イギリスのバンドCats In Parisの2008年の唯一のフルアルバムです。メンバーはドラムのBenjamin Summers、ベースのLorien Edwards、キーボードとヴァイオリンのMichael J. Watson、キーボードのSara Beardの四人組です。このギターレスながらの個性的な構成でグラムロックのようなドラマティックなロックを演じています。

The Secret Life of the Forestと言う本から歌詞のインスピレーションを得ているとの事ですが、何を言っているのか聞き取れないので、その歌詞に何の意味があるのかも疑問です。ソフトロック的なアレンジも聴き取れますが、音をぼやかし過ぎているのでソフトロックと呼ぶのも気が引けます。ドリームポップだなんて尚更です。

BBCラジオのMonday Night At Homeで放送されていた物語です。ですからほぼ語りで、音楽はBGM的に付けられています。これもコメディーな内容のようですが、英語がわからない人には良くわからないものです。ラジオの放送で人を笑わせるので、それなりの巧みな喋りになっています。ラジオって何かしながら聴くというパターンが多いと思いますが、そういう人の耳を引きつけるだけの魅力がある訳です。

83年のアルバムです。女性シンガーの Linda Hirst とのコラボレート作品になっています。ミュージカル調やキャバレー調の歌にぴったりの二人の歌になっています。これまでもゲスト女性シンガーに歌わせるパターンはありましたが、今回は Linda Hirstだけに歌わせるという事で統一感を出しています。

それでもその存在が許されるだけの知名度とストーリーテラーとしてのがあるからでしょう。誰も彼に変化を求めていないのでしょう。いつもの語りと歌を求めているのでしょう。Life In A Scotch Sitting Roomもまだ続いています。これで一つのアルバムをリリース出来るのですから、かなり特異な存在だと思います。
