Heart of the Matter
4 stars We find here several ingredients already present in the previous Miller's effort "Belief in the Machine", like a certain "floydianesque" atmosphere (impossible to let go without notice), the pleasant (yet short ranged) voice of Rick, flute and chello contributing exotic ambiance based on modal harmonies, and, of course, Barry Haggarty's guitar.

That is good, but it's not all. In addition, we have choral arrangements in a "gregorian chant like" sort of style, making for the obscure & medieval side of the mood. If you were on a DeLorean equiped with "flux capacitor", you'd read 1348 on the red display.

Anyway, there's also some kraut-rock styled synthesizers contributing to a healthy variety of influences, and probably the best part is the broadening of Haggarty's electric sound beyond the strictly Gilmour-likeness, reshaping himself with a much more acute, poignant tone, which fits perfectly the pathos pervading the grand finale.

This is not going to change your perception of the world and the music, but it's a great album.

Heart of the Matter | 4/5 |
