Music reviews of Cloud Nine

Music Review: fine album with George in spectacular form
Rating: 5 Stars

This remastered recording of George Harrison's Cloud Nine is one of the best in my collection. George is in excellent form here and these numbers stayed in my mind ever since I first heard them. I am impressed with George's creativity; and he worked wonders on this album with some of his peers including Elton John, Eric Clapton and former Beatle band mate Ringo Starr. The quality of the sound on this CD is, as you would expect, nothing short of excellent and I like that they used that cover art.

The CD starts with Harrison performing the title track, "Cloud Nine." He sounds great and the music fits perfectly with his vocals. The percussion, electric guitar and drums all connect to make up a good deal of the musical arrangement and it all holds its own very well. "That's What It Takes" is another striking number; I like the way George plays with key modulations to make this quite strong. George delivers this without ever letting go of a superfluous note and that's pretty impressive. The drums, electric guitar and more make for some mighty fine music as George sings the lyrics; I love it!

"Fish on the Sand" speeds up the tempo a bit for a change of pace that lacks nothing--this music is all THAT good. "Just For Today" is a touching ballad that George Harrison delivers faultlessly; as some have noted it is songs like this that prove George could write a melancholy tune that is obviously on the same level or better than The Beatles' "Yesterday." "This Is Love" has a great flavor to it and it was always one of my very favorite songs on this album; and I really like "When We Was Fab." "When We Was Fab" has an excellent arrangement that makes it powerful and quite poignant. "When We Was Fab" is clearly one of the best tunes George Harrison ever turned out after he left The Beatles; and just one listen proves it. "Devil's Radio" has George outdoing even himself as he sings this to perfection--and beyond! "Devil's Radio" is yet another gem on this CD.

"Someplace Else" lets George sing a most passionate song; the melancholy ache that permeates this song makes it moving and in its own way very beautiful. The music that plays fits perfectly with George's vocals; but the others let George's singing remain squarely in the spotlight which is right where he'll always belong. The backup singing enhances the song--not that George Harrison ever really needed backup but they do sound pretty good anyway. "Wreck of the Hesperus" has a rockin' feel to it that I enjoy every time I hear this number; and "Breath Away From Heaven" uses the percussion, drums and more to great advantage as George sings wonderfully.

"Got My Mind Set on You" is an excellent number all around; this really made the airwaves sizzle when it was released back in the day! There's also "Shanghai Surprise" which was written for a movie with Sean Penn and Madonna that didn't play too long in movie theaters; and the CD ends very well with George Harrison performing "Zig Zag." "Zig Zag" has a great feel to it and it's rather catchy, too. "Zig Zag" is a terrific way to end this CD.

George Harrison lives on through his music; and this remastered CD is a must for his fans. It also makes a great starter CD if you're just getting into the artistry of George Harrison. He remains a giant amongst giants.
