Product Description

From Amazon.com

Described aptly in the liner notes as a "panoramic view of where he's been and where he's going," this weighty double-disc captures Van in all of the guises he adopted in the 1980s and early '90s. There are several devotional pieces, a couple of splendid rants ("Professional Jealousy" and "Why Must I Always Explain"), two collaborations with the Chieftains, and jazzy swingers driven by Georgie Fame's organ. The real heart of the album is Van's evocation of his childhood in lyrics and arrangements that capture the joys of discovering rock & roll while growing up in Belfast amid that city's conflicting passions. There are several high points for connoisseurs of his stream-of-consciousness lyrical rambles, notably "On Hyndford Street" and "Take Me Back." As an album, the mood swings too dramatically to be coherent, but in its individual parts there is evidence of true genius. --Rob Stewart

5.0 out of 5 stars ジャケは渋いが・・・, 2002/9/7
By yasuplu (千葉県) - See all my reviews
1991年の21曲入りの2枚組。今聴くと現在のVan Morrisonに
つながる気持ちよい曲ばかりです。音的にはアメリカンルーツ系のもの
が多いですが、ジャンルはさておき音にゆっくり浸れる幸せ。。。
ジョージーフェームのオルガンが全編に広がり、ケルテッィクな雰囲気の
Disc1の7、そして6はチーフタンズも参加して豊潤な世界を描き、

9ではゴスペルも歌い上げ、Disc1の4、Disc2の2の粋なかっこよさ、
タイトル曲に代表されるVan Morrison風安らぎに満ちた曲の
数々。次作の[Too long in exile]とともに自ら生きてきた
音楽人生を振り返る傑作。

5.0 out of 5 stars 透明感がある時期の集大成的な作品, 2006/10/13
By chieftains (札幌市) - See all my reviews
VAN黄金期の一枚(2枚組)。この前後のVANの作る音楽はとても透明感があって、クラッシックロックファンなんかにとっては、ある種近寄りがたさのようなものさえ感じてしまいますが、長年VANを追っかけてきた輩には最高の一枚です。チーフタンズとの共演曲ももちろん楽しいけれど、ジョージ・フェイムほか往年のニッキー・スコット、当時ちょくちょく参加が見られるキャンディー・ダルファーのサイドもばっちり決まって、VANの歌唱を引き立てています。”Hymns to the silence”や”Be thou my vision”や”Why I must always explain”などは決定的な素晴らしさで、まさにVAN’Sワールドの真骨頂でしょう。この作品を機に前作、前々作から続いていた「透明感サウンド」が多少失われはじめ、2,000年代の素晴らしい作品が続出するまで、VANは方向性を模索していくように見受けられます(かといって、サンフランシスコライブなど名作もありますが)。年を追うごとに輝きを増す一枚、是非おためしあれ!

4.0 out of 5 stars ヴォーカリストとしての集大成!, 2003/6/15
By 街道を行く (大阪府) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
1991年にリリースされたヴァン・モリソンの2枚組CD。ミック・ジャガーやポール・ロジャース等と比べられていた偉大なロック・ヴォーカリストが、リラックスした雰囲気でじっくりと歌った感じのする好アルバム。あらゆるジャンルの曲が盛り込まれている。ギターも彼自身によるもので、このあたりにも拘りが感じられる。殆んどがヴァン・モリソンによるものだが、一枚目の6曲目レイ・チャールズで有名な「愛さずにいられない」や2枚目5曲目「ビー・ザウ・マイ・ヴィジョン」など彼の音楽的ルーツを感じさせる。
ヴォーカル曲がお好きな方にお薦め。
