Try Anything Once (Audio CD)

Customer Review

After the Alan Parsons Project For years geschwächelt something comes again a super album. Eric Woolfson has left the band, songwriting Alan Parsons divides henceforth with seionen bandmates. If you had to make a brief description of the album, you just would speak of music that sounds like a cross between Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield at their best. Floating, atmospheric Klangflaechen, gefuehlvolles guitar playing, beautiful instrumentals.

'The Three Of Me', with its wonderful sparkling piano at the beginning, and the atmospheric sung by MMEB-singer Chris Thompson, aufwartende with a great guitar solo from Bairnson 'Turn It Up' (my tip: In quiet train looking out the window, watching the landscape, and to Listen to) are just a few examples perfectly rehearsed and produced music. The eight-minute-long, gefuelvolle, 'Mr Time' recalls for the female vocals at Mike Oldfield. The instrumentals are all class and are among the best that Mr. Parsons has ever made. The saxophone-heavy 'Breakaway', as well as the guitar and orchestra-heavy, two-part 'Jigue / Re-Jigue' are largely livelier nature, while 'Dreamscape' the trauemerische, floating counterpoint is. Especially the latter sounds like it was recorded in heaven.

An album as a unified whole, but each song has its own unique characteristics. Weaknesses not the album. Thus it is a perfect proof that certainly also good music was made in the 90s.
