Multi-instrumentalist Alan Morse plays keyboards, various string instruments, and cello. These can be heard on his latest solo album, So many words.
The sound of the opening track is too soft compared to the rest. ‘Shadow of the Sun’ is a subdued, slightly sweet duet between Alan and his brother Neal. Alan’s cello blends beautifully with the rest of the music.
Guest musicians include Markus Riegler and Ted Leonard.
The blend of different vocalists is good, the sound is quite sweet, which fits with the lyrics, which may provide support. Some phrases (from the lead vocals) are distorted, and there are industrial sound effects\/noises. This is not always in balance with the whole.
The various drummers do a good job, although the sound occasionally lacks warmth. The intros are more special than the outros. At times, there are many layers in the music, including the recognizable, raw sound of Alan’s vintage guitar. The 11 varied tracks feel like a compilation album. Certain parts of the vocals and music are predictable, yet there are also surprising elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
