My $74.99 worth of CD's arrived from Amazon this week, prompt as usual. Might I just say that Big Country's The Crossing is really one of the best CD's I now own.
Originally recorded in 1983, digitally remastered and reissued in 2002, it is a haunting and brilliant masterpiece. Original in it's content.
"It all begins with a sound in your head, a disarray of word and music, an awareness of something coming to the surface. Small pieces occasionally break through but the whole is a mystery. Take the mood, the emotion, the passion for it and make it live. Focus it all, crystalize the essence of it, let it become a living thing, share it."
