| | Faith & Disease Beneath The Trees CD Faith & Disease Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
Having quietly built up a well-deserved reputation throughout the '90s as purveyors of darkly beautiful, goth-tinged music, Faith and Disease hit the year 2000 with another fine effort, the lovely Beneath These Trees. The core duo of Rosenwasser and Cooley still nail it song for song, her dreamy, haunting singing and his quietly elegant performances on guitar, keyboards, and other instruments in perfect harmony. Drummer Semple deserves note for his subtle, strong-without-seeming-it work, while Sather completes the regular lineup with her work on harmony vocals and flute. It all begins on an almost impossibly great note, with the a cappella duet between Rosenwasser and Sather on the title track shifting into "Rubina Verde." Easily the equal of the best work of Low in terms of hushed drama and atmosphere, it's both a standout track for Rosenwasser's gorgeous singing and the band's collective sense of performance. Some numbers recall the songs on Insularia, which explored a more rural, folk/country side of the group, a vein further tapped here with fine results. "If I Drink From This Cup" features Rosenwasser letting a slight but clear twang into her singing, just enough, while the slow piano, cello, and guitar parts often recall the hushed mood of Mojave 3's earliest efforts. Even more striking in context is "Banks of the Ohio," a traditional murder ballad recorded in an intentionally scratchy 78 rpm mix that really does sound like an archival Smithsonian Folkways number. One of the more intriguing numbers is "To See Her in This Light," which reverses the usual formula for the band in that Rosenwasser wrote the music and Cooley the words. It's still another great number from them, though, with a lovely flute part from Sather to help distinguish it. Add in such other notables as the elegiac "Eventually Again" and Faith and Disease enter a new decade with style and grace intact. ~ Ned Raggett

Beneath The Trees music CDs
$17.99 Released 22 years after the fact, this two-disc set documents Roxy Music during their Manifesto tour. The band was beginning to veer from more adventurous progressive rock leanings to concentrate on the sophisticated pop and dance music that would surface on Flesh & Blood and Avalon. Six of the first eight songs are from the pivotal Manifesto, cutting a wide swath of styles, including the improv opening of "Manifesto," the moody "Stronger Through the Years," and the light-punk flash of "Trash." The remainder of the set is filled with old favorites ("Out of the Blue," "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," and "Do the Strand") that have been covered on the band's other live releases. The band is in excellent form. Bryan Ferry excels as both dreamy crooner and swaggering rock & roll frontman. Phil Manzanera plays some scorching guitar solos, particularly on the coda of "Out of the Blue" and "Ladytron," Andy Mackay provides evidence that he is one of rock music's most melodious saxophone and oboe players, and drummer Paul Thompson is thunderous throughout this show. He would soon leave in a disagreement over the group's new dance/pop leanings. As with many live recordings from this era, sound quality is sometimes inconsistent. Mackay's sax work is occasionally buried in the mix. Overall, the sound quality ...
