What an album!!! A Scarcity of Miracles is a work of power and subtlety, with just the right pinch of atmospherics for taste. Just finished listening to it AGAIN on the drive home from work! CHEERS to you, Mr. Fripp and the rest for the brilliance put into these tracks!
Isn’t it odd how one used to come across your name in odd, but always prog-related contexts (I was never into Level 42) … something to do with Hammill and VDGG, and what was this with Greaves and Blegvad … one could never quite figure out what you were up to, and then everything fell into place with “The Bruised Romantics Club”, a miracle of a CD, there is a clear continuity here, obviously, with the prog tradition (made explicit on CD 2, of course), but it goes beyond hippy stuff and cleverness for its own sake, there is no fear of sentimentality and simplicity here, yet the result is complex, confident and beautiful. Can’t wait to hear the recent albums! Cheers from Oslo!
Brilliant works of art. Bruised Romantic Waves of Scarce Miracles refuse to leave my CD player, as well as my brain. This collection of tunes, including some 21st Century Band pieces, have captured my attention on a level much higher than most of my other purchases I have made in many, many years.
Hi! I just wanted to say that I loved A Scarcity of Miracles, very inspired compositions, beautfiful deep lyrics, exceptional vocals work and harmonies… thank you, it’s a pleasure to the ears and the soul. Blessings and love from a Chilean unconditional fan.
Still fondly thinking of “Learning to Cry”.
Mr Jakszyk,
Thank you for your art.
Regards
Irek Dobber (Mr)
