As the title suggests, The Hour Before Dawn is a mellower album than any of Solas' three previous efforts. The record is weighted toward the soft and reflective, successfully evoking musically the quiet sunrise atmosphere captured in Didem Atahan's beautiful cover design. "A Little Child," for instance, is a lovely slow air that gives talented fiddler Winifred Horan an expressive solo. "When My Love and I Parted" is hauntingly rendered with wailing strings. Even the union ballad "A Miner's Life," a song that might have been played with more verve on the earlier records, is given a very fetching mellow treatment centered around a rare lead vocal performance by guitarist John Doyle. The new mood is a welcome change of pace from ...

Return To Skye
$15.85
This rerelease of The Art Collection's Richard and Tom Martin's lost-and-found album features such rare tracks as "Woodstock," "Word is Love" and "December Rain."
Visualise, the long lost album by Thomas & Richard Frost (ex-Powder), is not only available -- 33 years after it was originally recorded -- for the first time on compact disc, but for the first time in any format. In some ways, the album represents that rare occurrence when a genuine obscurity actually turns out to be better than expected after such a long wait. Indeed, Visualise turns out to be not just a lost classic from the late '60s, but a sublime and stunning "soft pop" wonder. The discovery of this "lost masterpiece," in fact, should create the kind of fervor that Billy Nicholls' long sought after and legendary Would You Believe album created when it was finally released on CD in 1999. In 1970, Thomas & Richard Frost had already recorded a handful of classic pop singles for Imperial and Liberty, including "She's Got Love," which charted at number 83 on Billboard's Top 100 singles chart. Each subsequent single was a step further toward what was sure to be their artistic tour de force, Visualise. Unfortunately, plans to release this album were inexplicably aborted in the 11th hour by Imperial's decision-makers, even though the master recordings were already in the can and the album had already been assigned a catalog number (LP-12450). Imperial was in disarray, and the Frosts were, unfortunately, victimized by what was going on behind the scenes. (In 1968, the Transamerica Corporation, the company that owned United Artists, bought the Liberty/Imperial labels and merged them with UA, but by 1970 UA transferred most of Imperial's artists to Liberty for future releases -- by 1971, Imperial had essentially ceased to exist as a distinct new-product label.)
Of all the known or rumored "lost" albums from the odd pop era when everyone wanted a go at a Superpop classic a la Brian Wilson, (and more succeeded than one might think) this is perhaps the most thoroughly lost, as the only essay in this style by the artist, it was a case of never before and never again! Richard and Tom Martin were mainstays of The Art Collection aka Powder, America's closest shot at the Pop-Art sound of The Who or The Creation, after a number of classic (and now ruinously expensive!) singles failed to set the charts alight, a change of direction was clearly called for...Calling themselves Thomas ...

$13.15
Black Horse formed in the spring of 2004 when Brooklyn-based Seattle-transplants April Goettle (vocals, guitar, synth) and AP Schroder (vocals, guitar, programming) consolidated their musical endeavors into a duo. Tired of sharing members with other bands who were erratically on tour, thus keeping them in a constant holding pattern, Black Horse emerged as the communion of Goettle, Schroder and a drum machine, pounding out a wall of bleak and blackened rock and roll dirges that marry the scrape of industrial rhythms and distortion with a strong and womanly edge.On their debut full-length, The Black Arts of Black Horse, Goettle’s vocalizations don’t position her as an antagonist as much as they cast her as a sturdy front woman; a feminist to be sure, friend or foe you decide. She’s a songwriter who understands the balance of language from the brain, the heart and the guts, and the subtle shades with which each one can add grit and color to the others. All of this is underscored by Schroder’s unwavering rhythms that are programmed into the drum machine and ground to bits under an impenetrable duel-guitar traipse.Each song is a capsule of discomfort, confrontation and catharsis, streamlined and put on display as aggressive pop fodder. Goettle has stated, “If you're going to bother writing lyrics you want people to hear, they should be worth listening to,” and she has held herself ...
