 (1 Customer Review)
This album marks the end of era, as it's the last collaboration between Thompson and producer Joe Boyd, perhaps the only man who played as large a part in defining British folk-rock as Thompson himself. It finds Thompson in fine form, featuring his characteristic compositional mix of the acidic and the elegant. "When the Spell is Broken" and "She Twists the Knife Again" are the kind of harrowing love-gone-wrong tales that Thompson weaves like no one else. "Love in a Faithless Country" is among Thompson's more musically ambitious pieces, dipping into the 20th Century classical bag of ostensibly discordant harmonies. Throughout, Thompson is ably backed by old Fairport Convention buddies Dave Mattacks and Simon Nicol, among others.

Across A Crowded Room
$19.59 
Recorded between 1968 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Pete Townshend, John Atkins, and Chris Charlesworth.
Though Pete Townshend was originally unhappy with WHO'S NEXT, it was quickly welcomed by critics and fans, becoming one of the most celebrated titles in their enduring catalog. His frustrations boiled down to the album being a compromised version of a larger work he'd envisioned, LIFEHOUSE, which proved too unwieldy to be realized. Expanded to a two-disc set with essays by both Townshend and John Atkins, the original nine-song album is expanded with six additional studio tracks.
These include earlier versions of the album's songs and a cover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Baby Don't You Do It." Recorded in New York during the spring of 1971 in the midst of a fraying relationship with producer Kit Lambert, the early cuts clearly don't have the sonic breadth and ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Across A Crowded Room
$6.75  
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth.
