Music reviews of Boris & Ian Astbury
Music Review: it made my morning
Rating: 5 Stars
How come reviews for this awesome e.p. aren't flooding this and other sites? I mean, Boris is sort of undergroundish, that's for sure... but Ian Atsbury is or used to be a bona-fide rock star, so where are the fans and the real detractors?! C'mon, people, this guy sang for the Doors not too long ago, and he's penned some mighty fine songs with his love 'em/hate 'em group, The Cult... which back in the day sold millions of copies worldwide.. could it be the gods in charge of the Dept. of Cosmic and Poetic Justice have died a horrible and lonely death?
Ok, whatever: right now i'm hung over, and that might explain the semi-psychedelic state i'm in. don't have the time to pause and ponder the sources or causes, BUT i swear i just had a quasi-mystical experience listening to this batch of songs. it is indeed one of the best e.p.'s ever. Atsbury is in fine form, and my eyes swelled with tears listening to the lyrics he wrote for 'teeth and claws' and 'magickal child': yes the forest has seen my sorrows, and yes, i do hope the animals (not the band haha) save us, even if that means the end of my life or even of our overrated, exploitative human species... and their cover of 'rain' is superb. ironically,Ian is absent form that particular song, and the vocals are handled by Wata, Boris' guitar player. her voice is so frail and tender that it could be almost comical, but the overall effect is nothing short of otherworldly, even eerie, uncanny. and you gotta love the song's ending, you know, that small, ghostly voice singing a capella: 'heel comes de lain'! pure genius... and fear not, the music's pure Boris: heavy, waaay noisy, and waaaaaaaay catchy. get it so that this line-up can go on tour opening for, say, Metallica or something big, just like when i saw The Cult open for those former gods of mine back in '89! the masses need to be enlightened, me thinks... over and out.
