Synopsis

Product Description
Antony & The Johnsons emerged on the international stage in 2005 with their breakthrough "I Am A Bird Now." His first new material since 2006 is a prelude to the new full-length, "The Crying Light", coming in January 2009. Of the project, Antony said, "I wanted to mark this moment very clearly in my life. I love and feel so anchored by the natural world, which gave birth to me, which supplies and supports my life, this experience of color and light and aching beauty. But the world is changing so fast now. 'Another World' is a song for the present but also a song for the future. What have I lost? And what is to come?"

CD Reviews

Nothing less than absolutely stunning
T. Cook | louisville, ky United States | 10/15/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"i was worried that he may not be able to pull it off again; boy, was i ever wrong...! this music is just as stunning as the music on his previous releases. a mood is set within seconds of starting the cd: there's a dark serenity and a melancholy beauty in this music.

nothing has stopped me dead in my tracks like "shake that devil" since "hope there's someone" from his previous release. a full-length release from antony and the johnsons early next year is truly something to anticipate.

Antony really makes "Another World"

"Antony goes great one more time!! In spite other reviews, I give this album a five stars rate. I think, first of all, he doesn't repeats himself. And at the same time he keeps on the same line he has been working since "I'm A Bird Now", or maybe before, since "I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy". It is full of something I'll call "religious" or "mystical" taste. Makes sense since the this and the next LP "The Crying Light" is dedicated to the Japanese butoh artist Kazuo Ohno.



The song "Another World" introduces us to something near gospel, music and lyrics. A very deep and beautiful tune. "Crackagen" it is also a slow ballad. Both sad and joyful. Then comes "Shake That Devil", which for me seems to be one of Antony's greatest songs. Very mystical! This piece's lyrics takes us to a battle within evil forces in a medieval or renaissance way. A song about Fight and Resistance. "Sing For Me" goes back to some sounds from Antony's "I'm A Bird Now". Nice tune. Ends up with "Hope Mountain". Also remains me other tunes, but at the same time, connects with the first song of the album. Deep and sensitive.



Antony keeps his great taste for music and words. Changes, but in a good way. And if you get the LP record, you'll see a beautiful white vinyl, and a bonus coupon to download the 5 songs from the EP."
Exactly what I thought it would be

"This effort by Antony et.al., as with their other work, provides a refreshing deviation from most of the stagnant crap that's out there today. A couple more tracks would have been nice."
