5 out of 5 stars His 19th Album.......2004-12-17

126.5 minutes with all the extras)

Now if you ask me, and a lot of devotees of compilation music anthology type deals do on a semi-regular basis, then this here monster collection of Bruce Cockburn works is the best to date... the best compilation, that is.

Before you commence to thinking that the profit hungry marketers have done it to us again and just thrown in a bunch of cuts we already purchased plus a couple of new tracks to make us pay for the entire package of songs and, thus, milk us for sales of songs we already purchased... I got news for you. There are indeed two songs that were new to this here CD when it come out, "Waiting for a Miracle" and "Stolen Land." However, there are a few more songs that are slightly different than other versions and worth taking a listen to. For example, the version of "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long" on this CD is taken from the film 'Rumours of Glory' and ain't like any you ever heard before. From that same film they took the song "Rumours of Glory" and present it here on this CD. "Fascist Architecture" and "The Trouble with Normal" are versions that were, at the time, previously unreleased and somewhat different than other versions.

There are eleven tracks more on the Canadian version, ain't none of them rare or unknown for the Bruce Cockburn aficionado, but if you're going to spend the money and you want better value for dollar... then I'd pony up and fork over enough for the Canadian version. On the other hand, if you're Canadian, since the loonie don't really buy much seeing as how it is so weak, you might have to fork over even more if you want this (or any other ) CD. We folk in Chesterfield County call the Canadian loonie the "Northern Peso."

This here CD is a good way to jump in and get to know the music real quick if you never heard Bruce before. If you got six or seven albums already and are looking to buy more... I wouldn't start here unless you take careful stock of the songs on offer and make sure the majority of them are new to you. Otherwise, buy a different album that will expose you to a total collection of cuts you ain't never heard before. For all you folk out there who absolutely must have everything Bruce Cockburn has ever released, then make an effort to get this one. I write that because the cuts taken from the film soundtrack are nice deviations from what we all grew to love on the original albums and you will sleep better knowing you have another hole in your collection plugged up.







5 out of 5 stars "Accidentally" heard.......2001-09-18

I am a native of Zambia in Central Africa. In 1992 as I drove going to visit my girl friend in a little town called Ndola I witnessed a terrible accident involving the then deputy minister of health (who is now the minister of finance). After helping the victims I remained on the accident scene to collect all that belonged to the minister. I picked his laptop, tapes etc among others. One of the cassettes was for Bruce Cockburn. I had never heard Bruce before and out of curiosity I decided to play the tape in my car. I really enjoyed it and since then I have become a Bruce fan. Bruce is a must for anyone who loves the accoustic guitar. I returned what I had gathered from the car to the minister and when I look back I tell myself I accidentally bumped into Bruce Cockburn for sure.

3 out of 5 stars Great artist.......2001-01-08

A great introduction to a truly excellent artist. Bruce is for me the canadian Bob Dylan (for the lyrics) and Lou Reed (for the music). This Double-CD is a very good and very large overview of his work, with good sound quality. Vocals and music are fine, sometimes a bit depressing, sometimes uplifting. Its mostly for the lyrics you listen to him, which make you think. Also his good vocals and very good band playing adds to a great listen. So if you like songs, where the message is the biggest part of it, this artist is for you.

5 out of 5 stars Terrific Overview of the First Half of Cockburn's Career.......2000-12-15

Canada's Bruce Cockburn has been recording for thirty years now. This 1987 2-CD compilation samples every album from Cockburn's self-titled debut in 1970 through 1985's World of Wonders, plus two previously unavailable songs recorded specifically for this set--"Stolen Land" and "Waiting for a Miracle." Although Cockburn flirted with Top 40 success with "Wondering Where the Lions Are" in 1980--it reached No. 21--Cockburn has unfortunately remained essentially a cult figure in the United States.

I bought this on vinyl when it first came out just to get the two new songs. When I began converting to CDs a few years ago, I got this collection because it had eleven more tracks than the vinyl edition. If you're familiar with Cockburn only since 1984's Stealing Fire (which garnered some MTV play with "If I Had a Rocket Launcher"), this is a cost-effective way to catch up on the first half of this eclectic singer-songwriter's career. Cockburn is a masterful guitar player (both acoustic and electric) and a prolific songwriter (he wrote all of the songs here) utitilizing a variety of music styles often with overtly political lyrics--especially on his later work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5 out of 5 stars truely a miracle.......2000-07-05

Anyone who is interested in the Canadian legend MUST own this anthology. Its a wonderful history of the artist from the classic early folk ballads, to more rockin' songs from one who can hold his own against anyone. It is good place to start, and a great cd for any collection. I highly recommend it!

