Dear Heather

Post by peter danielsen »

I did not like it much in the beginning, but this album is wonderful to swim into with a bottle of good red wine

With a drink in your hand? ;-)

Sounds credible!

So glad to see you beginning to appreciate it, Peter. I've always loved it.

I'd love it if you'd both tell me what you love about it.

There are lots of songs I really like on it (especially The Letters, The Faith and Nightingale, though I prefer the version of the latter on Anjani's album), and I love To a Teacher, but it's the only one of his albums I don't like as an album, taken all together. (Even DOALM has a certain in-your-face angry integrity, in its own way.) And some of the instrumentation is just weird. Both Undertow and On That Day are really good songs wrecked by bizarre instrumentation, in my view.

What am I missing?
