Sleeping Satallite....
Customer Reviews
Complete Classic
I bought this album when it came out and it has stood the test of time amazingly well. Not only is it still utterly superb to listen to but I continue to use it as a reference disc when looking for new hi-fi. It is very well recorded with a particularly strong and gorgeously textured bass line (important to me as a bass player). I can't recommend this album highly enough, but please don't go by the 'through-a-sock' recordings above - they do it no justice.
not just a sleeping satelite
This album has really suprised me, I bought it only remembering the hit Sleeping Satelite but now that song is outshone by a great number of the others. I paticularly like the songs "Hero", "Ripped Inside", "When It Comes Don To It" and the shocking yet thought provoking "In Your Care". There are songs here for everyone.... full of angst and tranquility alike......buy it and you will be pleasantly suprised.
Superb pop music album
This is one of my favourite records form the 90s and it has stood the test of time well. Tasmin Archer and her excellent, rocky band deliver a set of 11 brilliant, catchy pop tunes. It is a stunning debut album, displaying all the maturity of an artist well into their record producing career. It won great accolades at the time and deservedly so. It sounds as good today as it did then.
Unfortunately, the follow up "Bloom" lacked the same spontaneity and catchiness and the band's playing on that second album was not as enthralling - I was disappointed with it and lost touch with her after that.
"Great Expectations", however, is still well worth seeking out - difficult to select a favourite tune from it as they are all so good, but "Sleeping Satellite", "The Higher You Climb" and Somebody's Daughter" would be vying for my top spot.
