Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
(Virgin VJCP-68668 Japan 2004 225:-)

RUBYCON has aged gracefully for the most part, making it a solid companion (and follow-up) to their 1974 album, PHAEDRA. The somewhat dated palette of sounds here never overshadow the mood: eerie psychedelia without the paisleys — Pink Floyd without the rock. "Rubycon, Pt. 1" ebbs and flows through tense washes of echo and Mellotron choirs, as primitive sequencer lines bubble to the surface.

Thompson, Richard & Linda - Hokey Pokey
(Universal UICY-9488 Japan 2004 175:-)

The Thompsons, from the opening Irish fiddle derivation of a Chuck Berry riff, through Linda's exquisite performance of "A Heart Needs a Home," to their cover of Mike Waterson's "Mole in a Hole" which closes the record, once again create a timeless amalgam of folk and rock. Recorded at the time of the Thompsons' conversion to Islam, Hokey Pokey comes across a bit lighter than Bright Lights. Songs such as the playfully suggestive title track, the jaunty "Georgie on a Spree" and the quirky tale of "Smiffy's Glass Eye" make Hokey Pokey seem downright cheery for Richard Thompson, although even at its sunniest, themes of sex, cruelty and avarice linger just below the surface.

Thompson, Richard & Linga - Pour Down like Silver
(Universal UICY-9489 Japan 2004 175:-)

POUR DOWN LIKE SILVER was the last album Richard & Linda Thompson would release before beginning a self-imposed three-year retirement in order to join a communal Sufi Muslim sect. The cover photographs show the Thompsons dressed in traditional Muslim garb, and while lyrically the album offers few clear signs of the Thompsons' new spiritual direction, the stark asceticism of the music marked a real change from the alcohol-fueled mood swings of I want to see the BRIGHT LIGHTS TONIGHT and HOKEY POKEY. The horns, accordion, and ancient instruments that had dotted Richard and Linda's previous albums were used far more sparingly on POUR DOWN LIKE SILVER, and even Thompson's usually astounding electric guitar solos were pared down in favor of an emotionally intimate, bare-wired approach that sounds alternately like a confession and a plea for guidance.
