Description
City of Peace, Part Two: My Every Breath is a studio album by the British singer, songwriter, and keyboardist Adrian Snell, independently released on Serious Music in 1995, marketed and distributed by Alliance Music. The album was recorded during the first half of 1995 by Nigel Palmer at Moles Studio in Bath, England; with Palmer, Jon Birch, and Adrian Snell producing. All songs written by Adrian Snell.
When listening to Adrian’s previous work I have generally found myself appreciating the suave elegance, rather than getting fired up over some stirring music. Worthy though the concept of ‘City Of Peace’ is, conveying crucial long-neglected truth, something of the same pitfall remains. Sparkling moments abound, particularly courtesy of exquisite flute and sax skills from David Fitzgerald. Considerable expertise too, in all areas of the arrangements, recording and quality musicianship. It’s just that there’s a coolness bordering on icy at times that produces a distance and unavailability that’s uncomfortable and edgy. As TC’s review of Part One pointed out, here too there’s little of instant melody to enjoy. So the verdict is that it’s classy stuff, lavishly prepared but red-blooded it’s not. Anyway, Adrian should worry about my misgivings, eh? [Tony May, Cross Rhythms, February 1996]
