Generations - Want It All

Generations
- André Brassard is the genius behind Inukshuk Productions
OUTSTANDING ALBUM Brassard has a knack for lush backgrounds and warm, rich musical textures. It feels like being outside. d call this more of a new-age acoustic folk/rock CD. The ballads are breathy and mysterious, and the faster numbers have the effect of being echoed over a mountaintop. Brassard has a knack for lush backgrounds and warm, rich musical textures. It feels like being outside. From the very first track, it s hard to classify Brassard s singing style. Kind of like a blend of Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, and Randy Newman. That approach serves him well on a lot of these tracks, like End of June . It s a cry for love mixed with a message about respecting the earth. He is a smart composer. The instrumental Between Heaven and Paradise is a standout for it's melody on the guitar and lullaby vibe. He also surprised me with Respect, a sudden burst of garage rock, again with stellar guitar work. Brassard doesn't do anything halfway. These songs are complex and enveloping, full of atmosphere and life. I keep coming back to that spiritual, new age feel infusing the whole project. I d like to see him team up with Enya. A MUST HAVE
