大抵のベスト盤に収録されている名曲「SONG TO THE SIREN」に含んでいることから、つい買ってしまいそうになりますが、これは彼の作品中最もアバンギャルドな作品で、聴き手を選びます。やや聴きにくい作品だと思います。
この作品は、最高傑作とも、最もわけが分からない作品とも二極分化した評価を今後も受け続けることでしょう。まあ、私自身は、この「分裂病的綱渡り」ような、むき出しの、ピリピリしたサウンドがとても好きですが・・・
ここでの彼の鍛え抜かれたヴォーカル・パフォーマンスの凄まじさは、当時の「サイケデリック」や「フリージャズ」をも遥かに超えてしまっています。元マザーズ・オブ・インベンションのガードナー兄弟(管楽器)の参加が非常に象徴的で、彼の他のアルバムとは一線を画す実験的な内容になっています。
私には、ティム・バックリーはこの作品のパフォーマンスを通じて、自らのアイデンティテーたる「歌」の解体的再生を行っているように見えます。その意味では、この作品こそ、彼の最高到達地点にある作品と個人的には、思っています。
てなわけで、初期の頃の詩的でファンタジックな歌や、ダウナーなアシッド色の強い雰囲気が好きなファンは聴かない方がいいかも・・・。ジャケの彼の引きつったような「笑顔」が何か意味深です。
灰野敬二、キャプテン・ビーフハート、パティ・ウォーターズ、三上寛を聴き慣れている方は、きっと気に入るはずです。

後世に与えた波及効果が大きい作品なのだが、特にRadioheadは相当影響を受けている。
実際、ティムのカバーもしてるし。
特に「KIDA」と「ザ・キング・オブ・リムズ」。
ジョニー・グリーンウッドは、かなり聴き込み、ホーンの使い方なんか参考にしてると思われる。
内容は、フリージャズをアシッド・フォークに叩き込んで、サイケデリックのギターサウンドで更にグチャグチャにしてる感じ。
生半可にBGMとして機能しない異常なサウンド。
元々フランク・ザッパに見出された人なので、こういう要素は最初から持っていたんだろう。
マイルス・デイヴィスの「ビッチェズ・ブリュー」なんかとも、同時代的に似た空気感がある。
本国ではジミヘンやジャニスやジム・モリソンと並び称される存在。
あの時代の前衛作品の中でも、最も濃厚な部類に入るサイケの名盤。
バッファロー・スプリングフィールドの「アゲイン」や、ラヴの「フォーエヴァー・チェンジズ」等とあわせて聴くと面白いかもしれない。

『Starsailor』は、音楽的な変遷を続けてきたTim Buckleyが残した最も実験的な作品です。フォークロック的な表現方法からサイケやジャズを取り込みながら独自の表現を模索してきたTim Buckleyのこれが到達点と言えるものです。『Starsailor』は実験的音楽への理解を測る踏み絵にされているような風潮もあり否定的な意見を目にする事はあまりありませんが、以前からファンの中でも好き嫌いが別れていて、万人向けとは言えない聴き手を選ぶとても難解な作品です。最初に聴くTim Buckley作品としてはおすすめしませんが、他のTim Buckleyの作品や他の実験的な作品として並び称されるような作品を聴いて『Starsailor』にも興味を持てると思ったなら一度は聴いてみて欲しいと思います。ハマってしまえば深みにハマる作品です。
この『Starsailor』は長い間CDでは入手困難になっていた作品で、amazonでも一時は2万円以上の高値でマーケットプレイスに出品されていていましたが、2010年に日本のみでCDが再発されました。そのおかげでマーケットプレイスでも値崩れして入手しやすくなっています。今まで高値で入手をためらっていたなら購入するチャンスだと思います。
なお、再発売盤はamazonでの取り扱いはありませんが、2013年現在定価での入手が可能なようで、まだ店頭でも見かけます。SHM-CD+リマスター+低価格ということで、これから聴くにはそちらをオススメします。生産は終了していると思われるため、興味があるなら購入を急いだ方が得策です。
また、本来安価(定価2,100円)な国内再発盤ですが、プレミアの付いた輸入CDと同じ商品のページで高値で出品されていることが見られるようなので注意が必要です。

Capolavoro
2024年5月19日にイタリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Se volete avere informazioni consiglio la recensione di ondarock. È l'opera più ardita e impegnativa del grande tim buckley. Per me un capolavoro, nonostante preferisca in assoluto "goodbye and hello" e "happy sad". Qui, come nel precedente "Lorca", altrettanto importante, prevale la ricerca di sonorità non facili. Trovare un disco di tim buckley che non valga la pena di avere ed ascoltare è impossibile.

