专辑介绍

by Ned Raggett

Almond's newest label jump resulted in what looked like an ideal creation on paper - two songs produced and cowritten by the Grid, the techno duo featuring Marc's Soft Cell collaborator Dave Ball, three more songs worked on with sole surviving Willing Sinner/La Magia member, keyboardist/orchestrator Billy McGee, and a mini-song cycle, the Tenement Symphony itself, produced by uber-studio wizard Trevor Horn. But did it work? Much like Enchanted, there's a little too much of Almond getting lost in rote synthdisco for comfort at points. But there are enough pluses to outweigh the minuses -- the opening &Meet Me in My Dream,& one of the Grid collaborations, is a beautiful start, equal to &The Stars We Are,& while the Symphony itself, though perhaps taking itself a bit too seriously as a conceit, has three solid singles to its credit -- a completely over-the-top (but what else to expect from Trevor Horn?) version of Jacques Brel's &Jacky,& the concluding &My Hand Over My Heart,& another sweep of the heartstrings dance ballad, and the surprise U.K. hit single of the bunch, the gentle and (for Horn) understated &The Days of Pearly Spencer,& another '60scover given the Almond treatment to good effect.
