Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars An Unusual Sound, Similar to Gabriel at His Best.......2001-09-06

Rupert Hine's albums from the early 1980s contain some of my favorite music of all time. Hine managed to be unconventional enough to be truly original, while retaining enough musicality to avoid the trap of being too experimental. If I had to compare Rupert Hine's work to any other artist, I would have to say it is most similar to Peter Gabriel's 1980 album (Peter Gabriel [3], "Melting"), though the lyrics tend more toward pure social commentary than anything remotely narrative.

Sadly, Hines' music never gained the degree of popularity I would have liked, but nonetheless, I was very happy to find this album, along with "Waving Not Drowning" and "Immunity", finally available on CD. I view this CD and the others largely as a single body of work, so it is hard to review any of them individually.
