Review by Henry Williams
The
Adventures, who formed five years ago in Belfast, gained
Top 20 status with 1988's Broken Land, but the
six-piece's third LP finds them moving away from bittersweet,
mainstream folk-pop, to more traditional Celtic melodies,
seasoned by occasional blasts of down home, rootsy country
picking, silvery violins and mournful pedal-steel guitars.
The mood here is either resolutely up or distinctly furrowed
of brow: typical of the former are Bright New Morning
and Washington Deceased; of the latter the haunted
Desert Rose (written with Lloyd Cole), and Don't
Blame It on The Moon, where, with an astrology book
in his pocket and head full of William butler Yeatsian
poesy, singer Terry Sharpe consoles his lover. Eleven
softly lilting songs to take the fancy of star-children
everywhere.
