Good call Dark Jazzor. Astral Weeks or this are my favourite Van Morrison albums. Thanks for reminding me to dig it out again when I get home tonight. Such a great track. Peace
Glad people are enjoying it. I think Veedon Fleece is my personal favourite although Astral Weeks is also an amazing album not far behind. I like this comment from an old John Kennedy review of it:
"Veedon Fleece is a poet's album, a jazz lover's album, a masterpiece of soul-singing, a blue and green journey into the places of the heart that were first opened up for dowsing with Astral Weeks. Baudelaire said, "we can call 'beautiful' only that which suggests the existence of an ideal order; supra-terrestrial, harmonious and logical that yet bears within itself, like the brand of an original sin, the drop of poison, the rogue element of incoherence, the grain of sand that will foul up the entire system." This album contains all of Baudelaire's definition of beauty. "
All the tracks posted are available for a short time and are for evaluation purposes only. This site is simply here to share music that I like with people who might never have heard it before and I fully support these artists by buying their work. If you like something on here, please go out and buy it. If you're the artist (or represent the artist) and you don't like it being here, please let me know and I shall remove it.
