Product Description

From Amazon.com

If you need an early example of Cat Stevens's creative and spiritual restlessness, you needn't look further than this 1973 release. Following on the heels of worldwide successes such as Tea for the Tillerman, Mona Bone Jakon, and Teaser and the Firecat, the self-produced Foreigner must have been a jolt to fans of Stevens's melodic, often whimsical folk-pop songs. With a musically ambitious 18-minute title suite that seems more influenced by the ornate prog rock of contemporaries like Yes, Jethro Tull, and ELP, Stevens arguably reached beyond his grasp. Though the hit "The Hurt" hearkens back to earlier works, there's a musical aimlessness (particularly in the melodies) in the remaining three songs that seems very out of character with Stevens's typically incisive lyrics. It's an album of sometimes intriguing fragments that seems to lack the disciplined framework that might have brought them into focus. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars 大作「foreigner suite」(演奏時間約17分)を、聴くべし。, 2003/11/16
 キャットのアルバムは、出るたび出るたび買った僕だが、災害で全て失った。今は、好みも変わり、ジャズ・ヴォーカルにハマっているけど、最近、かつて夢中になったアーチストをCDで、買い戻している。

 そのうちの一枚が、本作の「異邦人」(邦題)だ。懐かしい彼の声が聴きたいと思いとりあえず、「ベリー・ベスト・オブ・・・」を購入したが、物足らずに買った。「ノーヴムの悪夢」「モナドの賛美歌」「child for days」と、もう一度聴いてみたい曲は沢山あるけど、全て買い戻すのはしんどい。
 で、どれか一枚となると、迷わず、この一枚になった。

 複雑なリズム・パターンを刻むドラム、パーカッシブなピアノ、ソウルフルな女性コーラスそれにシャウト気味なキャットのヴォーカル。
 孤独な幼年期、夢とかけ離れたアイドル時代、不遇だった過去から解き放たれた彼の魂が、音楽で昇華されていく様を、このアルバムに僕は見た。

5.0 out of 5 stars 「歌いながら」聞きたい 数少ない1枚, 2006/9/10
この作品を聞けば、コード進行、リズム、そして如何にマッチした歌詞を作るか、そんなこだわりのある70年代が少し見えてきます。
A面の繊細なメロディの長編もシンプルでありながら感動巨編。
シングル化された「灰色のゑの具」は30年以上経ち、歌詞に合わせて歌ってみれば、逆にその内省的さが、現代の狂気を浮き彫りにしてくれる。
宗教色が濃く、詩人的な歌手でありながら演奏、メロディー作りは秀逸。
ソウル、ジャズ、ロック、歌が好きな人ならばジャンルを超えて聞いてほしい一枚です。
