Gone Unnoticed,
By
This review is from: Gone Troppo (Audio CD)
A misunderstood little gem of an album. When it is released in its remastered form, rush out and buy for this is a superb record which has gone largely unnoticed by all Beatles/GH fans. The fact that George didn't do any promotional work for its release is no excuse: It's a superb album.For me, Gone Troppo IS George Harrison, his music, wonderful guitaring, well structured songs, that lovely voice and - to the fore here - that sense of humour. Gone Troppo contains two of George's finest songs: Mystical One and the sublime Unknown Delight. The opener, Wake Up My Love sees George on bass for a change and the second track, which strangely doesn't contain any guitars at all is sheer fun: I Really Love You, one of two covers on the album, complete with superb doo-wap backing and the stamping feet or percussionist Ray Cooper. Other tracks such as Greece (arguably the only instrumental containing words?) and the title-track are great, and George's skill as guitarist show in the religious track Life Itself, with some wonderful slide guitarwork. I loved Gone Troppo from the moment I first heard it (1988) and it has become a firm favourite. It takes a listen or two to sink in but it's worth it. Go buy and enjoy - Gone Troppo really is an Unknown Delight!

I love this album,
By .Richard "Rich" (england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gone Troppo (Audio CD)
I really don't agree or understand when people say that this album is rubbish because in my opipion it's better than all things must pass but not as good as "living in the material world" or "Cloud Nine" it had everything to be a classic and sell millions but with lack of promotion and the music world not giving it a chance and saying that Harrison is passed it. but i wasn't round when this album was realased i got it with the brillant dark horse box set. and it's a great album of classic melodic rock that is vasely under-rated by fans and music world alike...and the demo of Mystic one it's fabulous it brings a tear to my eye.

A Fun and Great Little Album!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gone Troppo (Audio CD)
Gone Troppo always considered as the low point in Harrison's solo work, I feel this is a large and mythical miss - conception. The album has the sound of a man who hasn't got a care in the world. His songs are about the situation he found himself in the early 1980s. After listening to this album countless times it certainly grew on me. Harrison as usual had a number of well established and talented musicians such as Billy Preston who worked on The Beatles Let it be album and Jim Keltner, who worked on a number of Beatle solo efforts including John Lennon's imagine. Many songs stick out on this album such as Wake up my Love, That's The Way It Goes, Gone Troppo, and Dream Away. The latter was the theme from Harrison's time bandit's film. None of the songs were ever going to be as strong as classics such as Something or Here Comes the Sun but that was never Harrison's intention. In the song Mystical One Harrison sings "they say I'm not what I used to be All the same I'm happier than a willow tree". This relaxed and joyous attitude makes the album pleasant and fun to listen to. The critics were always expecting Harrison to write to there standards. When he made his albums, he wrote for himself and not the wider commercial audience.
