PERFORMER/SONGWRITERS OUT THERE, AND AT HIS BEST, HE IS TRANSCENDENT!!!!!! BUY IT!!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IAN DO ANOTHER LIVE DISC/DVD, MAYBE IN THE VEIGN OF WHAT SHAWN MULLINS DID RECENTLY, HALF SOLO/HALF BAND, OR HALF NEW STUFF AND HALF OLD "LIVE IN AUSTIN" ERA STUFF???? I KNOW, PROBABLY TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR! BUT I FEEL DEPRIVED BECAUSE I'VE NEVER GOTTEN TO SEE HIM LIVE! I DID BUY "LIVE AT THE CACTUS CAFE", BUT THAT JUST LEFT ME WANTING MORE!!!!!!!!
IAN MOORE IS A GIFT, FROM GOD, TO ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1/2 -- Impressive blend of folk, country and psychedelia

Byhyperboliumon October 30, 2004

Format: Audio CD

Those who already know Moore may only know him from his previous incarnation as a guitar-slinging Texan. Those who haven't heard his earlier work will have a hard time connecting his earlier blues-rock background to his current folk-rock inflected alt.country sound. His latest betrays few hints of his past, filling out this disc (his sixth) with superb pop melodies and adventurous arrangements that layer harmony and echo on meters that effortlessly flow from pop 4/4 to dreamy waltz-time interludes.

Touch-points like Jeff Buckley's introspective folk and Wilco's pop constructs are fleshed out by loping tempos, as well as pedal steel that is more atmosphere than twang. The 7+ minute "Caroline" is a lush Badfinger-like construct that alternates between concise melodic pop and trippy psychedelia. Having recorded this album over many months with a revolving set of musicians in several cities and along the road, the songs explore a wide range of styles, including the shuffling country soul of "April," the jazzy blues of "Abilene," and the otherworldly Theramin-inspired "Ordinary People." It's a heady collection of sophisticated sounds that mixes primary elements with shadings of trip-hop.

When Moore cranks up the rock 'n' roll electricity, as he does for "New Day," it's more a wall-of-buzz (with Penny Lane-ish trumpets) than Texas blues. Even the rootsy dobro rant "Bastard" sounds as though it were processed through a bit of Tom Waits' alley-way sensibility. Moore's lyrics are similarly sophisticated, mixing allegory with word play for poetic effect, but without destroying the narratives or characters. His sketch of Antarctic explorer Sir Robert Scott's dramatically portrays the mariner's failed attempt to reach the South Pole before anyone else (he was beaten by Norwegian Roald Amundsen), and his death on the return journey.

Perhaps the album's greatest achievement is how effortlessly it combines its breadth of style and depth of experimentation. Rather than sounding constructed, it sounds like an organic whole that tumbled out of Moore's imagination. There's a great deal of craft in the unusual, detailed arrangements, but like the lyrics, singing and playing, it's in service of fashioning a superbly coherent result from often disparate ingredients.

What happened to Ian Moore the great blues guitarist?

I became an avid fan of Ian's upon the release of his debut album. I saw him live as often as possible for the next couple of years.Read more

Brilliant musician's most brilliant album to date

Man how Ian's sound has changed from his self-titled debut album of the early 90's. In each album since, Ian's reinvented his music stylistically, and it's a great thing to have...Read more

An amazing transformation

Ian has a difficult type of songwriting to label. While listening to this gem, all I could think of was "unique". He was once a "Vaughn/Hendrix" guitar style artist.Read more

Astonishing, unexpected masterpiece.

The reluctant guitar hero returns, and once more delivers an album which showcases his bottomless versatility.Read more

Great Scott! Give me Moore...

Like Jonny Lang & Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ian Moore pretty much came storming out of the blues starting blocks around the same time, and rocked about as hard.Read more
