This is a fantastic EP, I bought this back in 1997 when it came out. But I notice that it is now very difficult to get hold of. So my advice to anyone out there is to snap up a copy of this EP while you still can.
I am no authority on Sinead's music, but bought this EP after buying her Universal Mother CD a year and half earlier. All I can say is that the songs on this EP are peerless and sublime. There are 6 tracks on this EP and they are all brilliant. (also there is a remixed version of Fire on Babylon, which is included as a separate CD, this version is just great also!).
Sinead without question has the most beautiful voice, but on this EP, the voice is matched with songs of equal calibre. As i said before I am no authority on Sinead's entire back catalogue, but this EP represents a very rare conjunction of her awesome vocals with great great songs. Unmatched in my humble opinion.
Brilliant EP, a true gem.
So buy a copy while you still can....
ciao

Her best, her brightest, her most beautiful...
8 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
Sinead fans were perplexed when, suffering a six-year hiatus between full original albums, Mizz Banshee released this vicious teaser. It turns out to be, perhaps, one of the greatest *incomplete* artistic canvases ever proffered by a recording "star." Gospel Oak, though an EP, is easily Sinead O'Connor's most realized, honest, defining, and elemental work. Owing to her intriguing behavior as an artist, she toured the world to support this teeny little acoustic, made-in-the-bedroom record, while she refused to tour behind Atlantic's multi-million dollar "Let's Re-invent Sinead!" whopper in 2000...the expensive 'Faith and Courage' album. However, this little forgotten piece of brilliance is the record where she truly rediscovered her jaw-droppin' chops as a songwriter, after the hell America put her through in 1992. Turns out that America learned a bit more about the Pope's organization in the meantime, and Sinead, who had effectively squelched her mainstream career, will never recover while the papacy will continue to drag on. But... every song on this record is a vocal masterpiece, a gem of poignant-yet-incisve songwriting, and sheer genius that, for a change, makes somebody actually proud to be a member of the human race. If you can get a copy of this widely shifted disc...do it. Don't put it off. You want real magic in your tired life? Look no further. I am not remotely using hyberbole here. 'Gospel Oak' is *that* good.

SINEAD at her best.
9 Mar 2002
Format:Audio CD
I was somewhat disappointed of Faith and Courage because it didn't meet the standards of this release.
Musically this is gem. Vocally it is amazing. It works because sinead is at her best when she just takes it and goes with it. When she tries too hard to make a point, it fails. This album is pure love, devotion and works.
When critics(men usually;I am a man by the way) review her, they drag her down because of things she does. ...
When I play sinead, people come to me and ask who is this. When they find out it's her singing, they are surprised. She's worked with so many people, awhich is her strength. From soundtracks, to groups, world artist etc...
I have turn so many people over to her real talent.
Sinead is a woman who sings, she has more in her catelog that I
wish people would hear.
Sineads voice is a soothing voice, yes a lullaby, I feel at easy when I listen too this album, at peace.
Too bad there are not audio clips. ...

A Rare Gem
20 April 2003
Format:Audio CD
I bought this recently after seeing it in a shop for the first time [in Australia].
From start to finish it is a collection of beautiful, gentle music. The lyrics are some of her best and the instrumentation often sparse but perfect. The highlight for me was the last track, 'He Moved Through The Fair', a live recording spotlighting the quality of Sinead's voice.
