What a trip.
I'd heard the name of Neil Young before, though, I'd never listened to his music. And this was such an interesting slow burn clash for me. At first I wasn't so much attracted by the calm, mature, melancholic, "countryish" acoustic atmosphere, even when I enjoyed the melodies, specially in "My my, Hey hey". But then, After listening the full album, something made sense. Then, by listening carefully, and genuinely appreciating every element, including the lyrics, it hit me hard.
Interesting. I can't deny that in terms of sound and atmosphere It is captivating, nevertheless I think It's a little lifeless in terms of emotion, and even when experimental It's kind of academic. Not the best of Bowie, but important.
Relaxed, ironic and reflexive. I understand now why they call him 'the voice' of that generation. Even tho it's not really my sound, I like his lyrics and the way he is 'publically intimate'
Unique. Like a breath of fresh air. It's a deep intimate long conversation with her and her collaborators at 3 am drinking in a club in New York. It's amazing.
I love it! It's all about movement, It's life itself. It's harmoniuous, delicious, rich and varied. It's being in the ocean, hearing and seeing the waves of sound. Marvelous.
As I generally enjoy The Doors' sound, I enjoyed this album as well. Even if I didn't feel to connect as much with it as I did with others, I still liked the particular sound choices and the vibe in this.
I can only image the amount o music projects that have fed from this album, and yet I can name a bunch of them that immediately came to my mind immediately after listening to the firs two songs. I liked this album so much. I'd never heard of T.REX before, but my first impression on this was immediate. I loved the slow yet light cadency of cosmic dancer, emotional and yet not melancholic. The funk of mambo sun and Bang a Gong, the intimacy in girl' and the general sound of the album, so outstanding. I enjoyed this discovery so much.
