Singer/songwriter Tanita Tikaram's debut album, Ancient Heart, stands as one of the most underappreciated albums of the 1980s, and she, along with Tracy Chapman, preceded the 1990s' onslaught of female singer/songwriters by almost a decade. Tikaram, who was only 19 when this album was released, created a melancholy and wistful work, mature beyond her years, of startling originality and honesty. While this album may be considered folkish and artsy, it never stoops to the clichés that dominated those styles of music in the later Lilith Fair years. Her near perfect signature song "Twist in My Sobriety" is a stark, sinuous, desperate torch song that managed to garner a bit of radio and video airplay in its day and sounded like nothing else then or since. Other highlights include the lovely and more upbeat "Cathedral Song," "World Outside Your Window," and "Good Tradition"," as well as the jazzy "For All the Years" and the haunting "I Love You" and "Valentine Heart" -- the latter being one of the album's true highlights. Ancient Heart is a smoky, world-weary album, that, years after its initial release, does not sound one bit dated and has effortlessly stood the test of time. The definite highlight of Tanita Tikaram's career. ~ Jose F. Promis

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

4 stars A great voice
A great voice but I wonder what happened? Did she get tired of the music biz? People with a quarter of her talent have gone on to have longer careers. Her voice has a great mysterious quality. Maybe this will help, if you like Michelle Shocked the chances are you will like this, of course if you know who Michelle Shocked is you have probably already heard this!

4 stars Classic.....
One of a kind Tanita Tikaram continues to record(2005) and has 6 collections over the years but this stunning first record put her on the map, made her a big star. When this was released(late 80's) remember the state of music, specifically women singer/songwriters/musicans. Soon after this collection was released or right around this time, the likes of Tracy Chapman, Sinead O'Connor, Toni Childs, burst on the music scene and the talents of Bonnie Raitt(2nd life) & Tori Amos's genius would follow in the next year or two. This was a perfect time for this 1st Tanita record to break in and that it did, all over the world, and with the help of music video stations we all got to see this dark beauty and a just a pup.(age 18?) With a voice as husky & sensual and older than her years and some really eccentric musical styles, she gave us a gem of a record. The big hit "Twist in my sorbriety" opened her up to the world but this collection was full of other smoking, sultry gems. Wordy at times and filled with a wonderous travelouge of a life she breathed new life into the singer/songwriters of the 70's and helped open the door to the quality music that was to come. Although she did not match the impact of the first one, over the years she still is well worth seeking out her back catalouge as there is always gems in every collection. Check out her best of set!

3 stars For all these years
"For all these years" is the highlight of this ancient cd, released 15 years ago. A tune with a haunting flugel horn in the background. "Twist in my sobriety" is a bit more upbeat. Definitely worth buying.

5 stars A great tradition.
The mysterious and very beautiful Ms Tikarem came into our lives in the late 1980's, made the world a much better place for a few years and then quietly left the music biz to make babies and grow vegetables (l guess). "Ancient heart" was her best-est effort, her unique, dry and husky voice pumping quality-music into a world filled with Stock-Aitken-Waterman sh*te. "Good tradition" is a fabbo tune; listen to this album- you won't be disappointed.

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a benchmark record. It turned the musical world on its ear with a hitherto unseen combination of sounds, and changed things considerably for Pink Floyd. For this project, Pink Floyd resurrected older and unfinished numbers, some of which came from the multitude of soundtracks the band members had previously worked on. The film ZABRISKIE POINT, a study of American materialism from a foreigner's perspective, provided "Us and ...

Containing an economical sampling of the music from Sony's TROUBADOUR box set (and a track list that is remarkably similar to DONOVAN'S GREATEST HITS), THE ESSENTIAL DONOVAN is highly recommended for the casual Donovan fan. His egregious tag as "the British Bob Dylan" and his sometimes-silly hippie vibe notwithstanding, Donovan wrote some of the catchiest ...
