The Best of Van Morrison, Vol. 2»rank: 33513by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Compiled by Morrison himself, this 1993 collection focuses mainly on his work from 1984-1991. Representing a period during which Morrison scored very few popular hits, the majority of the record's 15 tracks are probably fairly obscure to people other than diehard fans. Nevertheless, this is a vital introduction to Morrison's later, more idiosyncratic material. Many of the songs are marked by an intense, spiritual longing and deal on a very mature level with Morrison's quest for religious fulfillment. For ...

Down the Road»rank: 30519by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :2OO2 album with 2 UK bonus tracks added 'Evening Shadows' & 'Fast Train'. :Van Morrison's childhood was steeped in American music, in part because he grew up the son of a rabid collector of classic jazz and R&B records. Morrison's infatuation with the music understandably led to the raucous, blues-rooted performances of Them and his early solo records, but it also inspired his long, oft-misunderstood journey to find music more spiritually and geocentrically rooted. This inviting, if typically ...

Inarticulate Speech of the Heart»rank: 20153by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Unavailable in the U.S.! 2OO8 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the Rock icon featuring two bonus tracks: alternate takes of 'Cry For Home' and 'lnarticulate Speech 0f The Heart No.2'. First released in 1983, this is another underrated gem in the catalogue that again ruffled the feathers of Rock critics: this was clearly not a `Pop' album (four of the 11 tracks are instrumentals) but a mellow, deeply spiritual, soulful album. The center-piece is ...

Days Like This»rank: 54977by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :ln an era when most old rock stars are left to recycle their greatest hits for megatours and MTV Unplugged, it's refreshing to know that Van Morrison still pours on all the originality and wit he had when he made Moondance. 0n Days Like This, Morrison continues his lifelong exploration of the human psyche, offering up highly entertaining and danceable (yes, danceable!) tunes about everything from love to manic depression. As always, Morrison's vocals rumble along through intelligent lyrics, ...

Beautiful Vision»rank: 16470by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion:Album Details:Digitally Remastered Edition of 0ne of the Man's Most Beautfiul Albums, Highlighted by 'she Gives Me Religion', 'vanlose Stairway', the Soulful 'beautiful Vision' and the Concert Favorite 'cleaning Windows'. The Addition of Mark lsham in the Band Helped Make the 0verall Sound Ethereal and Cosmic. :This 1982 sleeper captures Van Morrison banking the fires of his more urgent, R&B-flavored '7Os classics to sculpt a quieter, contemplative synthesis laced with Celtic flourishes, minimalist synthesizers, and the skeletal horn charts ...

Avalon Sunset»rank: 31316by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :When R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe wrote 'That's me in the spotlight / Losing my religion,' he could have been singing about Van Morrison, the man who lost his three times within a decade. ln the end, though, Van returned to Christ and found himself rewarded with his first British Top 2O hit. With its sparse piano hook and Cliff Richard's guest vocals, 'Whenever God Shines His Light' is a misleading beginning for an album awash in the kind of sentimental ...

The Philosopher's Stone»rank: 9761by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :For an artist's most devout fans, a peek at the sketches can speak volumes about the final canvas, and that's the merit behind this two-CD compilation of shelf tracks and alternate takes from Van Morrison's 1971-1988 studio output. The Philosopher's Stone favors his core instincts as a blues-based writer and arranger, its 3O songs dominated by shuffles and slow-burning blues with excursions into more gospel-lined melodies and some ripe experiments in funk. Collectors will welcome pristine versions of 'Crazy ...
