The Beloved's Conscience

"For the Beloved's 1993 album, "Conscience," group frontman Jon Marsh parted ways with musical partner Steve Waddington, and taking Waddington's place was Jon Marsh's wife, Helena, who co-wrote all of the songs with Marsh, and co-produced the album as well (though she doesn't play or sing on it). With the aid of some session musicians & backing vocalists, "Conscience" finds the Beloved turning up the heat a few decibels---this is a very sultry, erotic synth-pop album that will surely get you and your significant other "in the mood," with Marsh's breathy lead vocals the perfect compliment to the music. My favorite tracks include the sexy "Sweet Harmony," the galactic atmospheres of "Outerspace Girl," Marsh tempting his lover with "Lose Yourself In Me," the graceful "You've Got Me Thinking," and the dreamscapes of "Celebrate Your Life" and "1000 Years From Today." Only the seven-minute track, the mostly-instrumental "Paradise Found," drags on a bit (if you know my reviews, you know I like long songs just fine, but "Paradise Found" could've used a little bit of editing, I think). But other than that, the Beloved's "Conscience" is, in a word, heavenly."

There is some amazing music on this disc!

"I worked for a dance club in college, and Outerspace Girl was a favorite among dj's. There are other songs on the album that are amazing, but this song is really my favorite. There's just something about it that puts you in better mood, every time. I absolutely love it!"
