CD Reviews

Breathless

H. Moric | Chicago | 09/27/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A satisfying album. The mood on every Cave album differs, however, this one follows in the steps of Nocturama where it is more upbeat, yet mellow and a bit restrained. The mellow songs are excellent, perfect tunes to relax or chill-out to on a beautiful day.

Breathless has got to be my favorite, a very melodic, happy, acoustic tune...if only more of those were present (even though I believe this song has been lying around in some format or another for years, a [gloomy] version of it was performed with Kylie a few years back).

Although the heavier tunes are solid (Get Ready For Love, There She Goes..), it sometimes seems as if the band is just banging away mindlessly on their instruments. The [heavier] melodies aren't as sweet as they used to be. Nevertheless, you cannot go wrong with purchasing this album. Mr. Cave has still got it (praise the Lord!)."
