REVELATIONS is a best-of collection which highlights the Fields Of The Nephilim's seven-year recording history. It features tracks from DAWNRAZOR, rare single mixes and b-sides, and a previously unreleased live version of "Dawnrazor." This 1997 reissue of what was a 2 CD set has been slimmed down to 1 CD.

Intelligently selected and sequenced, this near-complete overview of Fields of the Nephilim's career, excepting the earliest EPs, is both the best starting point for newcomers to the band as well as convincing evidence for the band's compelling blend of styles and sources into a commanding combination. Nearly all of the hits are here -- "Moonchild," "Preacher Man," "Psychonaut" (in its "Lib III" incarnation), "For Her Light," and "Power" -- plus a judicious choice of album cuts. "Chord of Souls" and "Watchman" make the grade, though surprisingly neither the album version nor the single take of "Sumerland" appears. Some of the single edits do bear remarkable differences from the album takes. "For Her Light," as an example, gets a calmer mid-song break, while its conclusion consists of Carl McCoy's vocals run backward over a fade of the main melody, instead of the sudden end on Elizium. Generally, though, these are the album cuts as recorded, filling out the CD's length to the max. A wise nod to Earth Inferno appears at the end when the insanely powerful live cut of "Dawnrazor" appears instead of the studio take. Horror novelist Storm Constantine provides appreciative liner notes, detailing the history of the band quite thoroughly and making special note of the Nephilim's awesome live shows and artistic promotional videos. As a further enticement, initial copies included a second bonus disc with a grab bag of B-sides, alternate takes, and other rarities. "Submission Two" is indeed a fairly screwy dub take of the Elizium cut, while the "Contaminated Mix" of "Preacher Man" does its best to turn the original into pounding, industrial, dancefloor filler. "Celebrate (Second Seal)" appears from the "Psychonaut" EP, as does the dramatic "Lib. I" take of "Psychonaut." Album cut "Shiva" and a version of "Moonchild" also crop up, but the hands-down surprise is a cover of Roxy Music's "In Every Dream a Heartache." These musicians acquit themselves with a fine musical performance -- their quiet atmospherics in the song's first half are quite lovely -- but hearing the gravelly McCoy sing about inflatable dolls and bungalow ranch-style can't help but raise a smile. ~ Ned Raggett

Re-IssueQ (11/93, p.144) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the Nephilim's greatest hits which, rather remarkably, benefit from the passage of time....a decidedly attractive proposition..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Very Good!!!
A collection of tracks from the masters of goth-rock. It shows the early innovation, and showcases the talent of the true godfathers of goth. Though the two disc set is highly recommended. I still beleive buying their entire cd catalog is your best bet when it comes to getting to know FotN. Trust me, it is worth every penny.....

4 stars The Original Cowboys From Hell
Fields Of The Nephilim (or The Original Cowboys From Hell, due to their spaghetti western outfits) is another Goth legend. REVELATIONS (1993) offer a retrospective of FOTN music, covering the 1989/1990 area. REVELATIONS is a BEST OF that contains some already released material along with some hard-to-find songs (Blue Water, for exemple), and offer a live version of DAWNRAZOR.

A great CD for those who doesn't own anything from FOTN, but it would have been kind to release a more meaty retrospective album (like the original 2 record set with some extra goodies...). Nevertheless, you'll have to pick up this album if you don't want to buy the whole catalog.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs  (2009)

Revelations album
CD $11.35  3.8 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version of "Nutrocker" ever cut, doesn't do much to break that spell. But for those already enchanted by the Orchestra, this will continue to enthrall.

Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of ...
