Music reviews of Best Years of Our Lives
Music Review: Singular man-(if you like bowie or kinks- you may like this)
Rating: 4 Stars
Steve Harley doesn't seem to be too famous here in the states, but he comes up in references through his music such as Mr. Soft being used in a TV commercial or Sebastain which was on the soundtrack of the movie Velvet Goldmine. I highly recommed people looking into this music- it has all the flair and intelligence of a Ray Davies (kinks) or David Bowie but with his own unique vision....This was Steve Harley's third album after the sophisticated albums of Human Managerie (which I hear will be re-issued on cd in due time) and Psychomodo. This was a bit of a departure from his first two with more of a thought towards a mainstream sound. That isn't to say that this album is anywhere close to sounding mainstream though. Infact, the song writing is fantastic and fun and the word play is as clever as ever- it seemed that he was keeping in step with the progress of co-glam rockers Bowie and Roxy Music- Bowie by this time had moved far from the Ziggy Stardust persona and into Diamond Dogs and Young Americans and Roxy Music recorded Sirens before going on hiatus.
As on the Psychomodo, Alan Parsons (of Beatles and Pink Floyd fame as well as the "Alan Parsons Project" (ode to Austin Powers)) came in to helm the sound boards; and as always because of Parsons masterful technical ability the sound is emaculant.
The overall feel of the album could border on romantic but mischievious and of course a bit strange. there aren't any duds in the bunch and the performances are inspired- I recommend this only if you've listened to Psychomodo and liked it- obviously this music is singular and isn't for everyone; but if you like David Bowie, or the Kinks I think you enjoy this.
