Amazonレビュー
ジョンへの追悼歌「過ぎ去りし日々」を別にすれば、それまで“禁じ手”としてきたビートルズ・サウンドを遂に解禁し、大ヒットを記録した起死回生の1作。それを可能にしたプロデューサー、ジェフ・リンの存在も見逃せない。
ジェイムズ・レイの62年のヒット曲をカバーし見事全米1位に輝いた「セット・オン・ユー」、ビートルズへのオマージュにあふれた「FAB」という2曲のヒット・シングルの印象が強烈だが、アルバム自体は、同じく彼が手がけたロイ・オービソンの『ミステリー・ガール』(89年)やトラヴェリング・ウィルベリーズを彷彿とさせるもの。最もジェフ・リン色濃い「ディス・イズ・ラヴ」あたりもゴキゲンな仕上がりだ。ボーナス追加された2曲の内、「上海サプライズ」は待望の音源化となった同名映画の主題歌。(木村ユタカ)

30年以上気になっていた曲が聴けてうれしかったです。
しょっぱなのタイトル曲Cloud Nineはとても渋いナンバーだが、ジョージとクラプトンの左右スピーカーから聞こえるギターの掛け合いが素晴らしい。このころのジョージのスライドギターはすでに芸術の域に達していて、ブルージーなクラプトンのスローハンドと交錯する逸品の曲。2曲目のThat's What It TakesはELOっぽく異色作だが、そのはずでジェフ、ゲイリー・ライトとの共作ナンバー。ただジョージの哀愁漂うボーカルをキラッとしたジェフサウンドに溶け込ますことに成功しとても好きな曲。続く、Fish On The Sandと3rdシングルのThis Is Loveはビートルズで出してもおかしくないぐらいもろビートリーな曲であり、過去の呪縛から吹っ切れたのが本物と思わせるナンバー。Just For TodayとSomeplace Elseはとてもジョージらしいし、ジョージしか出せないバラード。という具合で、ソングライティングとしてのクオリティもとても高く名曲揃いのアルバムとなった。
シングルカットしたカバー曲のGot My Mind Set On Youは思いもかけず大ヒットしたが、アルバムがとてもいいアルバムだったからこそ後押しする形でシングルヒットにつながったと思う。でも個人的に一番好きなのは、2ndシングルのWhen We Was Fabなりますね。ジョージがかつて影響を受けていたサイケデリックとインド音楽をパロディにした曲で、なんていうかヘンテコな変調の繰り返しなのだが、リンゴの8ビートのドラムと合わさってこれぞジョージって感じがしてとてもいい。
70年代のジョージはパティとの離婚以来、ダークホースの経営難や様々な問題が降り注ぎ何かに取りつかれたように運を落している感じだった。そのころの作品も悲壮感や陰りが漂っていたものもあり、自信や元気がなくなっていた感じもした。ただこのアルバムではなんだろうか、ビートルズ時代Roll Over Beethovenを歌っていたジョージを思い起こす活力のあるジョージが復活して嬉しくなった記憶がある。おそらく制作スタイルとしてはベテランらしくいい感じで脱力していたはずだが、眠かせた才能をジェフによって引き出され、また多くの友人達のサポートとクラプトン、リンゴとの化学反応もあって、思わぬ形での名盤が誕生した。そしてこれをきっかけにジョージ最後の黄金時代が始まることになり、そういう意味においても必聴に値するアルバムだと思います
いつまでも聞きたい内容の濃い作品にさらにボーナス曲が2つもつくのは贅沢そのもの
ぜったい買うべき
タイトル曲の渋さは何回聞いても
WEA時代のジョージは過小評価されているような気がするのは言いすぎでしょうか。
セールス的にジョン、ポールの後塵を拝するような感もありますが、精神性では互角と思います。
ポールの世俗的感覚、ジョンの反体制的感覚、ジョージの反物質主義感覚、リンゴの一般人的感覚ともいえるでしょうか。
さて、CD販売のためにも、できれば国産を買いたいとも思いますが、いまだにCCCDなどというCDのようなものでは今の時代にそぐわないような気がします。
この状況では、US、UKのCDを買うしかないでしょう。
1.のブルース・フィーリング溢れる曲でもその聞き心地はあくまでもポップ。クラプトンっぽいフレーズを盛り込みつつもあっさりしている。2.はジェフ・リンっぽいメロディが印象的な佳曲。3.も印象的なギターのリフとカッティングが心地よい佳曲。この時代のジェフ・リン・プロデュース作は彼と彼の周りにに神でも降りてきたのか?と思わせるほど素晴しいものばかりだが、本作はその中でも最高のものの一つ。シングルのB面用の曲だった「ハンドル・ウィズ・ケア」がトラヴェリング・ウィルベリーズのデビュー曲になるほど湯水のごとく名曲が生まれていた。

by Mel C. Thompson.
