Quieter, more introspective, and a bit more bluesy than Hall & Oates - more like the Fripp-produced Peter Gabriel album in many ways. The best tracks are those where Fripp takes the lead, such as the quiet soundscape of "The farther away I am". If your friend has "Exposure" he/she will already know Urban Landscape/NYCNY, which is also on this album. > > I finally checked Wikipedia, which says I share a birthday on Oct. 27 Is this a good time to mention that I finally enrolled as a Wikipedian, and have been contributing madly for the last week or so?

What to do, what to do... Support Robyn. Take a chance... Full Moon In My Soul is worth the price alone. I would suggest buying at least two copies. It's so good that someone, probably someone you love, is going to take the first one away from you. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2004 20:38:23 -0400 From: bisontentacle Subject: rolling stone spooked review (scroll down a bit...) Robyn Hitchcock Spooked (Yep Roc) Spooked is textbook Robyn Hitchcock: off the wall and very pretty. Yet it veers from his previous work because collaborators Gillian Welch and producer David Rawlings are back-to-the-roots Americana types who know how to strip songs to their essences, and when to add dobros and other touches one doesn't normally hear on Hitchcock discs. Sometimes Hitchcock's verbal visions seem inspired by A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- alternately convoluted and nonsensical, and right on target. He drapes politics in a veil of dreamy melody on "If You Know Time," but there's no mistaking the clarity of this line: "And the war that's coming, setting good guys against good, it's always a good cause, you fight because you should. You can cut them down like weeds, but you'll never make them love you." Hitchcock occasionally lapses into self-indulgence, but the gorgeous simplicity on the Dylan cover "Tryin' to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door" redeems any transgressions.
