What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Didn't do much for me. A little too techno/pop synthesizer heavy maybe, on some tracks. Band was formed in London in 1974 and this is their seventh album. Another group that seems to have had a bigger following in Europe than here. Not complaining about that in this case. Didn't seem to find their niche till Midge Ure arrived on the scene. They had a few decent songs in their day, but not much on here to remember. Well, there was the big hit of Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, but that was just ok, and not the best thing on here, but the end of the world video clip for it is pretty cool. I believe that is the general theme of this album. The group called it quits one album after this one, reforming in '93 for one more and that was it. This album went to #8 in the U.K. but stalled at #115 in the states, with that single reaching #3 in the U.K and nowhere to be found across the pond.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - A Friend I Call Desire

Best Track - Man Of Two Worlds

Taking shelter by the standing stones
Miles from all that moves
Breathing solitude, seeking confidence
A gift to me
Feeling spirits never far removed
Passing over me and I greet them with open arms

Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh

Reading passages of ancient rhyme
Cut so deep so old
Telling tales of travellers and mystery
Hearing spirits never far removed
Call out aloud
When the time comes they'll talk to me

Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds
Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh
Hand fighting hand
As you turn to a man of two worlds

Feel a presence moving into me
Painting pictures with its words
Seeing places that I've never seen
Like a door thrown open on a life I've lived before

Taobh ri taobh tha sinn mar aon de dha shaobhail
Do lambh nam lambh gabhal aithne air leim a ghablh
Mar e shealbhaichis mi an tiodhlac seo ahonisa
S mo lambh n'ad lambh smuainich air na tireauu ceinne
S mi deaunabh gardochas da raire
