Album Description

Nobody makes records like Lisa Germano. This music seeps into your system with a warm glow like alcohol gently working its way into the bloodstream through the lining of an empty stomach. From the first moment you're drifting weightless through Germano's gossamer world, where everything's infused with a woozy, fairytale melancholy, and maybe just a hint of the sour taste of last night's wine.

Liquid Pig is beautifully and richly orchestrated, but also so intimate and saturated with a peculiar sadness (that can suddenly shift to joy or whimsy) you get the feeling you're drifting through the dreams inside her head, led along by the soft breeze of her breathing. Germano says that if you removed the breath from her voice there'd be nothing there. That particular quality is perhaps what draws you in-- the sound of a lover whispering a song or a secret in your ear. These songs are intimate, even "confessional," but they're certainly not limited to the personal. Seems that any human being with a sense of their own frailty ought to find a place for themselves in this beautiful and seductive music. Includes bonus CD of unreleased home studio and live material.

I don't feel any need to discuss the music, then original CD is well reviewed, I dig it a lot. But why the reissue? Heck it's only 4 years old, they didn't have decent studio technology back in the dark old days of 2003? I can't tell much difference, but I'm comparing a pretty good rip (not mine) of the original with my probably inept rip of this, so who knows? Sounds good, but not dramatically different than what I have.

Anyway, there's also a second CD included, and I can talk about that. The copies don't cut the full versions, so I don't see much point. There are a couple of other songs, mostly just minimally tracked stuff, her and a keyboard, somewhat stream of thought type music, and a couple live tracks you can meow and bark to (never mind), but nothing really exceptional. I like her better in the studio where the production can surround her voice and expand the music out a bit, just singing alone she kind of lacks power to my ears.

So, if you don't own the original, you'll spend your money well here, the main sequence is great. If you already have it, well . . . not sure it's worth the mula, your call.

Welcome Return.......2005-03-04

Lisa Germano went under the radar after the relative commercial failure of her 1998 album Slide. Her deal with 4AD ended and she was minded to never make another record, instead working as a clerk at Book Soup in Hollywood, writing songs in her spare time.
Although she occasionally worked in a supporting role on projects with the likes of David Bowie and Neil Finn it was four years before she went into the studios to work on a new album of her own. Lullaby For Liquid Pig was the result, with her skewed humour, inimitable unique style and voice like a welcoming warm bath happily intact, and up there with the best of her work. Although her subject matter can be stark, the listening experience is far from depressing, just as listening to the blues can be uplifting, thanks to a high watermark of quality control throughout its 36 minutes

Beautifully Overcast.......2004-09-26

The sky cried for hours. She sat looking out the window and hardly smiled all day...or was it night? It didn't really matter.
That's the overall mood of Lullaby For Liquid Pig, Lisa Germano's sixth full-length CD, in all its splendid sadness. Various strange and ethereal sounds swirl and float in the space around Germano's husky and engaging whisper-singing from start to finish. Specifically, the sounds of the song "Liquid Pig" seem to come swimming out of the shadows of some very creepy film. I'm not sure what that instrumentation is, but man is it ever spooky, as well as effective. For my entertainment dollar, that could also go on twice as long as the three minutes it plays. The sort-of-psychedelic carnival sound of "Candy" provides a few of the rare minutes of this disc for moving your bones in celebration of the pervasive weirdness. Regarding the lyrics, sorry, but I'm going to be caught up in the ambiance of all of this music for a while before I get around to trying to sing along. In the complaint department, most of the songs too short. On the other hand, I have no idea what's on radio, but the two- to three-minute durations of most of these tunes should make them more susceptible to the airwaves. Is there anything amidst this breathtakingly pretty, melancholic music that's accessible enough to be on radio? When you hear this music, get back to me on that.
I'm not familiar with Germano's previous work, but since my first listen, and all listening since, I've decided to get acquainted. What I suggest for the more emotionally stable among you is to get this CD; then get the debut CD from Denali and have yourself a gorgeous gloomfest. Head over to www.lisagermano.com and have a look and listen around.

Picked this up because I was intersted as a fan of Neil Finn's since she worked with him on his recent solo efforts, I can see where he found appeal in her talents and discordant melodies, but as a listening album I find it fails to deliver. I much prefer the pop sensibility of Neil Finn to the morose ramblings of Lisa Germano. Just not what I was hoping for... This is simply my "heads up" to those seeking the same as me.

Undervalued singer-songwritter shines once more.......2004-08-03

For many years Lisa Germano has been making some really good music for a criminally small audience . Her rich orchestrations , dreamy lyrics ( " push me down / i don't care / i'm as light as air " ) and haunted weary voice were never mtv material - it was all too personal , deep and frankly affecting for today's mainstream media . Her latest offering " Lullaby For A Liquid " is actually about her drinking experiences .

On the dizzy , slow " Into The Night " she goes on about how it's like to " losing the feel ... / lost the need for real things " while " It's Party Time " feels like a sweet hangover and sounds anything but a party track . It's all dark and beautiful really but it's when she focuses more on her female , sensitive side that Germano truly touches greatness . Like on " From A Shell " , a glacial , magic ballad with a breathtaking perfomance where the artist descibes a situation " with the gods all gone and the souls making sounds " .

It's so unfair that while Germano has trouble finding a proper budget to release her records , singers like Sarah McLachlan who write the same type of music with surely less edge sell millions . The lady is sensual in the most genuin way . She's one overlooked talent that everyone who likes songwritting with a soul should discover .

Sooooo Great.......2003-09-02

When I think of an underappreciated artist, I think of Lisa Germano. Her ability to find a rapturous melody is seemingly effortless. You can practically swim in her melodic texturing. 'Liquid Pig' is my 5th album by her, and I hope there are 5 more ahead. This is a very controlled, focused recording. The 12 songs are like unified vignettes. They gracefully flow from one to the other. On earlier albums by Lisa, she occasionally broke the hazy mood with a little quirky sense of humor, such as optimistic talks with her cat or brief circus like instrumentals. Not here. The warm, melancholic mood holds from start to finish, making it a great album for a lonely night of stargazing.
Someone else amoung these reviews denounced 'Liquid Pig' and wrote on about one of Lisa's live settings. Geez, maybe she should have worn her Bob Mackie gown. Although I'm sure Lisa appreciates the support slot, I imagine the music of Daniel Lanois is a little more for the masses than hers. What may have sounded like droning on and on may have been her trying to create atmosphere like this album. The busy minded probably won't get it. She's probably doing the best she can on little money. All in all, if you're prone to introspective periods or existential thinking, 'Liquid Pig' could be a comforting, understanding companion.