Typically Harrison's albums have maybe one hit, or even no hits, then maybe one or two good songs, and then a lot of pretty iffy material.
Of course All Things Must Pass was an exception. It was, by far, the best post-Beatles album produced by any of the Beatles, and remains, by the way, the best selling of all the post-Beatle albums.
Cloud Nine was, however, a total breakout album for a few reasons. Firstly, the album had one smash hit, Got My Mind Set On You. This hit had such staying power and came so late in Harrison's career that it got Harrison a huge non-Beatles audience, so much so that I met young kids at the time who did not know or believe Harrison had been in the Beatles and simply liked him as a solo artist. That kind of comeback is a very rare achievement for any artist.
But also, the album has two minor hits, The Devil's Radio, and also, the best song on the album, When We Was Fab, a song that not only pokes some lighthearted and serious fun at Harrison's Beatle years, but has a tremendous musical style parody of their psychedelic era, calling to mind arrangements similar to I Am The Walrus and Strawberry Fields. It takes several listenings to really get what a masterpiece that song is.
The Devil's Radio is great because it has a profound spiritual message without leaning in the specific doctrinal tenants of Harrison's Hinduism. I say this with mixed feelings, since I am a Buddhist-Hindu and really enjoy a lot of his very doctrinal and propagandistic works. (True critics need to be human enough to "fall for things," even if they can be poked fun at artistically. In Harrison's case, his religion was a two-edged sword, it provided the inspiration and insight that made him a major and unique influence in the Anglo pop scene, but it also sometimes made him a bit sloppy and complacent.
Cloud specifically said in one interview that he did not want Cloud Nine to be dominated by spirituality, and he succeeded by having the album uplifted by his religion without it being heavy handed. (All that being said, I still like the heavy-handed stuff sometimes too.) The point is, in terms of the worldwide audience, Cloud Nine was perfect for absolutely mass consumption and platinum proportions while still retaining the great philosophical insights Harrison always benefitted from.
It also helps that he had the greatest backup band of all time. While George Harrison sang, played guitar and produced, he had Geoff Lynne coproduce and sing and play instruments, (he was the former create front-man for the Electric Light Orchestra who themselves had a massive career). Furthermore, on drums was his co-Beatle Ringo Starr. And if that weren't enough, Eric Clapton was the lead guitarist and Elton John was the Pianist (with regular contributions by Eighties Mega-Star, now often forgotten, Gary Wright). Given that backup band, it's hard to imagine how the album could go wrong.
Cloud Nine was a masterwork of marketing timing, producing, arranging, personnel management, spirituality and good old quality pop-rock. In some sense, given that Harrison had become a pretty successful film producer by then, in his own right, Cloud Nine probably represents the real Zenith of the solo career of Harrison, because, although All Things Must Pass will always remain the truly immortal work of Harrison's, it was still very much done in the supernova halo of the Beatles. Cloud Nine had proved with time and distance Harrison was a viable artist, and probably, the most important solo artist to come from the Beatles.
For a time it seemed that McCartney would have been by far the most important of the post-Beatles, however he fell far out of critical favor, and his solo work remains very dated and his following rather faded. Harrison fans hang on with a fervor that McCartney could not match. True, Double Fantasy represented a similar victory to Cloud Nine for John Lennon, a true breakout. And while Imagine remains Lennon's Immortal work, it too was also produced in the halo of the Beatles' recent breakup. Lennon's assassination may have prevented him from becoming the preeminent post-Beatle, since he said at the time of making Double Fantasy, that he felt like he'd just begun again and that "nothing's even been done yet."
La memoria aveva ragione, mi piace molto!
of all these factors, coupled with the infectious grooves and that the instant timeless sound sensibility - pop music has
hardly ever been better, - really! I guess you do not like me repeat my self but to be honest – in truth the rewarding nature of this album is that the laid back grooves do not contradict the professional sincerity of purpose I mentioned above. During this era Jeff was growing tired of the ELO project yet he was still a professional abd had the knack for creating stylish grooves and he had comittment to working hard with musical presentation. The ELO project had a long hiatus between 1986 and 2001 but in between Jeff Lynne worked hard toward refinements and sonic perfection. As music history would unfold later, George Harrison returned this favour by working on ”Armchair Theater” of 1990 and even appearing on ELO's Zoom, not to forget they also worked together in the Travelling Wilburies project.
