4 out of 5 stars The beautiful Ophelia.......2002-07-14

A collection of literate and structurally complex love songs. I can understand the cult following, because his songs are not always immediately accessible, not being strictly in the verse-chorus-verse format and not giving up their melodic intricacies at a cursory listen. In this way, his solo work reminds me a lot of Peter Murphy's. My favorite here is the delectable "Ophelia" with its poetic lyric and simple yet inspiring melody. This gem of a song deserves to be appreciated by more people. I admire the fact that he has always pursued his own creative path without ever bowing to whatever the commercial mainstream was at the time.
