Product Description

CD Description

Subtitled "A Pythagorean Theory Tale", Stevens' follow-up to the relatively conventional BUDDHA AND THE CHOCOLATE BOX is a semi-concept album with a sort of science fiction theme.The songs are set on the faraway planet Polygor, which "existed to give numbers to the universe", and they are sung from the point of prominent inhabitants of the planet, including the wise and deep-thinking old Novim ("Novim's Nightmare")and cranky emperor Monad ("Monad's Anthem"). The story lineisn't easy to follow, but the songs themselves are in Steven's signature folkie pop mode, and the one non-story song, "Banapple Gas" (a distant relative of Donovan's "Mellow Yellow") is as catchy as anything in his catalogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Journey Home and light the drywood, 23 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This Cat Stevens album dates from a time when his commercial sucess was less than his early years; and yet it shows his ability to write beautiful songs did not diminish in anyway, infact , like a good wine it matured with age.

The album contains many wonderful songs, especially 'Drywood' a very powerful personal song about the search for spirit and meaning in the world of the everyday. I personally consider this to be perhapes his greatest song.

To call Cat Stevens a troubadour is to use the word in it's proper context, his songs of love, pain at the state of the world, and the search for spirit are just as beautiful and as haunting as the original troubadours of 12th century Provance who sang about the same things.

This album may well have no songs on it you know, but dont let that put you off, as it is very much worth buying.

An extremily talented troubdour who touches your soul with the quality of his songs

Nick Wood

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat Stevens' most accomplished work., 2 Feb 2001
By ben.knibbs@ue-1.com (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This is a neglected album but contains some of Cat's most interesting and musically satisfying songs/instrumentals. Some of these need attention and repeated listening to be enjoyed to their full but they are really worth it. My favourites are Novim's Nightmare, Makik of Majiks, Drywood and Jzero - lyrics and music beautifully in harmony. These can send the shivers down your spine!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not His Best......But Not Bad!, 7 April 2001
By A Customer
Although this album is not in the same league as the 'Firecat' or 'Tillerman' albums it still has a number of really enjoyable and original tracks.It was a shame that 'Banapple gas' found its way onto this album, as this song pales in comparison with 'Drywood' or the beautiful 'Home'.Still this is definitely a decent buy for any committed Cat Stevens fan.As there are not that many original albums this is a worthwhile addition to any Cat collection.Highly recommended!

There's always something about subsequent music covers that make the popularity of their predecessor hits (Tillerman et al), good as they are, fade a little. Read more
