Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

While Sleeping On Roads is ostensibly Mojave 3 main man Neil Halstead's debut solo album, there is little to suggest that the singer needed this project, as an excuse to express any previously hidden, musical diversions. Essentially, a pared-down Mojave 3 album, Sleeping On Roads is soaked in the same kind of downbeat whimsy and lovelorn melancholia that Mojave 3 have perfected so well over the course of their three albums. Musically, Halstead has made no bones about his Nick Drake fixation, and so his songs continue to evoke pastoral, dreamy days with gently plucked strings and a voice fragile enough to sound delicately endearing. Horns tremulously sound, occasional a piano tinkles, and Halstead sings gorgeous sad songs, which never fail to emit a slow-burning warmth and grace. "Hi-Lo and In between" is one of the simplest and most affecting songs he's written, and the homespun title track, replete with banjo and slide guitar, is a delightful slice of Americana. High Hopes closes the album with Halstead softly strumming an acoustic guitar and opining "You were beautiful enough to make me stay". No musical frontiers shattered or new ground broken then, but really, you wouldn't want it any other way.--Suzannah Brown

4.0 out of 5 stars アコギの調べと優しい歌声, 2004/8/20
By いちのすけ (大阪府大阪市) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
元スロウダイブ、mojave3のフロントマン、
Neil halsteadの初ソロ。

温かく包み込むような歌声、
心に染みいるソングライティング。
アコギベースに
隠し味の電子音でシンプルに紡ぐ
優しく穏やかな楽曲の数々。

この人は本当に良い曲を書く。
こういう自然体の楽曲は
書けそうでなかなか書けない。

楽曲は最高だが、
浮世絵に影響を受けた

カバー・アートは内容と合わず
奇妙な感じがする。

彼のソロもmojave3もとても良いのだが、
期間限定でもいいから
スロウダイブ再結成してくれないかな、
と思うのは私だけだろうか。

4.0 out of 5 stars ソロの方が良いんやないの?, 2003/3/29
「Mojave 3」 のメンバーのソロ作。90年代後半ぐらいからか…?良い曲を書くシンガーソングライターが次々と出てきたが、その多くは「ビートルズ」や「ブライアン・ウィルソン」(ビーチボーイズ)をお手本にしたモノが殆んどだったように思う。(もちろんコンテンポラリーなセンスも加えられてはいるが…良いメロディを書こうと思えば、それらに頼らざるを得ない事情も解る!)そんな中、この作品は他と差別化できるモノとなっている。例えば「Tom Rap」(Ex.パールズ・ビフォア・スワイン)を少し軽やかにしたようなフォーキーな70年代的センスが伺える。そしてニック・ドレイク似のソフトな声!(ニックよりずっとメロディアス)一曲目を聴いただけで、このアルバムが良いものだと解る。「ヴェルベット・アンダーグラウンド」や「Galaxie 500」みたいなノリの「Mojave 3」も悪くはないが、個人的にはこちらの方が遥かに好きです。フォーキーなモノや、しっとりとしたギター・ポップが聴きたい人にはお勧めです。