Cloud 9 is a fluid, stellar and exquisite album The one problem I cam thimk is apparent with it so to speak, not to do with the actual content there in but people tend to overlooked because it is too associated with the hit single Got my mind set on you, which while being a hit single still does not present the appearing magic of what lies in between the the groovy, layered textures that becomes more appealing the more you listen to this album, yet it works from a very easy listen, as the album is very up front and accessible .
Many song have the direct ”Zing!” while more drawn back songs like Breath out of Heaven, still posess momentum but delievers it at later instance when they grow on you, taken on their own I am of the opinion that utterly true hit potential but the one stand out as afore mentioned is This is Love, also stricly musicaly speaking Harrson's slick sense of signature sound with the bending slide guitar is in abundance here and even some really fluid sitar sounds appear here, in the end of
When We Was Fab, everything is spectecualy well put on this album yes, it has a open-hearted aura around it through and through, Don't miss it. This was Harrison's last album before the post-humous Brain Washed also produced under Lynne's direction in 2002,
1987's Cloud Nine is a tough one for me. It certainly has some highs, but many of these, I feel, may have withered somewhat with age. The opening number - the title track - probably isn't the strongest start. It has an eerie, almost dark tone; and whilst packing a deceptively rambunctious beat, doesn't really get off the ground. Still, it passes quickly and is followed by 'That's What It Takes', an optimistic piece that's better. But still, in my opinion, hardly Harrison-worthy. 'Fish on the Sand' is a poppy throwaway but still catchy and infectious, even after several listens. 'Just For Today', much like 'Someplace Else' and 'Breath Away From Heaven' are mediocre slower ballads that, again, don't work up to much. But 'This Is Love' and 'When We Was Fab' show Harrison's more mature writing come through in the former, and everlasting Beatles smirk with the latter; proving highlights for the album. 'Devil's Radio' is possibly the record's magnum opus for me; a satirical outlook on TV with a catchy tune. 'Wreck of the Hesperus' is also pretty decent and 'Got My Mind Set On You' is a work of simplistic pop rock art for which Cloud Nine should be remembered. The bonus track 'Zig Zag' is a throwaway instrumental piece, and 'Shanghai Surprise' is catchy for all of, maybe, three listens. Like the film it was written for, hardly worth a second go.
There's some great stuff on here, but there's also some really tiringly low points; which is a shame for George. When I first heard this I thought it was amazing. But I realise that with age... it just doesn't endure like the rest of Harrison's solo work, perhaps.
Lead single: Got my mind set on you - a cover of a Rudy Clarke composition - US #1 & UK 2; gave George his biggest hit single for around a decade and a half.
With Jeff Lynne co-producing (the first such collaboration between the two) - he gives his trademark Beatley sound to several tracks: the tongue in cheek When we was fab,being a prime example.
George's guitar playing is of a consistently high standard throughout - most distinctive on 'This is love',by my (very good) ears and taste (cheeky).
With my serious head back on: there is no bad track on the album.the lyrics and sentiment on 'just for today' I, like a lot of people can relate to them,and George Harrison; on the sleeve notes explains this,as he does for other songs - eg: Cloud nine and Someplace else.these are a very good insight into the Cloud nine album experience.
A stellar cast of musicians contribute to the album: the aforementioned Jeff Lynne,along with; Ringo Starr,Eric Clapton,Elton John,Jim Keltner and Ray Cooper - and others.all playing real instruments on real songs,as George comments in his sleeve notes.
This 2004 remastered re-issue: includes two bonus tracks;Shanghai surprise and zig zag.both from the 'Handmade' film Shanghi surprise.the former sees George duetting with Madonna - no less,the latter is a half-hearted jazzy number,and quite catchy.
Cloud nine was well received by fans and critics alike,at time of release,and was the precursor to the Travelling wilburys supergroup,the following year.
A productive and exciting time,in the career of the legend that was and always will be George Harrison !
Ps: marvellous colour photo's of George Harrison (and friends),included in the booklet.
Pps: Cloud nine; possibly my third favourite George Harrison 'solo' album behind All things must pass and Living in the material world.(just for the record).
