Product Description

Raw materials remain loose, circling, faintly jazzy strums and broken-backed pianos, topped with those airy vocals that err just on the right side of distracted. But Damon Gough's gift is to conjure up an air of innocence, however disingenuous that may be, and make his way with a melody seem uncommonly fresh. So "Above You, Below Me" transcends its rickety, waltzing similarity to "Once Around The Block", while the outstanding "Something To Talk About" is like "Pissing In The Wind" reshaped by Elliott Smith (no coincidence that Smith cohort Tom Rothrock coproduces here). There's even a lovely Christmas song, "Donna & Blitzen", to round things off. The old quibbles about musicians tossing away good songs on soon-forgotten soundtracks seem irrelevant. Best treat About A Boy as a proper album--Damon Gough certainly did. --John Mulvey

Customer Reviews
When i first listened to this album i was travelling on a bus and i was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of both the music and the countryside. It is deffinatly a Summer/Autumn album which makes you appreciate the world.
The track 'I love NYE' is brilliant. Its a peice of instrumental genious which made me want to cry. All the tracks are outstanding, especially Something to talkabout, which was the reason i bought this cd in the first place.
Other tracks that i like are the instrumental Wet,wet,wet Dead Duck and the short and sweet exit stage right. The other vocal tracks i like are Silent sigh, file me away and river sea ocean.
I have to recommend you buy this CD, its a great chill out cd and is a fantastic collection of songs. Buy it buy it BUY IT!!!!!!
Combining both instrumental and vocal pieces, the essence of the film is perfectly embodied, often provoking the listener to think back to certain parts of the movie. From the thirty second long 'Exit Stage Right' to the beautifully evocative 'I Love Nye', each song has a charming character of its own. My personal favourite is 'Silent Sigh', in my opinion the most representative of the film and soundtrack as a whole.
My only quibble, albeit very minor, is that unlike other film soundtracks that I own the tracks are not arranged in the order in which they appear in the film. This is not really a problem though, and the order in which they have been placed works well.
Definitely worth buying - it's great as background music or just to listen to more loudly.
Yes even better than Easy Rider, Once upon a time in the west, Midnight Cowboy etc.
