| | Bee Gees Spirits Having Flown CD Bee Gees Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
The late-'70s was an interesting time to be a Bee Gee. The trio had experienced a rebirth as disco kings via SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER even though their music at the time was closer to the Spinners than to Donna Summer. By 1979, disco's popularity had begun to wane, but this didn't affect the Gibb's much, since they were primarily just R&B/pop artists to begin with. On SPIRITS, the Bee Gees blend their Aussie take on Philly Soul (the transcendent "Too Much Heaven," the suggestive "Love You Inside Out") with contemporary pop ("Tragedy") and that unique sound that is theirs alone (the serene, glowing title track). The brothers' trademark harmonies and irresistible pop hooks were in evidence throughout, making SPIRITS HAVING FLOWN essential for those enamored of mid-period Bee Gees or R&B-flavored '70s pop.

Spirits Having Flown Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   The Ultimate Bee Gees Album
Spirits is the Bee Gees most successful album Apart From The SNF soundtrack. The album features three gigantic no.1s, Too Much Heaven,Tragedy and Love You Inside Out. The title cut was also a sizeable hit. Hopefully a proper remastered version with bonus cuts will be released in the near future.

Best harmonies ever
The Spirits (Having Flown) album contains the best harmonies ever recorded by the Bee Gees.
In fact, the first half of the “Spirits (Having Flown)” album, including the songs “Tragedy”, “Too Much Heaven”, “Love You Inside Out”, ”Reaching Out” and “Spirits (Having Flown” is so unique that the second half suffers in comparison.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Falsetto, Falsetto, Falsetto
Most love this. It sold millions and millions. Too much falsetto. I love the BEE GEES, and consider this one of their weaker albums. Geez, buy 1st, Horizontal, Mr.Natural, Main Course, Living Eyes. These far exceed the contents here. Robin vocals are the ultimate for me, but I'd take Cucumber Castle over this.

Spirits Having Flown
$15.65
With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there are obvious similarities, even if he has taken a deliberately different path as a solo artist. Basically, he's a lot quieter. "Border Reiver," the first song here, begins with a pennywhistle and a piano, then strings join in. Soon enough, Knopfler's distinctive ...

This reissue of REVOLVER has been digitally re-mastered. It comes packaged with replicated original U.K. album art, an expanded booklet containing original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. Limited quantities of the CD are embedded with a brief documentary film about the album.
Arguably the first psychedelic rock album, REVOLVER was praised for its musical experimentation--the Indian sounds of "Love You To," the Motown-inspired "Got To Get You Into My Life," the backwards guitar in "I'm Only Sleeping." "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the most radical departure from previous Beatles' recordings for its skeletal bass/drums propulsion enhanced only with tape loops (contributed by all four Beatles and added in the mix-down process), more backwards guitar, and an eerie John Lennon vocal.
Still, the Beatles' experimentation grew out of their songwriting, ...

SUAVEMENTE was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Tropical Latin Performance.
Let us speak of apt adverbs. The comely Elvis Crespo makes his U.S. debut with a soft touch indeed, on SUAVEMENTE. Mostly moderate in tempo, this assortment of merengues takes its time as it entices. So just know that this is not your tio's merengue--you'll have barely reached the faster-burning tracks by the time ...

More than anything else, BRAND shows the Dark Prince of Reggae to be as equally talented a producer and engineer ...
