"I enjoyed listening to it but despite all compliments like consistency, bravery of shifting music style or mellow songs, the conclusive point is that there isn't any big deal about the album."  Reply

"Royal Mail Ship Titanic was comprised of nine decks and three million rivets, fitted with a total of 29 boilers which fed two reciprocating steam engines and one low-pressure turbine that allowed the ship to reach speeds of up to 21 knots at a staggering length of just under 883 feet from bow to ...""Royal Mail Ship Titanic was comprised of nine decks and three million rivets, fitted with a total of 29 boilers which fed two reciprocating steam engines and one low-pressure turbine that allowed the ship to reach speeds of up to 21 knots at a staggering length of just under 883 feet from bow to stern. She required three years to complete and her hardware was (and in many ways still is) a miracle of science and sat comfortably at the pinnacle of technological advancement when it first launched from Southampton in April of 1912. Her luxury accommodations and various architectural adornments were equally unrivaled and positioned Titanic as a mobile, sparkling rendezvous which out-twinkled the finest hotels of the stationary variety. Her promenade deck was surely the most winsome, featuring a myriad of ornamental configurations whose inspirations date as far back as the Renaissance Era. It was a structural phenomenon and a major artery of artistic design allowing the blood of inspiration to flow and provide oxygen to dreams. In hindsight, it became the most appropriate locale for an ending of tragic, Shakespearian proportions. How do you successfully compartmentalize and synthesize her indominable aura and legacy into a 25-minute piece of art? Or, better yet, does one even try? Henry James Beauchamp, 28, 2nd Class Dorothy Sage, 14, 3rd Class Thomas Andrews, Naval Architect, 39, 1st Class When Gavin Bryars first enrolled at Sheffield University, his primary focus of study was philosophy, which no doubt engrained within him an acute perspective, optimal for when the eventual transition into music beckoned. He began his ever-evolving, sonic trek by dabbling in the world of jazz, employing the upright bass as his instrument of choice, first traditionally, then tinted with a sheen for the avant-garde. Like many visionaries, his taste for the conventional soon withered, as did his interest towards playing. It wasn't until a move abroad that his artistic sensibilities would come into full focus. He briefly studied under the minimalist icon, John Cage, and rapidly gained an esteem for the uncolored edges of sonic exploration. He returned to England soon after to pursue a teaching role at Portsmouth College of Fine Art. Here, he would pen his most significant and enduring work, a monument as much as it is a marvel, firmly in tune with the ship it honored. Jack Phillips, Marconi Wireless Operator, 25, Crew Augusta Charlotta Lindblom, 45, 3rd Class Henry Michael Mitchell, 71, 2nd Class Titanic was equipped with 16 watertight bulkheads, ones that fatally didn't rise above D deck. This caused the unimaginable amount of water rushing in, as a result of the 300-foot gash which parted her double hull, to spill over each of these watertight compartments in succession, dragging Titanic's bow underneath the waterline. The promenade deck, once grounds for regalia and soirees, would soon be a scene of hysteria and stampede for the better portion of two hours and forty minutes. Despite the myth, Titanic's marketing never brandished an "unsinkable" moniker, but her inexorable descent into the icy Atlantic remains a chilling exemplar of nature's dominion over the impudence of man. As dinner jackets, newly-molded china and suitcases in abundance homogenized with the sea, in congruence to the legend, Titanic's orchestra played until they were submerged in order to calm their terrified fellow men and women. 57 years onward, Gavin Bryars would use this symphonic motif as the basis for his masterpiece. Salli Helena Rosblom, 2, 3rd Class Henriette Yvois, 24, 2nd Class Toufik Nakhli, 17, 3rd Class Bryars originally planned for 'The Sinking of the Titanic' to be purely conceptual and free of the limitations that a tangible performance would provide. Nevertheless, Bryars eventually performed the piece in 1972 with its first revision surfacing in 1975. It's often viewed as an open work, consistently subject to re-toolings and re-imaginings, yet, the conceptual framework stays intact, akin to the still majestic, but ghostly shipwreck located 12,500 feet from the trough of the waves. Bryars was intrigued by the peculiar concept of how the orchestral sounds of Titanic's players would locomote when rendered subaqueous. Put simply, how would they sound if they were able to play until they met the ocean floor? As the music would theoretically distort, morph and provide a very divergent timbre, the reverberating sound waves would serve as one final sonic footnote, a siren song and elegy for the once mighty ship to be accompanied by during its final descent. Using the hymn 'Autumn' by Barthélemon as a skeleton, a piece present during the sinking by witness testimony (though more likely ‘Songe d’Autumne’ by Archibald Joyce), Bryars translated his initial theory into classical composition. The first rework was featured as the inaugural release in a decet of albums on the Brian Eno-founded label 'Obscure Records' in 1975. On it, Bryars plays a dual role of conductor and pianist, as he captains a weighty, solemn procession shepherded by strings which sound as if they have been in use since 1912 and keys befitting a piano in a dilapidated chateau which strike heavily and originate from a floor above and two rooms over. There's a pulsating hum which envelopes the piece in its entirety that aims to simulate the water's annulments which results in a shadowy, yet tranquil experience that furnishes an idea of a bleak, yet dignified acceptance of death. This assimilation into liquid continues for nearly a half hour, broken only briefly by the attestations from survivor Eva Hart, when finally, the damp resonance ceases from a place below and no longer in sight. It is, without hesitation, a triumph of aural intention and realization which offers consistent treasures upon re-visitation. Engelhart Cornelius Ostby, 64, 1st Class Eric Rice, 7, 3rd Class Emil Christmann, 29, 3rd Class The record's B-Side has received acclaim and has carved out a place of reverence in its own right. 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' is less an art project and more of a humanistic observation set to music. Anchored by an audio sample of a destitute reaffirming his allegiance to God, the song is fairly more traditional than the title track, save for the inclusion of minute escalations in the instrumentational flow. The set of players return from 'Sinking' and the musical coloring remains unaltered as they craft another circular, albeit less oxidizing auditory space. Swelling strings coalesce into a autonomous power source only halting for a brief moment as plucked guitar strings dance above them as if they were native to a nautical lullaby. Its relationship with the former track isn't directly analogous, yet it does occupy emblematic territory. It doesn't strain one's imagination to make the connection that it could resemble the last words of an inebriated passenger, life jacket-clad and clinging to debris, requesting absolution in the face of the impending hereafter. Bryars' composition expertly paints a portrait of a regretless sage singing to the starless night, kept warm in the glassy waters by faith alone, defiant in the face of 'Titanic's colossal vortex. Aloisia Haas, 24, 3rd Class Arthur Webster Newell, 58, 1st Class Captain Edward Smith, 62, Crew Who could have imagined, as the collective stood on Titanic's port side in anticipation of her maiden voyage, the kind of lightning rod the steamer would become for art, literature, music and film? It's easy to forget, while some had their personal effects taken to their room and others were being checked for lice, that the ship that would carry both subsets, man and woman, rich and poor, was made of iron. It was, at the time, an inanimate object with the sole purpose of passage. Now, it's a ghost, a shadow and a vivid memory in the minds of those who never walked her decks. It lies at 41°43′57′′ N 49°56′49′′ W. Today, with modern technology, we can view what remains of the vessel. You'd swear you could see it breathe, iron and all. Even if it wasn't 'Nearer My God to Thee', the truth endures, Titanic's musicians played to the end. We can only hope it sounded this beautiful. Standout Tracks: 1. The Sinking of the Titanic 2.

