Long time since I've listened to Alex Harvey and this CD caught my eye when out shopping. Brought back some memories. His music has an enjoyable rawness and energy.
Hi Def, Awesome!

It sometimes seems as if England's the Boxer Rebellion sets out with the same admirably ambitious goal every time they make an album: they clearly want to make the grandest, most sweeping and emotionally engaging collection of songs they can muster. 2011's The Cold Still was one of their finest moments, and it seemed difficult to imagine the band topping it. With 2013's Promises, the Boxer Rebellion have once again delivered a set of yearning rock anthems, full of searing romanticism and brooding atmosphere, and the release ranks as one of their best. Working with producerBilly Bush, the band let go of their longstanding love of organic analog recording in favor of a more adventurous, sonically crisp sound. The result is that Promises has a vibrant, wide-angle lens perfectly suited to the band’s buoyant lyricism and guitar rock uplift. Tracks like the lead-off "Diamonds" and the sparkling "Keep on Moving" frame lead singerNathan Nicholson's gentle yet impassioned vocals with driving drum beats and layers of delayed and processed guitars that build slowly to each song’s emotional climax. Elsewhere, cuts like “Always” and "Take Me Back" mix percussive, electronic, dance-influenced beats with '80s new wave-influenced melodies. These are songs that have a cinematic quality, each one feeling eerily as if you’ve heard it in a film. This immediate, imagistic quality means that the songs stick with you long after you’ve heard them, and as the title implies, with Promises, the Boxer Rebellion never let you down.

A superb live album IMHO. What a lesson to be learned for our modern day reliance on grandiose stage shows; this guy captivated an amphitheatre with nothing more than twinkle in his blue eye's and a set of superbly crafted songs. i remember when Rick Rubin finished working with Johnny Cash he said he only wanted to work with one more artist, Neil Diamond, and this album shows why.
A superb rock album. On CD.
Hi Def, Awesome!
Hmmm. That's a good thought. Might dig out some MJ stuff later. His music was always very well recorded too.
