MARKET HARBOUR REViEWS

[SiN1758]

Sounds like CJ is doing the backing vocals on Couple Trouble, anyone agree?

Yeah, definitely. CJ's backing vox always seem to be a little higher in the mix than other backing singers.....

[Ilsa]

I have to agree with everyone whose commented that the album improves with each play through. It's really beautiful.

I loved Casino Bay, Soap Hammer, The Queen of Leaving and Shatterproof immediately - the other tracs on this epic album have teken their time, but now I can listen to it as an entire beautifully orchestrated piece.

I was only introcuced to Ginger by a friend who recommeded Yoni a few months ago, and already this album, Yoni and VDC are CD's I can't imagine not having in my collection.

The Perilous Burden of Prodical Obligation is truly captivating!

Long time lurker here, thought I'd add my thoughts. Have had the album since Saturday and on the first listen I was very impressed, "The Perilous etc etc etc" stood out on the first listen, it's rare for me to like something instantly. Normally tracks take a while to sink in. However, the more instant an album is to me the quicker I'm bored with it. I hope this won't be the case as so far I'm really enjoying it.

It does improve with evry listen...however theres so much to take in it'll take weeks to even think about reviewing it.

Agreed.

I'm liking the Go! Team style stuff on it. Big fan of their first album.

Like the vibe and atmosphere, even if it makes me a feel a bit sad / reflective.

[Sarc]

Can i be the first to demand Soap Hammer to be played on the acoustic shows?

[Elle]

I agree with the view that this is gingers finest work to date, I am finding the album very moody in good way , it does seem like our hero has moved to another level

[fluffygrue]

After a few listens, it's good, but hasn't grabbed me yet.

The Perilous Burden of Prodigal Obligation does stand out as being great, though.

Got the album today, and I'm not even fucking thinking of saying anything for a couple of weeks. This sucker's going to need some digesting (Not to mention that Bob Mould's had the temerity to preview his new alum on his myspace... you'd think two of my avourite songwriters could nut out a schedule, wouldn't you)! But it's fantastic so far...

[Chris Davies]

I'd like to take back my earlier statement.

Having listened to it over and over I think its an excellent album , I just love the way it flows. I wouldnt even think of listening to any individual songs or putting it on random , this has to be played the way it was meant to be , its pretty close to perfect. Even the instrumentals.

Lyrically probably the best work Gingers done as a whole. I'm particularly liking 'I knew you (An Amnesis)' , 'Awareness and the great integrity' and 'A malibu chronicle' at the moment but thats just for now , yesturday it was 'Queen of leaving' and 'Attentionette'. Fantastic stuff.

One question on the chorus of 'The Perilous Burden......' is Ginger singing ? I suprisingly can't tell , at first I thought it was but when I was listening to it on my ipod I couldnt tell.

I'm liking the Go! Team style stuff on it. Big fan of their first album.

Hey, what's wrong with 'Proof Of Youth'?

I can see where you're coming from. "Thunder, Lightening, Strike" is so busy it never fails to get the bloody coursing through my veins - excellent hangover music. The cheerleader-type chants are reminsicent of the all-too-catchy "You and me (that's what I want)"

[Pudu]

OK, I have reserved posting as yet whilst I have been attempting (very, very hard) to actually find an opinion about this album. I love VDC and Yoni and they are up there with my faves but I really struggled just to get some sort of opinion about MH, either positive or negative - it just sort of passed me by every time I listened to it without any sort of engagement.

I am delighted that finally this morning I have found an opinion (The hail must have brought it overnight), I started up the car to come to work this morning and lo and behold the song that started my journey I started to like!!! (The Perilous......) And before anyone says it I know people on here have been saying how good that song is but I have been unable to see it until now.

Then low and behold every song that came on since I started liking and actually sing along to - Ginger once again has proven his GOD-like status to me and I must apologise to him for having slight doubts after my first listen (and every other one for the last 5 days!).

Long live Ginger!

This album just gets better and better.

Does anyone else thing that the solo on Awareness And The Great Integrity would sound awesome if performed by Slash?
