User Album Review
It’s an album whose topic has been on the backburner for a few years, some songs or parts already having been utilised on the previous two records, yet finally finds its place, evolving fully formed as a fascinating set of songs which form, shock…horror, a concept album.
The eight songs across forty five minutes typify the perfect album listening length (as opposed to a bloated CD filling seventy plus minutes) and revolve around the reflections of a fictional rock musician in the twilight of his career having travelled the road from success and complacency to a life and career founded on compromise and disappointment. Sound a familiar tale? Bands or musicians that immediately spring to mind? No doubt a concept rooted in fact and as such barely disguised. At the same time, there’s the parallel route that maps the change from the album orientated days to the current climate of streaming and free downloading, leaving the musician in the precarious position of what Brian Eno called “the last blacksmith in town”, an artisan plying his trade to a dwindling appeal and audience.
Ultimately the album may be “an attempt to capture a particular world before it disappears, a sort of wildlife documentary about an endangered species Alternatively, it could be my equivalent of making a period film or TV series.” Either way, Lost In The Ghost Light is indisputably a milestone work.
