Product Description

Product Description

Recorded between October 2003 and May 2005, David took a different approach to writing and recording Life In Slow Motion. Of the change, David says, "I don’t think you can remain the underdog forever and work in that way. I really wanted to get away from that lo-fi bedroom programming. All the records that have inspired me this time have been far more of a soundscape. The Sigur Ros records, Sparklehorse’s It’s A Wonderful Life, Lucinda Williams’ World Without Tears and albums like Deserter’s Songs, where things are more architectural." From the sparse, structured intro of the opener, "Alibi", a song David describes as ‘like "Babylon" Part 2 but more abstract... catching up with the character a few years down the line when they’re a bit worse for wear,’ to "The One I Love", as beautiful a song about bleeding to death as you’re ever likely to hear, and the inspirational fire of "Nos Da Cariad" (Welsh for ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’) it’s clear that Life In Slow Motion is a distinct departure from his earlier work. Two compositions on Life In Slow Motion - "From Here You Can Almost See The Sea" and "Ain’t No Love"--come from David’s work on the soundtrack for Amma Assante’s debut film A Way Of Life (released in 2004). The songs landed David a 2005 BAFTA Anthony Asquith Award nomination for Best New British Composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop playing this! 17 Sep 2005
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
The single The One I Love has a rocky beat but devastatingly sad words that brought me to tears the first time I read them: a man lying on a battlefield sings to his girl as the life blood ebbs from his body.

Alibi is another great one as is the atmospheric title track Slow Motion, but the song that I like best for the moment is the almost 7 minute long Now and Always.

If you love David Gray, and don't already have this, get hold of it as fast as you can. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The return of the Irish Troubador 13 Sep 2005
Format:Audio CD
This album is a most welcome return from David Gray.
Beautiful string arrangements combine with David's voice and guitar to create a beautiful, joyous sound.
If Mssrs Blunt, Rice etc float your boat, go back to the source and hear how it SHOULD be done by the master himself.

I can honestly recommend you buy this album without fear of dissapointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Motion - Fantastic Album!!! 21 Sep 2005
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I am a lover of "White Ladder" and thought nothing could top it, I have to say that "Slow Motion" is coming in a very close second!!! From the second you put the disc on you don't want to turn it off! First tune you hear is "Alibi" what a great song as is "Lately", "Now and Always", " Slow Motion" if fact all are great songs!! " The one I love" is going to be a classic David Gray song, around forever! If you love White Ladder you will love this, just go and buy the cd, you will not be dissapointed! A fantastic album from a fantastic man.
