Anyone else got this album. Bought it yesterday to see what it was like and pretty impressed - if you like David Gray or David Kitt it should be up your street...

Saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Borderline in London.
Wasn't really my cup of tea,just went to see the excellent Mouse supporting.

Despite hearing this first in July or August when it was released, it wasn't until a few months later and some consistent listens that I loved 'O'.... voted it my fourth favourite album of last year in Adges thread too.

And so it is: Just back from the Union Chapel gig. Great venue, great support (Gary Dunne first and Rodrigo and some girl(something spanish, probably wasn't Barry:D)) and a great performance by Damien.... aswell as Lisa, Vyvienne and Shane of course.

Highlight of the evening were unsurprisingly 'The Blower's Daughter' and 'Cannonball', as well as covers of 'Hallelujah' and 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. A couple of new songs were peppered throughout the evening admidst the album tracks and single b-sides like , 'The Professor' & 'Woman Like A Man'.

Think I'll book tickets for the April Shepherds Bush gig. It obviously won't be as intimate as Union Chapel, we were seated only a few pews from the front, but I think there was enough about his whole performance, not just musically, for him to make it work.

Saw him last year when I got free tickets to see Katheryn Williams at St. Georges in Bristol.
Was blown away by how good the guy was, wasn't sure if the song would work quite as well without the background and banter between songs. Havn't seen the album in the shops to buy it on impulse though.

Excellent album. :thumbs:

ps - not heard David Kitt - one to investigate

Mr Moby - i was at the Union Chapel gig too, it was incredible! Lisa Hannigans Silent Night in semi-darkness finished off the evening perfectly. Cracking gig!

I'd reccomend O to anyone, it might not be your thing but most people have been sucked into the beauty of this album. Try it. What's the worst that can happen? :)

I'd have to agree, I was given this album by a friend and told "Just give it a go mate" which I did, and its one of the most beutiful albums I have ever heard! I'm struggling to sicken myself with it at the minute!!

Awesome Stuff!:clap: :thumbs:

I picked this up on the girlfriend's recommendation along with the Woman Like A Man EP... I gather he's very good live and that Lisa is amazing. Going to try and see him at Glasto.

Was really annoyed to find out that there had been a gig in New York last week which was Damien Rice, Aqualung and Charlotte Martin in a tiny venue. Would have been a good night out!

I'm going to sulk now. :brickwall

12-05-2003, 17:45

i would die to see charlotte and damian on the same bill.
i think i'll be driving to san fran when they play together in June. i've never seen damian live, but i love his stuff. 'delicate' is on the NPR station over here all the time.

mikegray

12-05-2003, 19:32

Is Aqualung unknown over in the US, hisreadhead? If so, get your nearest Internet Music Facilitator to provide you with "Strange And Beautiful"

Radiohead

12-05-2003, 20:11

Mrs Radiohead was at school until 18 with Matt Hales (aka Aqualung) and he's a top bloke.

Great voice as well - he deserves to do well.

I'd also recommend Michael J Sheehy and Mark Mulcahy.

mikegray

12-05-2003, 22:55

He soundchecks for too long but is otherwise a nice guy. That's what I heard. :lol:

Radiohead

13-05-2003, 07:44

ooo - I'm telling him what you said

:lol:

Absolutely top album. I missed it the first time around, but picked it up on it's re-release after buying the Woman Like A Man EP.

Don't suppose anyone knows if he's got any gigs planned in Scotland do they?

hisredhead

14-05-2003, 23:16

i haven't heard aqualung over here...will keep my ears peeled for it though.

He's currently touring America and Europe and will be until the end of the year still promoting O. But he's playing at a couple of festivals, including T in the Park on the 13th of June which I believe is in Scotland :)

16-05-2003, 07:41

He's at Glastonbury as well apparently??

Tino

16-05-2003, 08:22

Great, cheers guys. Checked it out and he's on the same day as Tom McRae, which gives me another reason to go!

Saw him on ToTP2 last night. Reminded me what a great singer he is.

If you're going to see him you're in for a treat. :thumbs:

mysterytramp

19-06-2003, 13:04

Is this edition of ToTP2 repeated anytime this week?

He was on Letterman on Monday aswell, he even got to play two songs, Volcano with the full band and Cannonball on his own.

Dr Hfuhruhurr

19-06-2003, 13:10

Not that I know of.

It was Volcano and looked like it was a video rather than a special for tv so you may have seen it already.

kjn6371

19-06-2003, 13:32

Saw the video last night,very impressed and tempted to buy the album.

Radiohead

19-06-2003, 13:37

It's a great album - worth buying.

Dr Hfuhruhurr

19-06-2003, 13:41

You should buy it kjn.

And I really do hope you're joking with the sig cos I haven't seen the game yet - hence the request for spoilers.

19-06-2003, 13:48

Of course I was ;).Took the plunge and ordered it,I blame you Doc if it's a pile of poo :lol:.

Admittedly it made me laugh although I still had a horrible feeling it might have been the actual score.

tbh Volcano's not even the best track on there. :thumbs:

i saw charlotte martin open for Damien in San Fransisco last week.
awesome show that night on every level!:thumbs:

I ended up buying the album almost a year after seeing him.
I had The blowers daughter downloaded for a while and that convinced me.
I love amie though,its my favourite :)

Funny though I cant remember him playing any of these songs when I saw him! :( :gag: :confused:

searla

28-07-2003, 18:18

I agree, "Amie" is probably my favorite track - with "Blowers Daughter" a close second...:thumbs:

Its one of those albums that you just can't get sick of...:notworthy

mysterytramp

29-07-2003, 14:28

Did anyone see him on Conan O'Brien on CNBC the other night (Sunday). It was with the whole band and they done Cold Water. Lisa Hannigan ( :luv: ) did sing a line wrong, but I think I can forgive her.

Up...

mikegray

25-08-2003, 22:50

I wasn't as sure about him as I thought I would be when I saw him at Glastonbury. The track with a portion in French, in particular...

SOUNDSTYLE

26-08-2003, 12:13

I came across him when he sang live (accompanied by a woman) during Glastombury.
Both of them singing together was fantastic.
I have the album now.
Every song is not great but better than most songs you will hear this year.

searla

26-08-2003, 14:09

Aye, he's top notch like - going to see him in leeds, next month!! Can't wait:thumbs:

Lorne.t

13-10-2003, 11:33

New album has been announced.

Details here (http://angryape.com/news/2006/09/damien-rice-reveals-new-album-details)

Streaming version of his new single here (http://www.14thfloorrecords.com/#)

I like it. Did want to start singing 'What if God was one of us' though after hearing the first few bars......

Couldn't you have started a new thread? Not trying to have a go, but surely there's a limit to how far back you need to be digging stuff up in order to avoid thread duplication! :D

21-09-2006, 07:15

Agreed ! Just spent a few minutes reading this one, though. :dork:

I'm sure someone will start a new one with the new album title etc.

I didn't check the date, sorry. Just search for the main Damien Rice thread.

I think that new single isn't very commercial, but is Bloody Good.

Her voice is amazing, she reminds me of a female Eddie Vedder