Sounding like a monster hybrid of Chvrches, Beach House, Dillon, Melody's Echo Chamber and latter-day Bjork, this should be a sappy, ungainly mess, but for such a young band they show a remarkable grasp of all the seemingly incongrunt material and make something special by meshing the more direct and lush-ly poppy songs with soundscapes that are much more languid & surreally psychedeliac (or Hypogenic, I guess, fellow kids). A lovely, surprisingly affable special-seashell that keeps getting better with each listen. "  [+]  Reply

He was working on it till close to his death in November 2001. It was finished and co-priduced by friend and producer Jeff Lynne, and the sound is quite similar to their previous collaborations in the Travelling Wilburys and George`s "Cloud Nine" album. George`s son Dhani also played a big part on the album. Even though it is sad that George is no longer among us, it is actually a very uplifting album. Many of the songs are on level with George's very best work. Lyrically it's a very moving and mature album. The optimistic "Any Road" opens the albums and set the mood from the beginning. Great catchy country tune with George on his charateristic slide guitar. "P2 Vatican Blues" sounds a lot like a Wilbury song; also a very good track. "Pisces Fish" is an outstanding song; great melody with thoughful lyrics. Somehow it reminds me of Donovan at his best. "Looking For My Life" in spite of the upbeat tune, this is George looking back well aware that he may not have many days left to live. Songs 5-9 are all good songs, though not outstanding by Harrison's standards "Marwa Blues" is a quiet instrumental The charming "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" featuring George on ukulele and Jools Holland om piano is the next highlight. "Rocking Chair in Hawaii" is blues-song and a little atypical for George, but a fine track too. The finale and title track is by far the most complex track. George's inspiration from Indian culture and music shines through here; lyrically George comments on how everybody claims to have all the answers, and how it's often hard to think for yourself about what really matters in life. This clearly one of Harrison's best albums; maybe only second to "All Things Must Pass". https://www.angelfire.com/nv/Badfinger/BANDgeorgeharrison.html"  [+]  Reply
