Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Paul Roland has been variously described as the last English eccentric, a Twentieth Century troubadour and a romantic in the tradition of Poe, Lovecraft and M.R. James. His songs teem with characters, both grotesque and humorous, juxtaposed and set in music suitably atmospheric and evocative. Spanning the years 1980 to 1990 it encompasses some of his delightful songs and almost stories. 38 tracks including 1 bonus track, 'The Cars That Ate New York'. Last Call. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

One of CD's best Live albums.......2003-03-05

.... But this features mostly the period of Gitane, Valor, and David Glass in the post Rozz line-up, doing excellent spirited versions of " Wind Kissed Pictures ", " Wil-O the Wisp " and " Believers of the Unpure " Gitane shines on lead vocals on the title track, " Golden Age "
" Gloomy Sunday ", and " Lament " whom Rozz Williams sings on.
Rozz also sings the wonderful studio goodie " Lullaby " appears live on " Face " and " Look At the Light ". All in all a great treat for MUSIC fans in general.

A Very Good Live Album.......2003-01-03

Christian Death have released several live albums, and I must say this is definitely one of the better ones. The sound quality is pretty good, and the track list provides a solid representation of the middle of the band's lengthy career. The majority of the songs feature Valor's vocals and some of his best material including "Between Youth" "Believers Of The Unpure" "Will O The Wisp" and "Wind Kissed Pictures." Gitane DeMone also shines on "Tales Of Innocence" and "Gloomy Sunday"

However, there is a fantastic version of "Lullaby" with Rozz at the mic. This version is very dark, slinky, and gloomy, and almost sounds like a studio recording. The only other version of this song that is available is on the "Insanus..." CD and that version has Valor's vocals and his lyrics. (The original VINYL has Rozz's version, but let's not get too confusing here!) Rozz also appears on "Face" and "Look At The Light," which is a variation on the climatic finale of the song "Only Theatre Of Pain."

At any rate, this is a solid live disc, well worth it for collectors of the Christian Death discography.

simply wonderful!.......1999-04-07

This album includes both Valor Hand, Rozz Williams, and Gitone Demone together, which alone makes it a worthwhile cd. All the songs were masterfully done. Some of the best are The Golden Age, Lament, Tales of Innocence, and Gloomy Sunday, which feature Gitane as the vocalist. She is absolutely amazing, like a stange combination of a whispering spirit and a howling banshee. I love her voice! Any Christian Death fan must have this album.
