Everyone must have heard of the fantastic "Strange and beautiful," that is featured on this album. It is by far Matt Hales' most popular and well known song. It has been featured on many a drama and advert. Including, Scrubs, the OC and the Volkswagen advert in 2002. I bought this album after hearing a couple of songs on his myspace - www.myspace.com/aqualung. From the first note, the music gripped me and relaxed me like no other album has. The name aqualung was taken from a Jethro Tull album, but it is particularly suitable, it describes the album, as the album certainly contains an underwater quality. By listening to the brilliant lyrics of songs, such as, "Brighter than Sunshine," you can see how the song had so much airplay in the top 40 in the USA.
Matt does most of the music by himself, producing the piano, beats and hauting vocals. He does, however, get some help from his brother Ben Hales and female vocalist, Kim Oliver. When you hear the songs, they will echo round your head for weeks. After hearing the album i couldnt help whistling them to myself frequently.
If you havent heard any of Aqualungs previous material. I would say it is similar to Elliott Smith. The spidery, haunting vocals are similar. I would strongly recommend purchasing this album as it is perfect to relax or even as background music. Also, the price shown is extremely good value for money.
The album has 11 songs, many ranging around the 4 minute mark. The only main criticism of the album is that sometimes, songs later in the album can be seen as similar to previous ones. Also, personally, i dont think i would listen to the whole album concentrated on the music, because i would become to relaxed!
In conclusion, i would recommend this to anyone that wants to relax and be uplifted. It is ful of positivity and will leave you smiling for days!
