Again, Mark Isham is on hand to lend his support on synthesizer and trumpet for that delicate, almost-not-quite new agey touch. Van waxes philosophical, as is his wont, on such tunes as "River of Time," "Higher Than The World" and the title tune, and nobody ventures into the mystic with more success than Morrison. Held aloft by a female choir, Morrison's voice takes on a new air of maturity here. As his blues-trained voice cries out with emotions almost impossible to express with words, he relies on his own version of scat-singing; moaning, whispering, and murmuring incantatorially to articulate the SPEECH OF THE HEART. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  Van Morrison - Inarticulate Speech Of The Heart I bought this album because I'm trying to assemble a library of all Van Morrison's back catalogue of work. As a fan,I probably would like pretty much anything he has produced, so you have to factor this into reading my revue. It will come as no surprise then that I liked this album! Not being a "Morrison anorak" I can't tell you where he was in his career at the time he wrote this album or fill you in with any relevant background information. All I can say is - if you like well-crafted tunes with great instrumental back-up and backing vocals, and the Morrison vocals don't trouble you too much, you'll like this album too!
