I loved Heather Findlay's work with Mostly Autumn - although not Odin Dragonfly album so much - but found this first release of hers under her own name to be slightly disappointing. I think she has a beautiful voice, but it suits a particular type of song, and on these more mainstream rock leaning songs it doesn't stand out as bright as it did on some Mostly Autumn ones. To add to that, the actual songs themselves are not that memorable - not bad, but not great either - and so the overall effect falls a bit flat.

Shame. I will persevere as she will take time to settle on a new direction following her long career with the band, but I hope there will be an improvement on the next recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic debut..... 25 April 2011
Format:Audio CD
.... but then that shouldn't be a huge surprise given Heather's CV.

Best known for her work when in Mostly Autumn, she has finally gone fully solo, and Heather Findlay is quite rightly regarded as being one of the best vocalists in her field. But defining her field is quite difficult, as her voice suits the most emotional ballads as well as full-on heavy rock!

This is the first in a series of EPs that us fans have been waiting for since last summer, with each one to have a different feel to it - The Phoenix Suite showcases her rock style. Although quite different from a lot of the structured, classic style of Mostly Autumn, the raw yet well balanced production gives the tracks an instant thumbs-up which never lets up on repeated listenings! Roll on EP no 2!

Have a look at Heather's website for more info, and I can highly recommend these as a taster for her work Offerings, Pass The Clock (1998 - 2008 Remastered).

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning! 18 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
We have lived with TPS for over a month now, and after a many listens we are very impressed. The music is much rawer, almost Indie sounding, in comparison with Heathers M.A work, but is still very melodic with interesting lyrics, and should appeal to a wide range of music fans, not just lovers of the traditional Mostly Autumn sound.

Chris Johnson is to be congratulated for his production, as each instrument is crystal clear, especially Heathers singing, which is superb throughout. She has Soul. She has Passion. These are qualities sadly missing in much recent music.
My favourite song, so far? None, as I love all five, although the guitar in Mona Lisa has been going through my head alot! The Lyrics to "Cellophane" also deserve a mention, for being both catchy and chilling.

I'm glad that Heather has created something unique, and in her own style, for to make an M.A/Odin album would be pointless, and also, I reckon, be a let down for the listener.
It certainly is not prog, but it is genuinely progressive music, and I reckon it can be easily enjoyed by any music lover prepared to approach it with ears. I've played it to a few people, with differing tastes in music, and the consensus has been "she's good, who is it?". I hope some of them actually order a copy!
I reckon she has pulled off that difficult trick of keeping the more open minded part of her existing fanbase, as well as attracting new fans.

There has been some great music released this year, and so far TPS is the running for one of my CDs of the year, and that's up against such excvellent pieces of work as Liam Davisons album, the new Within Temptation and the latest R.E.M., not forgetting Sir David of Coverdales latest! It's that good!
