Chord Of Love - Amazing Grace

Advantages: UNDERSTATED BRILLIANCE IN A CD
Disadvantages: ERM... DUNNO!

...'Amazing Grace' by Spiritualized. Is it, like some of its fellow overlooked LPs, dying on the musical vine, in the shadow of ' Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space'. The LP that made Spiritualized a name to be remembered and reckoned with. Jason and his band of soul searching villains have, since then, released a few LPs, as well as a greatest hits / obscurities compilation, which was all very well, and a 'Live @ The Royal Albert Hall' LP, they released 'Let It Come Down'. It was a great LP that subtly strayed from a tried and tested formula, involving an almost domineering keyboard sound, with Jason singing his heart out about the trials and tribulations of getting to a better place through the crap thrown your way after all the bad choices you've made...

Buckley covers 3 song on the album to make them sound completely different, and I feel that he does this extremely successfully. Both Buckley's songs, and the ones that he has... Read review

...Amazing Grace the album! ************************ Tracy and me have had this album for some time so I thought I should opinionate it. Now! I am definately not a religous guy (and nor is the missus,[she's a girl of course, just thought I'd clear that up] in case your wondering) in any sense of the word, but I do like gospel songs. And who could sing them better than Elvis Presley????. ( no-one I would wager.). So a few years ago we bought the Amazing Grace album by Elvis Presley. Got to be honest, we have always liked Elvis music (which I like to play on my guitar in the privacy of my house where think knowone can hear me,[ the missus (tracy by the way) thinks different] generally when I've had a few beers [ sad I know ].) Anyway (as I seem to be digressing from the point of this op!) to the album... Read review
