Magic Time (Remastered) Van Morrison

Ireland's greatest pop singer/songwriter is back in action with his latest self-produced album, Magic Time,' featuring ten new Van Morrison songs as well as interpretations of three jazz classics 'This Love Of Mine', 'I'm Confessin', and 'Lonely And Blue'. Magic Time' is Van's first new album of originals since 2003's Grammy nominated What's Wrong With This Picture' and is the 38th solo release of his illustrious career.
"Magic Time is one of those rare, intermittent Van Morrison records that consciously offers a bird's eye view of everywhere he's been musically and weaves it all together into a heady brew. The last one was The Healing Game in 1997. He's made fine records since (Down the Road, Back on Top), but they've been focused on whatever Muse was pulling his coattails at the time. Magic Time is restless and freewheeling. Lyrically, it's alternately bittersweet, celebratory, and ornery. Like all of his records, notions of the past haunt these songs like familiar specters making sure they are not forgotten. Here, Celtic soul, gritty blues, fingerpopping swing, R&B, and classic pop all jockey for dominance over ten originals and three covers. Morrison's sequencing keeps them balanced and the proceedings sharp. "Stranded" has a gorgeous faux doo wop lilt, and an elegant, timeless piano that cascades from the ether as a nocturnal alto saxophone (Morrison) announces a stolid yet world-weary vocal that unhurriedly moves along to a backing chorus. One can hear traces of the Platters' "Twilight Time" and the Penguins' "Earth Angel" in its grain. "Celtic New Year" is trademark Morrison; the long, loping, repetitive line that is his trademark fuels this one. It's carried by the interplay between Morrison's acoustic and the late Foggy Lyttle's electric guitar fills, and aided by Chieftain Paddy Moloney's whistle. A moving yet unobtrusive string arrangement by Fiachra Trench lifts this tale of separation and longing into the large space inhabited by Morrison's voice. Through his lyrical frame, he reaches that place in the heart that whispers of longings so deep they lie beyond the reach of language. The scene changes on track three as the blues make their entrance on "Keep Mediocrity at Bay" (with some fine harp work by Morrison), and the wondrously gritty "Evening Train." On the latter, it's Lyttle's guitar (the album is dedicated to him) and David Hayes' whomping bass that drive the engine, with Morrison and horns punching up into the maelstrom. Lyttle's knotty razored fills push Morrison's roaring vocal on to the ledge. The covers all come from the American jazz canon: Fats Waller's "Lonely and Blue," and two tunes associated with Frank Sinatra -- "I'm Confessin'" and "This Love of Mine" (with lyrics by him!). These tunes are beautifully placed in the album's mix and Morrison's readings are serious, very credible. While "Just Like Greta" is yet another Morrison litany to be left alone, its seductive melody draws the listener deep in with its shimmering organ, pronounced hypnotic line, mournful strings, and a chorus of female voices that add a softer dimension to its edgy intent. "Gypsy in My Soul" is pure, nocturnal velvet funk with great piano work by Brian Connor. The acoustic "The Lion This Time" is one of the finest ballads Morrison has cut in decades. Period. "Carry On Regardless," is a stinging, jagged reggae-touched blues that sends the proceeding out in near riotous joy. Magic Time may look back over decades, but it's far from nostalgic. It connects the musical past to Morrison's present and points to a future in the timelessness of great musical tradition. And it displays in spades that its creator never stops looking for new ways to go deeper into the heart of song." (Thom Jurek, AMG)

Reviews for "The Mysterious Allure of Dept 56 Witch Hollow Series"

1. John - 1 star

I was really disappointed with the Dept 56 witch hollow series. The quality of the figurines was poor and they easily broke within a few weeks of having them. The paint job was sloppy and the details were not well-defined. The price tag on these items was quite high, and for the quality I received, it was definitely not worth it. I would not recommend purchasing anything from this series if you are looking for durable and well-made collectibles.

2. Sarah - 2 stars

I had high hopes for the Dept 56 witch hollow series, but they fell short of my expectations. The designs of the figurines were interesting, but they were much smaller than I anticipated. The pieces lacked the level of detail and craftsmanship that I have come to expect from other collectible series by Dept 56. The accessories that came with some of the pieces were flimsy and didn't fit well with the overall theme. It was a disappointment overall, and I wouldn't invest in this series again.

3. Emily - 2 stars

I was not impressed with the Dept 56 witch hollow series. The figurines seemed cheaply made and lacked the intricate details that I was expecting. The paint job was subpar and there were noticeable flaws on some of the pieces. Additionally, some of the characters looked very similar to each other, making it difficult to distinguish between them. The price of the items was also quite high compared to the quality received. Overall, I was underwhelmed and would not recommend this series to collectors looking for high-quality pieces.