3 out of 5 stars Not really a masterpiece, but it has its charm........2007-03-01

Like most of their post-punk contemporaries, The Comsat Angels started with minimal instrumentation and production, as required by the punk aesthetic, but slowed down the tempos and added a dark atmosphere with serious, foreboding lyrics. From there they had a turn with goth, by making their music even slower and darker while improving the production, and then they changed course once again and wrote an all-out pop album with short radio-friendly songs. This was not an uncommon evolution at the time -- The Cure did basically the same thing -- but the Comsat Angels just never were able to break into the mainstream. Life isn't fair.

But now their first three albums have been reissued, after being out of print for two decades, and it's time to re-evaluate them. Waiting For A Miracle is first in the trilogy, and it's probably even more minimal than most of the other post-punk debuts. There is almost no guitar on the whole album. In fact, there are almost no riffs or hooks as such. Almost all of the songs are driven by repetitive, rudimentary rhythms and the occasional keyboard. "Independence Day" is the only song that has a clear guitar lead like a typical rock song.

At times, it really sounds like they've just taught themselves how to play. Many songs have a fragmented, jerky quality to them, with abrupt changes in the rhythm. "Monkey Pilot" especially sounds like it was pieced together from three different demos. The refrain that opens the song stops abruptly and goes into a long plodding section, which goes back to the refrain just as suddenly. "Real Story" is one of the few songs to have a recognizable guitar line, but that guitar line isn't really the sort of catchy hook that people put in pop songs. There's a very uncertain pause after every time it repeats, as if it doesn't really fit the rhythm, and the very notes sound like something one might write if one wants to write a guitar song but has never played the guitar.

But in some sense, this extreme minimalism suits the album. The lyrics often share this uncertain quality, and exhibit a kind of charming naivete. The title track is about how singer Stephen Fellows feels lonely at a dance, and wishes that a girl he likes would notice him. "Total War" laments his estrangement from his girlfriend, which occurs because she doesn't like his friends or his clothes. It's a banal reason, but hey, life is that way. These particular lyrics convey the mood by capturing small but realistic details. Fellows is much less successful when he tries to adopt a confident, world-weary air, like in "Map Of The World," where he tries to use a map as a metaphor for the insignificance of all human life. This very laboured observation comes across as shallow rather than experienced and wise.

The band's strength is not in the music and songwriting. But they're very good with simple chant-like lyrics. The music and lyrics of "Baby" are pretty forgettable, but there's one part after the second verse where Fellows softly chants "talk...talk...talk" and it has a powerful effect. "Waiting For A Miracle" does a similar thing in the ending, where Fellows repeats "waiting for a miracle, but nothing ever happens" in a rueful voice. It just so happens that this device evokes exactly the kind of bleak, repetitive setting that the lyrics refer to. Fellows doesn't make a show of emoting by screaming or sighing or what-not, and this understated singing style can make these simple chants compelling and meaningful.

And then there's "Independence Day," which is a truly great post-punk song and by far the best track on the album. It's the only song with a real guitar hook. Though just as minimal as the rest of the music, the notes are punctuated by pauses so precisely that it sounds nervous and tight, rather than uncertain like the other songs. The build-up of drums, which start calmly and proceed to thunder by the very end, is also very strong. And Fellows contributes a fine lyric, with the memorable refrain, "I can't relax because I haven't done a thing, and I can't do a thing because I can't relax." To this day, this is the Comsat Angels' sole charting single, though they recorded a few more good ones later on.

The reissue adds eight bonus tracks. The four demos are bland except for the version of "Independence Day," which uses feedback to make the guitar line sound soft and sad rather than nervous. Of the B-sides, "Home Is The Range" exhibits all of the band's weaknesses: they try to write a fast and energetic song, but there's clearly no tune to it, and the drums just crash along monotonously. But "We Were" is a moody instrumental, with a more expansive, "cathedral-like" sound, and adds some variety to the album. And the last two out-takes, "Ju Ju Money" and "Work," are excellent, better than half the songs on the album itself. "Ju Ju Money" was later reworked for the band's third album, where it was given a much richer production with layered guitars. But this version may be even better, precisely because it's so sparse. The best part is after the vocals, when the bass line repeats over and over, and the guitar occasionally interjects with a single note. This extended outro creates a genuine sense of unease and mystery, which the band was trying to create with mixed success throughout the whole album. And "Work" has quite possibly the album's best lyric, written from the perspective of the real young man struggling to support himself, rather than the rock poet.

Waiting For A Miracle is not exactly a lost classic, but the band's youthful earnestness, and their inability to fake an experienced image, do grow on one. Their other albums don't have this quality. And the bonus tracks show that they had talent.

5 out of 5 stars Definitive UK post punk.......2007-02-11

Fans of The Sound, Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, Psychedelic Furs first LP, and maybe even Joy Division should give a listen. While living in the UK in the late 70's I considered The Comsat Angels to be a great singles band. While "Red Planet" doesn't appear here, pre Polydor I guess, "Independence Day" and "Total War" fit in well as part of their first full length effort. This music represents a fine era in rock music. Headiness, great songs, lyrics that say something, and of course drums, bass, and guitars. I reviewed this because I feel it is an important recording.

