#Felt poem of the river rar series
This gorgeously-produced series explores the work of one of the greatest indie groups in recent memory. Tim Sendra.īoomkat Product Review:Following the release of FELT’s first five albums in February, the band’s reissue campaign continues with the second half of their discography'During the ‘80s Felt recorded ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels. As it stands, Poem of the River is a minor Felt album but still one worth discovering, because - despite the flaws - it's still Lawrence and it's still Felt. The songs are there and Lawrence sets aside all the cool detachment of the past, putting his heart into his vocals, but the production team let the band down painfully and it's almost enough to sink what could have been a really impressive follow-up to Forever Breathes the Lonely Word.
#Felt poem of the river rar windows
'Stained Glass Windows in the Sky' has some of the jaunty jangle that made the previous album so great, the first half of 'She Lives by the Castle' is darkly beautiful (the second half is overshadowed by an endless organ solo), and the lengthy 'Riding on the Equator' is the record's highlight, with Lawrence's desperate vocals, the spiraling guitar solos, and the sweeping organ coming together to dredge up some epic emotions. The overdone production doesn't always match up with the lyrics or Lawrence's stark vocals, but when it comes together the results can be heart-wrenchingly beautiful. He taps into serious defiance on the explosive 'Declaration,' details a love affair gone cold on the majestic 'She Lives by the Castle,' and struggles with isolation and loss on the rest of the album.

Lawrence's songs are drawn from a deep, dark place within the singer's psyche and he sings them in a simple, unadorned fashion that feels blindingly honest. Poem of the River's treasures may be tricky to unearth, but they are worth the effort. That being said, even while operating at about 75% of their potential, Felt were still working at a higher level than almost every other band at the time. Working with Mayo Thompson as producer may not have been the best choice taking the songs to Robin Guthrie (who had done a less than stellar job for them in the past) was even worse. Martin Duffy's organ rides too high in the mix, the guitars tend to disappear at inopportune times, and Lawrence's vocals are often buried. Short at only six tracks, the songs don't come together as magically as they did previously and the album feels fragmented, as if someone got halfway through the mixing process and gave up.
