Album Description
If AC/DC lays claim to being Australia's top international hard-rock band, then the Church represent the country's more eclectic side. The group was formed in Sydney in 1980 by British-born singer/songwriter Steve Kilbey and guitarist Peter Koppes. Their 9th album, 1994's Sometime Anywhere, is important as it was first to be recorded without founding guitarist Koppes. While his spacious, reverb-laden style was definitely missed, a different guitar vibe prevailed. Highlights include 'Day Of The Dead' & 'Lost My Touch'. 13 tracks. Lemon.

Customer Reviews

One of my favourite bands
I always have loved the beautiful melodies, and psychedelic songs of this band. This LP takes the Church into new instrumentation, with loops, samples, and more "synthesizers" . Steve Kilbey, as always , has great lyrics, and Marty Wilson Piper even chimes in vocal duties on at least 1 song ( I forgot!). If you like the Church, youll love it, if you are new to this band, you may want to start out with "Starfish" , a more accesible LP. This album, like most of their albums, goes from poppier songs ( Loveblind) , to stranger psychedelic inturludes/frekouts (Angelica). I strongly recommend it to Church fans, and new fans alike, you may also want to check out my favorite LP by this band 'Seance" .

Feel free to worship at this Church
This was the first Church album I ever bought so I didnt come with any pre-conceived ideas about their previous work, I hadn't even heard "Under the Milky Way". I was just collecting Australian music. So when I listened to it, I thought "what the heck have I got here"? I listened to it a few more times, then suddenly "Loveblind" registered with me as being really quite good. Then like fish in a river that seemed devoid of life, you see one then you can see loads of them, and so it was with this album. I suddenly "got it" and boy was it worth it. Ok, its a sort of concept album like my dad used to listen to in the 70's but its soundscapes are so lush, Mexican road trip in opener "Day of the Dead" , its not often you get the words Picador and Serapphim together in one song. These songs are not sung, they are performed, each one is like a mini-opera, the Bladerunner vibe of Loveblind, the desert ghost-town of "2 Places at Once", the eastern string interludes, the overall effect is stunning, and not to be approached lightly. Essential requirements for this album are a comfy chair or bed, dim lighting, access to wine and peace to really listen to this album. Dont expect a grabber, more a grower, but it rewards you if you give it some time.
