Amazonレビュー
After the lacklustre response to his groundbreaking early 1970s albums, Tim Buckley was forced back to the drawing board. His second attempt at a comeback was the over-egged Sefronia. Produced by pop producer, Denny Randell, this 11-track album did nothing to rescue his critical reputation. It's clear from the outset that Buckley was not really on peak form. Apparently suffering from a cold at the time, his much-loved voice wasn't at his best and this collection of ballads is made even more frustrating by the occasional flashes of inspiration. Overall, the tracks, which include an interesting choice of covers (Fred Neil's "Dolphins" and Tom Wait's "Martha"), are too submerged in Randell's slick production to really shine. Pedestrian, rather than otherworldly, it undoubtedly takes a while for the listener to feel at home here. However it's not easy: his distinctiveness was waning and the material doesn't really cut it. When his ramshackle muse does hang together, like on the evocative, "Quicksand" and the sweet "I Know I'd Recognise Your Face", we're almost in Happy/Sad territory but overall the songs (bar the covers) aren't worthy of the voice of that blood and blues-scarred past. --Reuben Dessay

Questa riedizione della Edsel è ottimamente rimasterizzata; la custodia è in cartoncino, e include un libretto di 12 pagine contenente i testi dei brani e materiale vario. Consigliato, anche se non è il capolavoro di Tim Buckley.
"Dolphins" is one of the earnest songs, a ballad. The dolphins are a metaphor for an ideal world, as opposed to the real world which Tim feels "will never change the way it's been", and, he adds, "I only know that peace will come when all our hate is gone". This ideal world would also include a woman from the past to whom Tim sings "I wonder do you ever think of me?" Conversely, "Peanut Man", one of my favorites, is a fun R&B track in which Tim tells the peanut man (?), "Drops of perspiration Johnny/Coming over me, hey buddy/Pour another glass of cola/Pass it to me". That last line is sung in a high falsetto that is just hilarious. Returning to earnestness, "Martha" is a beautiful, bittersweet orchestral number that reminds me just a little bit of The Beatles' "Martha, My Dear": "Guess that our bein' together was never meant to be/But Martha, Martha, I love you, can't you see and...those were the days of poetry and prose/And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me". "Stone In Love" takes us back to lowdown sex-funk: "I can almost taste it...and I was born not to waste it Lord/Oh, now baby; I got midnight fever".
By far, the strangest song is "Sefronia", which is actually in 2 parts, "After Asklepiades After Kafka" and "The King's Chain". What Tim was trying to convey is anybody's guess, but there are references to possible voodoo ("Sefronia shook the black cat's bone at me"), slavery and S&M ("She pried the whip out of her master's hand/And lashed at her own skin"), Africa ("...you hike in shells and feathers/Up the African beach"), and primitive sexuality ("Let me sip weakness from your dark nipples"). The instrumental arrangement for "Sefronia" takes a back seat to the unconventional, meandering vocal melody. After all this, the final track, "Sally Go Round The Roses", is tame, even though it does say, "Honey, the saddest thing in the whole wide world/Is to find your woman been with another girl", a pretty daring statement for 1973. But the mellow funk of the arrangement is rather soothing.
Tim Buckley has to be the most under-appreciated musical artist who ever lived. Clearly he had limitless ideas, both musical and thematic, which he wanted to express, even at the cost of commercial failure. If he were alive in the present time, maybe life would have worked out differently for this gifted, intelligent, creative and bold singer/songwriter.
The album builds on his jazz and folk roots, yes moving onward towards the inevitable conclusion of commercial pop, but still with a sound that can haunt and inspire the listener. All the songs have great rhythm sections with gentle powerful vocals as to be expected.
He was wonderful to see live, pulling the audience into his world, so if you get chance to obtain a live album it will be good at worst. He is one of the very few musicians of his decade to make me so happy and proud to be a part of it.
Having many friends and followers of music whom where late to the Tim Buckley sound, this album has never been a favourite, maybe if you did come across it out of its release contest it is of putting. But if you were there awaiting its release then it falls into place, please give this a chance to shine as it was meant to. So many people came to Buckley late to be Hip, this is not what he is about, he is there for the love of what he believed in, his music.
Nicht nur für Fans!
A côté, des morceaux spéciaux : "Sefronia", qui sort de l'ordinaire, et qu'on ne se lasse pas d'entendre avec ses sonorités et paroles étranges. "Quicksand" et "Honey Man", où Tim nous prouve qu'il maîtrise sa voix d'une manière hallucinante ; "Stone in love", une chanson à la construction simple (un riff de guitare et demi) mais hypnotisante.
En gros, avec un son vraiment agréable, ce CD mal connu se doit d'être écouté. Il a de grandes chances d'être aimé !
