Originally released in 1978, Fear Of The Dark completed the trilogy of releases that began with the Visionary album. Following on from the success of the chart single and album Perilous Journey, Gordon set out on a major tour with a full band to promote Fear Of The Dark. The tour and album reviews were very positive, admiring Gordon's dexterity in mixing folk, classical and rock styles to create a symphonic or progressive genre, creating comparisons with Mike Oldfield.

| | Bon Jovi Circle CD (2009)
Fear Of The Dark CD music
$11.19 Bon Jovi's 2007 effort, LOST HIGHWAY, found New Jersey's finest brandishing a Nashville-tinged, commercial rock/country crossover sound that wasn't too far a stretch from their usual arena rocking anthems for the Everyman. And where that album sometimes tried too hard to fit into the conventions of trad country, sacrificing some of the fist-pumping potency of their best `90s-era efforts in the process, THE CIRCLE, the band's fifth studio effort of the `00s, is a back-to-roots return to form focused on uplifting hooks and a hard-hitting guitar rock energy. ...
| | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Fear Of The Dark music CDs
$9.55 Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a ...

Fear Of The Dark album
$14.65 Few pop groups were as irrelevant in 1966 as the New Christy Minstrels' extended acoustic folk aggregate. Although the title New Kick! (1966) projects an optimistic future, internally the combo was split between its consistent demand as a live act and creatively disappointing outings such as this. By the mid-'60s none of the founding Christys remained in the fold. The lack of a central musical force or direction left them ...

| | Menomena Under An Hour CD (2006)
Fear Of The Dark music CDs
$11.75 Under an Hour was originally composed as one-time accompaniment for a modern dance performance at Portland, OR's Time-Based Art Festival in September, 2004. But after working on the composition for up to eight months, Menomena's three members decided to commit the music to tape. For those of us who missed the one-and-only showing of Under an Hour, we can be thankful they did. What's impressive about Menomena's score is not only how well it accompanied the dance (clips are available through the band's website), but how effective it is without any visuals at all. Composed of three nearly 20-minute sections, the music was written to mirror the dance's three movements: "Water," "Flour" and "Light." Each of Menomena's members were responsible for writing one section, and each attended multiple rehearsals by Portland's Monster Squad dance troupe. Integrating the music with the unique choreography wasn't easy -- for "Water," the dancers performed in two inches of water on a specially built stage. The floor was covered in powder for "Flour," and in "Light" a ceiling installation lowered lights into the dancers' space at timed intervals. But the band also had to capture in music -- on "Water," for instance -- such esoteric ideas as "purity," "scarcity" and "play."
Brent Knopf wrote "Water," and it opens the disc with drone-like lines, minor-key trellises and prog-ish crescendos. Piano, viola, baglama (a baby bouzouki), toy piano, organ and guitar conjure a watery world of misty fogs, cascading waterfalls, and torrential tempests. Justin Harris' percussive "Flour" most closely resembles Menomena's quirky keys-and-drums-centric pop songs. Here, the cymbal crashes, the drums thunder, and a baritone and alto sax bleat accompany the powdery clouds stirred up by the dancers and a story line about "anthrax," "cocaine," "strike," "settle" and "explosion" -- whatever that entails. Danny Seim's "Lights" proved the most difficult to pull off live from a technical standpoint. On disc, it leans predominantly on a combination of long e-bowed guitar lines and a variety of sampled beats, but the result does succeed in suggesting the buzz of fluorescent lights or the flickering of dying light ...
