(2 Customer Reviews)
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

| Revelations Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 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.....

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. Submitted by thegrey (Sherbrooke, QC) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Purchase Revelations CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Revelations album
$10.09 After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque ...

Revelations songs
$11.18 Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful ...
| | Belin All The Way In CDs (2009) With DVD
Revelations album
$13.75 At times, it was hard to figure out whether Berlin were an average synth pop band trying to carve out their own niche or just a mediocre rock band jumping on the new wave bandwagon. Sure, they had some good singles and radio hits, but as an album band, they left a lot to be desired. Terri Nunn was beautiful and sexy, but it seemed like Berlin wanted to be more than just a commercial band with a hot vocalist: they seemed to be striving for greatness but settled for "that'll do." Unfortunately, they never had a chance to really prove themselves, breaking up after their commercially disappointing Count Three & Pray album, released in 1986. Nunn has kept the Berlin ...
