Music reviews of Catch the Fall
Music Review: An admirable if uneven album
Rating: 5 Stars
I have to agree with other reviewers who have commented about the way this disc falls into two parts: the popscapes of songs like "Shining" and "Second Sight" and then the gorgeous artistry of the title track, "Host to the Holy", "My Winter" and the wonderful "Pushing the River." Whilst the other tracks are catchy and enjoyable, they fail to maintain the intensity established on the album opener, "Catch the Fall".
I must comment on the occasionally uncanny resemblance between the singing voice of Steve Jansen to that of his brother David Sylvian - although Steve's voice is certainly sweeter, by and large than David's hefty new-romantic croon.
As to the songs themselves, "Catch the Fall" is simply brilliant, a song that will appeal to any self-respecting Sylvian/Japan/Rain Tree Crow/Mick Karn fan. The wailing solo in the middle of the song and the ethereal vocals/bittersweet lyrics - "Falling down/Without a sound/It must be this summer that never ends" - suggest a classic set of songs. Sadly it isn't quite so. In fact, its not until "Pushing the River" that the searing intensity of "Catch the Fall" is matched, although "My Winter" is suitably icy - a nice piece of tone painting, and "Host to the Holy" has interesting lyrics and a great double bass solo. But "Pushing the River" is a super track - certainly pop-tinged but also marked by polyrhythms and punchy brass (or mayhap that's synth-brass - doesn't matter it sounds good regardless!) and a catchy chorus: "I walk the days/Until the rain came pouring, pouring down again/Why do I need miracles/To see you?"
Anyways: the songs that don't hit the mark are much much better than OK, and the very good sngs don't just hit a bullseye, they supercede it - hence the rating. Enjoy.
