about this album
Wonderful stuff, but really benefits from this musical accompaniment and hearing the majesty and emotion of Alan Moore's voice to really bring it to life.... For example, nothing quite delivers the emotional jolt of the finale as hearing Moore's Northampton intonation building to a crescendo with the music and delivering these lines... And all the wheeling cosmos comes to this, its orbits to an evening’s walk pared down. Vast swirls made stains on Catherine’s dressing gown and suns careening in the fond, brief kiss. His thumbprint’s heat in every just fist curled, in hand on pen, or sharing the last crust. On lovers arse, or tumbling jails to dust, his rages, lusts and fears those of the world. He is our human compass, jumps, limbs splayed to all points, up from the common ground. In fireball dawn, mad glare, torrential sound, is William Blake, amazed and unafraid. Stunning. A shiver down the spine every time he hits that "Amazed and unafraid" line. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
