A Soulful Winner4
Released in 1978, "Wavelength," though not amoung Van Morrison's all time best, is still one of his more engaging albums. It takes the basic formula of his classic "Moondance" and updates it with longer songs (though admittedly they are one the whole not as strong as "Moondance"). The album kicks off with the spirited "Kingdom Hall" and then moves on to such other excellent tracks as "Sante Fe/Beautiful Obsession," "Hungry for Your Love," "Venice U.S.A." and the wonderfully perky title track.

Morrison has never sounded better as a vocalist and in retrospect he was just warming up for his late 70s masterpiece "Into the Music" that would follow a year later. It should also be noted that the CD booklet includes a full lyrics sheet and a list of backing musicians.

Overall, a solid album that stands just a notch or so below Van Morrison's best works.

BEST Music CD ever5
I personally think this cd (or "album" as my mom and dad would say) is the best. There is a lot of music out there these days. A lot of music catagories to choose from. We have to sit back and realize that it all came from the days of and even before Van Morrison. This music is real..not altered just from the soul. Of course I am 25 and I have listened to my parents music from day one in 1979. I have to say that this cd is my personal favorite. My name is Natalia and guess where that came from? My dad would play the record for me when I was little on Saturday nights when I was in the bathtub he he... Nothing like a song stuck in your head for 25 years huh...Thanks for reading.

You heard the album, but did you LISTEN?4
Two camps here. First, if you are not a "Van Fan" and are looking for an introductory album, then of course head straight for the "Moondance" or "Tupelo Honey". Beyond that, if you know any of his music and are interested, "Wavelength" is an outstanding recording. The title track is the center of the album. The vocals, instrumentation and lyrics are classic Van, great lead guitar... a really upbeat love song. As is another fave of mine "Natalia". Its' all simple stuff here:
"Here on a summer night
I wanna kiss and hold you tight
Just the way we used to do
Walkin' down the same old street
People that we used to meet
Such a long, long time ago"
It's very upbeat sunny day music. I would have to say that 7 of the 9 songs here are outstanding. Dont expect to hear "Brown Eyed Girl" and you wont be disappointed. LISTEN. Whatever anyone says, trust me this work isn't "horrible".