Tim Buckley's undisputed masterpiece
2007年11月2日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I wasnt sure what to expect, when i ordered this title on LP format. Naturally, i've wanted to hear this title since I got into Tim Buckley maybe 15 years ago. However, as anyone reading this knows, this title, and Blue Afternoon are unavailable on CD. (If you buy the two CD "Best of" box set MORNING GLORY, you get almost the whole Blue Afternoon CD, but the set only has three of the STARSAILOR songs....ten minutes worth of music. That's hardly enough to form any kind of judgement on the album.) Anyway, I ordered this LP when i saw it available. It arrived in a box, with the LP pressed on virgin vinyl, 180 gram heavy stuff. So, the sound is good. Now, about the actual album. WOW. Nothing from the Morning Glory box set, with the exception of perhaps Monterey, can prepare one for what is on this album. My favorite song is STARSAILOR, personally. I had heard in interviews about what Tim was listening to when he wrote this piece, went far beyond the folk, psychedelia, jazz, and bluesy type material on the other albums. On this album LEGETTI, the composer who wrote the strange music heard in 2001 A SPACE ODDESSY, was an influence. When you hear the song STARSAILOR, you can hear why. Tim had overdubbed tons of vocal parts to achieve the sound on that song. The effect is unknown from any other "POP" or "Rock" music that I'm aware of. Other songs, seem very classical almost, in that "third stream" way, where classical music got crossed with jazz music. (As opposed to FUSION JAZZ, where jazz and rock music shook hands.) From Frank Zappa's classic MOTHER OF INVENTIONS, Buck Gardner plays amazing trumpet parts on this album. Lee Underwood is on guitar again, and I believe ART TRIPP was on drums, tho he isnt on the live songs from this album that are on that new Tim Buckley DVD that has been released recently. Anyway, the percussion is achieved by a drummer playing something like jazz drums, with mallets, instead of the bongos normally heard backed up with marimba parts, from the 68-69 period. I've listened over and over to this album since I've recieved it. If I didnt know that I was listening to Tim Buckley, I would think that I was hearing music by someone in the FREAK FOLK movement, or more exactly, some kind of avant guard jazz group from NYC. (except you have Buckley strumming his 12 string guitar thruout the album....not a normal timbre for jazz fusion music.) Its the odd fusion of so many types of music, that makes this the masterpiece so many people believe it to be. You have folk, avant guard jazz, third stream classical, even some twelve tone type sounds. Again, on the live DVD, when you watch this music played, you can tell how the band was approaching the life production of this music. (and yes, these songs could be played life, for the most part apparently. THAT would have been a concert to see.) Some songs are very far out, basically. I WOKE UP and COME HERE WOMAN, the first two tracks on the album, are typical of what you find here. The one song has chords sliding back and forth, in and out of any key center, with the band inprovising around the basic sound. Still, Tim wasnt playing the chords randomly. HE had that all written out ,and memorized. Amazing, when you hear these two and three chord songs that so much folk and rock music is based upon. The other song, is based on a riff, which moves via a signal from Tim, into a heavily strummed single chord, where the band improvises randomly, and then does more of the same. Two songs seem to lack any normal verse chorus verse chorus structures. The exception is MOULIN ROUGE, very much an "ART SONG", that sounds like some of the tin pan alley/dancehall type music played by The Kinks, Beatles, etc. This song is only a couple of minutes long, but is really charming, and beautifully melodic. SONG TO A SIREN is a folk song, with just vocals and guitar. It sounds very thin in some ways next to the rest of the album's sound. Then again, these changes thruout the album keep it fresh. SONG TO A SIREN, written in 1967, is considered one of Tim's very best, and I believe its the song that THIS MORTAL COIL had covered. Then, you have the avant guard song STARSAILOR that sounds like it could have been written by Legetti. The rest of the songs, are of a type of their own. I wish i could say "just listen to LORCA, and imagine it with a good jazz trumpet in the sound." But Tim was much more far out with this album than he was with LORCA. Sadly, at the time this LP was a disaster, and could very well have been the pin that pop's Tim's belief in his audience's ability to follow where he was going with his musical direction. Maybe the strangest part of this album, is when you realize that Tim Buckley went from here, to GREETINGS FROM LA. That is to say, from avant guard masterpiece to mainstream funk-rock, very pop orienated, very cliche ridden, etc. Now that we are in the year 2007, maybe some of us have the musical acumen to appreciate what STARSAILOR was really about. Actually, if you are a FRANK ZAPPA fan from his jazzy 1968-1970 period (during the period when ZAPPA had Tim Buckley signed to his own label, BIZARRE STRAIGHT) this album would have been within reach of your own freak esthetic. Like the best music by Zappa, STARSAILOR has the atonality, the classical influence, the strong jazz improvising, the devil may care chances with audience acceptance, short songs set against long improv workouts, etc. All i can say in summation, is if you enjoy Tim Buckley, and like LORCA, (which was recorded right before STARSAILOR, tho released after it), then you ought to enjoy this album immensely. Somewhat like Joni Mitchell's album by album advance from well done folk music, right into jazz, each TIM BUCKLEY album is an advancement, and builds on the album before it. Unlike Joni, Tim advanced his vision too quickly, lost most of his core audience, and became a bitter disallusioned man. I think most people who know and respect most musical forms now agree, this was the SUMMIT of Tim Buckley's career. And, if you don't want to pay a hundred dollars for a used CD, or don't want to wait til the rights get cleared (if thats the case) for the CD release, DO buy this LP. You'd be glad you did. But do it soon, because I can't believe it will stay in print forever.

