Songs of love and many more

Review Score: (10/10)
Not enough words to praise this masterpiece. As someone has said here, 2 brilliant Ep's. Sometimes you would like the first, plenty of songs about love in a very "Almondesque" way, i.e. something illusory, the greatest feeling that can take you to the highest hights or the lowest low (listen to "Beautiful Brutal Thing" or "Champagne"). The second part ("Tenement Symphony") merges old Almond's cliches: flamenco music, Deutsche Gramophon (one Debussy's "Songs of Billitis", from poems of Pierre Louys), non-stop disco dancing programming (listen to "Jacky", originally "Jacques" by Jacques Brel). But the best comes at the end: "My hand Over my Head". If you've love sombody desperately, this is your song of worship. Thanks Marc for beautiful songs! (Recommended lecture: The Songs of Billits by Pierre Louys, lesbian poems from a fictional ancient harlot).
