FEATURING
the hit single There Will Be A Light, Live at the Apollo
is a gospel-sounding album typical of The Blind Boys of
Alabama.
Ben Harper’s soulful voice adds an extra special
element to the Boys’ sound and should interest a
greater audience than just gospel enthusiasts.

WITH
more instrumentation and less electronic bleeps and whizzes,
Moby manages to make quite a departure from his previous
works, yet maintains his signature sound.
This is undeniably Moby, a good solid album held together
by the heartfelt playing of this very talented one-man-band.
I can’t help but scoff at the pretentious frustrated
artist essays he always adds inside the album cover –
just stick to the music, champ, you’re good at it.

OPERATUNITY
was a televised quest by the English National Opera to
find two good voices, give them 12 months’ training
and put them in an opera performance; reality TV goes
highbrow.
The winners were Denise Leigh, a wife and mother who is
partially sighted, and Jane Gilchrist, who describes herself
as a Tesco’s checkout chick.
This is an album of some of the greatest arias and duets
written for the human voice. This recording is a gem and
if you had wanted to try opera but weren’t game,
it’s for you. Highly recommended.