Strange stuff
2024年3月17日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Have been listening to experimental music for many years but this was still a surprise. Strange, often eerie, vocals, and not songs as most people understand them. This is not the Tim Buckley of folk and folk/jazz days. The music and voice are haunting, disturbing, but not unwelcome strangely.

Il navigatore delle stelle al suo apice
2022年8月23日にイタリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Tim Buckley al suo apice artistico assieme al precedente "Lorca", sempre del 1970. Dischi di non facile fruizione ed ascolto premetto.
Qui di melodico vi è solo la breve "Moulin Rouge" e la magnifica "Song To The Siren", tutto il resto è
sperimentazione ostica.
Uno dei più grandi cantanti di sempre che qui sperimenta appunto con la voce tra arrangiamenti Avant-Garde/Free Jazz ed Avant-Folk, all'insegna dell'anarchia e ricerca espressiva più pura ed incontaminata.
Nondimeno è uno dei più grandi dischi della storia della musica Pop-Rock, nonché tra i miei preferiti.
Bella ristampa recente della Music On CD, non veniva ristampato in CD (ed a prezzi vertiginosi) da 30 anni.

Wow! A masterpiece.
2005年6月28日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I've been hearing about this for years. Got a bonus last month and decided it was time...
I'm listening to this for the fourth time since it arrived yesterday. This is music that takes several listenings for it to start to really open up to you - it's simply amazing.
Random thoughts:
This is the human voice as a full instrument in the group.
The album was a good 10 years ahead of its time, and is as fresh today as it ever was.
It's a brother in spirit to Ornette Coleman's harmolodics, thought it doesn't use the same forms. Also (esp. Jungle Fire) reminds me of Ronald Shannon Jacksons' 80's work
Also reminds me of some of the things Steve Lacey did with his wife.
Ah well, this really should be re-released - a consummate "fusion" of folk, rock and jazz in the best sense of the term. It's probably best thought of as a (post-free) jazz album as far as comparisons go.
I think you do need an open musical mind to appreciate it.
This should definitely be in print - his best, and better than an awful lot of "best" albums out there.
