Now And Forever - Eternal

Advantages: Beautiful Chill out music.
Disadvantages: You may not listen to anything else- ever!

...Jack Johnson, just the romantic thought of one man with surf board in one hand, guitar in the other. blissfully he sings with delicate ease, his subjects love and life, surfing and relaxing by the beach. An eternally beautiful record, well crafted songs and a far stretch from the morose downbeat music which can be plied in modern day recording. With friends such as Ben Harper and a blinding performance at the Brits where he single handedly managed to out shine the might Prince armed with only his guitar and the excellent songs he sings. A new record available now, In between dreams is the start of a very bright productive career. Buy now or forever hang your head in shame. A must own to any experienced music lover. Resistance is futile.... Read review

...Always and Forever is the original Eternal from 1993, released a while before Louise left the group for that footy player. In my opinion, they were better as four. I first layed hands on this album when I, um, borrowed it from my brother. I liked bopping around to it so I decided to pinch it for myself. He didn't care cause he got it free anyway, and he's an indie bloke. It's got a distinctly poppy feel to it, with a touch of R&B. Definitely good for a dance. Thirteen tracks, and the bonus 14th, a gospel version of the well known hymn, 'Amazing Grace'. It's basically a love song album, apart from the last. This album doesn't especially stand out in my collection, but all round, it's okay.... Read review
