Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Long-time Van Morrison fans may prefer the Belfast bard's tougher, emphatically R&B-driven work, yet it's his lusher, mid-1980s output that helped him consolidate the scrappy gains made in the prior decades. The once-heightened polarity between the earthy and the ethereal seemed muted on albums that traded in a softer-focus, romantic mysticism mirrored by the expanded scale of Morrison's band and arrangements, and left room for him to dabble in instrumental compositions or his renewed love of sax and piano. No Method, No Guru, No Teacher proves among the more durable, convincing chapters in this era, carrying a now-familiar array of symbolic touchstones (the Celtic legacy of "Tir Na Nog" or an extended instrumental allusion to a hymn set to William Blake's musings on England) and offering two of Morrison's better meditations on redemption, "In the Garden" and "A Town Called Paradise", which echoes the fevered waltz-time trance of "Astral Weeks" itself. --Sam Sutherland
Description
When Van Morrison released 1986's NO GURU, NO METHOD, NO TEACHER, he'd spent the better part of the '80s rediscovering himself through spiritual pursuits ranging from born-again Christianity to dabblings with Scientology. Morrison's introspection led to his writing songs for GURU pertaining to everything from actively re-exploring his roots ("Got To Go Back") to the spiritual battle between good and evil ("Here Comes The Knight"). Part of this rebirth involved a heavy dose of Celtic mysticism in the shape of "Tir Na Nog" and "In The Garden", a song which included the album's title in its lyrics in an off-handed swipe at those critics trying to trivialise his religious explorations. Although the heavy-duty imagery on this record left many fans of Morrison's lighter, swinging '70s material puzzled, the marriage of beautiful musical arrangements and magical lyrical compositions makes NO GURU an overlooked gem in the canon of the Belfast Cowboy.
