Ian Astbury: Rock god In Exile? Ian Astbury's first solo album very much follows the same musical vein as The Cult's 94' self titled release and Mr.Astbury's side project, Holy Barbarians. If you're not familiar with those albums, I'll just say don't be expecting Electric or Sonic Temple. This is more subdude melancholy new alt. Very thoughtful, meaningful lyrics as you'd expect from Ian; just delivered in a more low keyed style. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the man. Out of print though, so get a copy while you can.

Ian Astbury - Spirit Light Speed Spirit Light Speed Beggars Banquet Back On Earth - Reminds me of Sympathy For The Devil. Great opening number, and it really got into my head. Hi Time Amplifier - I've had this one for a while, from the sampler. This is supposed to be the first single from the album. Pretty good song, lots of effects, but I would have chosen a different song as the first single. I can see why this one was chosen first, though, because it's more rocking then the others I would have suggested.

Devil's Mouth - Neat song. Lots of weird stuff going on in it. This whole album has a lot of experiemental sounds, and this song really focuses on it.

Tonight - One of my favorites. Slower song, but possibly worthy of being a single. This one really stayed in my head. Metaphysical Pistol - Reminds me of Midnite Exspress from his Holy Barbarian days. This song does have vocals, and they are dark.

'His life is just a trip from the maternity ward to the crematorium'. This is one of the songs that makes me think Ian is an unbelievable writer. This song touches emotions, but it's sad. The Witch - A nice reworking of this classic. You all know what it's like, this version is just a bit different. It's Over - Another song from the sampler, I've had some time to think about this one, too.

This is a rocker, the more I listen to it, the more I like it. El Cid - I love this song! This is another example of just how gifted Ian is as a songwriter. If Ian was to do this song accoustically, it could be one of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard. My only complaint about this song is that there is just a little too much sampling in it for me. This is my first choice as a song that could have a remix with it.

I thought if it was done in the same vein as Garbage's Classic mix of Milk, it could be gorgeous. This is one of the most touching songs on the disc, and don't get me wrong, despite my critism of it, I love it. Tyger - Another song along the same vein as Devil's Mouth. Lots of wierd stuff going on in this song, too. This is a good song. Shambala - This is the insturmental on the album. When I heard there was going to be an insturmental, I was a little reserved about it.

After listening to the song, I really enjoyed it. Again a lot of sampling and stuff going on in it. Overall, I really enjoyed this album. One of my favorite things about Ian's songwriting abilities is his ability to touch emotion. This whole album does it, and to me that is a sign of a good songwriter. If Ian was ever to give up his rock and rolling, I would hope he would continue to write poetry, because man, he can touch emotions in ways I never knew. I am a fan of music that means something to me, that was my first attraction to The Cult, and this disk does not dissapoint.
