Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The Beatles were many different bands--ranging from the R&B shouters of "I Saw Her Standing There" to the baroque art-rockers of "A Day in the Life"--but when critics describe bands like Squeeze, XTC, Crowded House, Jellyfish and Greenberry Woods as "Beatlesque," they're usually referring to the intensely melodic, highly refined, slightly psychedelic pop-rock of the Paul McCartney tunes on later albums like "Revolver" and "Abbey Road." In that sense Adrian Belew's Here is very Beatlesque. --Geoffrey Himes

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fine & consistant release
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2002

    Adrian Belew is one of the best guitarists alive. He doesn't play at impossibly high speeds, he doesn't write self-indulgent finger exercises that would only appeal to a limited few, and he doesn't have a contract with Ibanez. What he DOES do, however, is: write wonderful melodic tunes; he is diverse; he writes lyrics that can be both beautiful and confusing; and he can definetly play with soul. This album, released in 1994 on Caroline Records, shows how talented and amazingly moving his music can be.
    From hard-edged rockers like "Never Enough" and "Burned by the Fire we Make", to moving pieces such as "Fly" and "Dream Life", it seems that Belew has no limits to what he can produce. Speaking of producing, he wrote all but one piece, which was co-written, as well as performed and produced every instrument on this album. It's not quite evident in this recording, but he is a fantastic drummer, and not such a bad bassist either. On "Here", there are an incredibly diverse selection of sounds, from guitars of every kind, to a koto (a Japanese stringed instrument; you can see Belew playing one in the sleeve art). While perhaps not the best work Belew has created (his best work has arguably been with the groups King Crimson and The Bears, which he has been either leader or co-founder of), it is incredible music, and it's definetly worth a listen.
    One last note: while Mr. Belew has been compared to The Beatles in his solo efforts (which isn't a bad comparison at all), I find that his albums cannot be compared to anything else. In fact, his music easily fits within the folds of both pop AND avant-garde rock. Whether he's playing guitar on the newest Nine Inch Nails CD, or singing a bouncy & longing tune such as "I See You", you know that where he is involved, your'e going to have quality music.

  • ! Metamorpho ;)
    4.0 out of 5 stars HERE, There or Everywhere? Who Knows?........
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2008

    Some have called your beloved Seer the Natty Bumppo of the spiritual world. Why this should be so is anybody's guess. Perhaps it's my stance between the wilderness and the toast of civilzation which earns me such reknown. In fact, I do not adhere to such premonitions. No. I choose, instead, to imbed the known world with the unthinkable, the unknowable, and the righteously unindignant and to proffer simple Zen puzzles for one to solve. If Metamorpho writes a review in the forest, will anyone read it? A good question to ponder. The answer will be given at the end of the review. And, remember, no peeking!
    This time out I am reviewing the Adrian Belew c.d. "Here". In it, and many of the tracks, he tries to channel the spirit of the Beatles. And he certainly does a good job of it. However, I feel mixed emotions about the result of this music. He adequately gives elements of their music - especially reminiscent of the Beatles' "Revolver" and subsequent albums. But, alot of it seems forced to me and a bit of it raw on the ear. That said, the genius, when it is really good, shines through spot on!

    There are sounds, ambient excursions throughout, to give you that psychedelic vibe. And it works in places and feels forced in others. I hear many influences of the 60's rock he tries to emulate- The Small Faces - The Troggs - but, if he was going after the pure Beatles sound, these serve as a distraction towards that goal.

    While the Beatles always seemed to me to be more on the melodic, understated side (except for the few raw excursions they took), Mr. Belew, for some reason, tended to give the rawer moments more harshness. It could just be me. But your Metamorpho, after an ear check up, seems to hear the high and low frequencies pretty well. (Or, at least as well as a thirteen year old boy with a weak stereo system. After that, let's face it folks, the decibels do mondo damage).

    By any stretch, this is a phantasmagoria of music. But, when you reach for a golden ring, which the Beatles excellence is, you can hit or miss with the effort. Don't get me wrong. This outing is not a failure by any means. Kudos go to the fact that Mr. Belew created everything here himself, which is a monumental feat for any artist. Yet, with all this, I was so hoping for a few "Rubber Soul" tunes to balance the whole thing out.

    Is your Metamorpho being unreasonable? I think not. Perhaps more discerning as usual folks. Pity for you that you didn't catch me on a better day (!). I will, however, not drudge through all selections but point out the high points. Mind you, most of the songs convey the need for love through the obstacles of the world. This is a famous theme for the Beatles after all. I do not think that his music is bleak at all - just a reflection of reality - and the hopes within. In essence - what better connection - music wise - could it be? To everyone? Face it, life is tough for everyone. Except for a Metamorpho who is now sipping an apertif by the Seine wearing a beret. But, hey, everyone can't be a Seer no matter how much I wish for it. If you missed my winter courses, more will be offered in the fall. Take heart!

    The kick off of this c.d. is "I See You", a rockin' tune of a man who sees his loves face ("When I went to sleep in Japan, I Saw your Face on the ceiling fan") everywhere he goes. Clever lyrics abound here. He even has a chorus whereby you would swear John Lennon stepped in for. An excellent track, but even better is the slinky guitar/sitar touch of "Survival in the Wild". Another rocker- he imitates Lennon and McCarney with their blend of harmonies to a T! Phenomenal. It's that close.

    "Peace On Earth" is a different guitar take on "Eleanor Rigby" with "all the broken people" ("hungry people"), with a stranger rythmn and meter while still remaining connected to the Beatles tune. Interesting and so very clever. "Here" sounds reminiscent of Lennon's "Julia" and then some but with more guitar ambience and pyschedelic influenece. However, everyone may find something or another to enjoy from his effort.

    That said, this is an album of inspired Beatles and the personal quest of Adrian Belew. So take of it what you will. But fascinating and uplifting on some levels and quizzocal on others. But an interesting effort nevertheless. On listening to this again I see the ever insistent motif of "the world is a mess and we can make it better" which can be bleak, but the music makes it appear less bleak. I suppose, after all, this is the quest of the true artist. To reveal truth and not make it so harsh.

    In answer to the above Zen puzzle, it is "If there is electric current in the forest then it is certainly possible". But, I am sure there are many answers. If there is one better, please write to Metamorpho. I will carefully consider it, and then dismiss it totally out of hand. Just like your good boss would do (!).

    Gaining a chuckle at your expense (as usual) - your, Metamorpho ;)

    I lost this CD (and many others) years ago while moving. Its great to own it again. Production is excellent, Adrian's in his usual fine voice, guitar work is, as always, phenomenal, and The Beatles influence is again present (see also his "Inner Revolution" album). All in all, a repeat worthy collection of Adrian at his best.
