Product Description

CD Description
Notable for his particularly downbeat outlook on life, ex-Arab Strap member Malcolm Middleton's fourth solo outing 'A Sleight Of Heart' finds him in similarly gloomy territory. Though it is a largely acoustic recording with only Middleton and his guitar, contributions from members of fellow Scottish miserablists Mogwai and The Delgados on piano and drums fill out the sound. As well as original songs, Middleton includes several cover versions on this release, the most notableof which being a mellowed reworking of Madonna's 'Stay'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous melancholy, 7 Mar 2008
By Mr. B. Marshall (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Lovely acoustic album. I am totally in love with Middleton (and Moffat and the Arab Strap stuff). He can be both despondent and hopeful and ironic at the same time. It's a difficult effect to achieve, but he does it so well because he is so honest. There's truth in his music.

The highlight of the album is his remarkable cover of Madonna's Stay. I haven't heard her original, but Middleton's version casts it as a sad lament.

5.0 out of 5 stars Middleton at his best, 5 Mar 2008
With this mini CD you get value for your money, great music and excellent lyrics, the track "blue plastic bags"is one of his best songs to date, brilliant stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Songwriting With Sincerity!, 29 Mar 2008
By C. C. Mcauley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Malcolm Middleton's new album is an exquisite collection
of sincere and at times heartbreaking songs. Considering
his previous work it's not as despondent as one may expect.
The opener "week off" is quite lighthearted and has a rhythm
that gets your toe tapping more and more with each listen.
"Love comes in waves" is in my opinion one of the best tracks
on the album mainly for it's sincerity; it really sounds
like he means every word. It should go to number one in the
charts and perhaps if a miracle occurs it might do. The guitar
in Total belief is quite intricate and reminds me of Nick drake.
All in all it's a really good album that should be heard.

Well worth buying!