5 out of 5 stars Some Of The Best Music From The Post-Punk Era.......2006-10-11

One of the most overlooked bands of all time, the Comsat Angels, made their brilliant debut with the album Waiting For A Miracle. Listening to it takes me back to the fresh spontaneity of live bands of the late 1970s, before music evolved into being over-polished and over-synthesized. It is pure and sparse and (for me) quite enjoyable in 2006. There are some amazing tunes here, especially Missing In Action, Real Story and the Comsats' best known song, Independence Day. As with all of the Renascent re-releases, this one has a number of bonus tracks and slick little booklet which gives the early history of the band and album synopsis. They don't make albums like this anymore. Luckily, they re-release them. Don't pass it up!

5 out of 5 stars Probably My Favorite Band of All Time, Too.......2006-08-29

I had the pleasure to wander into a concert by the Comsats about the time that Waiting for a Miracle came out. I was working in Greece and visiting a friend in London. It was an afternoon concert at the Lyceum with about 6 groups on the bill. When the Comsats came on, both of us looked at each other with that "these guys are really good, I mean really good" look on our faces. Miracle was sparse and wonderful, followed by the amazing Sleep No More, which is the one I play for friends who have never heard of the Comsats first. Living in Europe I got to see them a few times and socialize with them when they did a (honest) July 4 gig in an outdoor venue in Holland. This is the band that U2 was the opening act for when they were just getting going, and I do hear a lot of the Comsats in U2. Though to my mind, Stephen Fellows has a superior voice. Pity that the band didn't get the kind of success that U2 got, as that would mean they would still be together and turning out amazing music.

As I said, Miracle is very sparse and in this day and age may be a bit of an acquired taste. But, I always thought how incredible On The Beach would sound in the hands of a great soul singer with a full wall of sound production.

As Stephen Fellows would have said:

"See You in the Future"

Jay

5 out of 5 stars My favorite album by my favorite band..........2006-05-17

If you aren't familiar with this album, imagine a less relentless, subtler Joy Division. This is, in my estimation, the finest, most chilling post-punk record in existance. They don't hit you over the head with existential gloom...they merely snake around it.

Fans of early 80's British new-wave ie. Chameleons, Echo and the Bunnymen or The Sound would be doing themselves a tremendous dis-service not owning this albums. Renascent UK has done a wonderful job with the new liner notes.

"Sleep No More" may be a "better" album, but I find it a bit too self-consciously dour (but still absolutely brilliant...). All four Renascent UK reissues are requisite as far as I'm conserned, but this is the one I would have to choose if absolutely forced to.

            Waiting For A Miracle, Singles 1970-1987 (1987) (nineteenth album) (126.5 minutes with all the extras)
            Now if you ask me, and a lot of devotees of compilation music anthology type deals do on a semi-regular basis, then this here monster collection of Bruce Cockburn works is the best to date... the best compilation, that is.

            Before you commence to thinking that the profit hungry marketers have done it to us again and just thrown in a bunch of cuts we already purchased plus a couple of new tracks to make us pay for the entire package of songs and, thus, milk us for sales of songs we already purchased... I got news for you. There are indeed two songs that were new to this here CD when it come out, "Waiting for a Miracle" and "Stolen Land." However, there are a few more songs that are slightly different than other versions and worth taking a listen to. For example, the version of "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long" on this CD is taken from the film 'Rumours of Glory' and ain't like any you ever heard before. From that same film they took the song "Rumours of Glory" and present it here on this CD. "Fascist Architecture" and "The Trouble with Normal" are versions that were, at the time, previously unreleased and somewhat different than other versions.

            There are eleven tracks more on the Canadian version, ain't none of them rare or unknown for the Bruce Cockburn aficionado, but if you're going to spend the money and you want better value for dollar... then I'd pony up and fork over enough for the Canadian version. On the other hand, if you're Canadian, since the loonie don't really buy much seeing as how it is so weak, you might have to fork over even more if you want this (or any other ) CD. We folk in Chesterfield County call the Canadian loonie the "Northern Peso."

            This here CD is a good way to jump in and get to know the music real quick if you never heard Bruce before. If you got six or seven albums already and are looking to buy more... I wouldn't start here unless you take careful stock of the songs on offer and make sure the majority of them are new to you. Otherwise, buy a different album that will expose you to a total collection of cuts you ain't never heard before. For all you folk out there who absolutely must have everything Bruce Cockburn has ever released, then make an effort to get this one. I write that because the cuts taken from the film soundtrack are nice deviations from what we all grew to love on the original albums and you will sleep better knowing you have another hole in your collection plugged up.
