Album Name: Strange Behaviour
Artist: Karnataka
Year/Label: 2004 / Immarama Records
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
This is a love album by the brilliant Karnataka. The bands progressive sound and powerful songs come across well on these two cds.
“Time Stands still” is a n epic and evocative opener. Rachel Jones singing is lovely and Paul Davies gets to shine on guitar.
“After the Rain” is a wonderful song. It’s reminiscent of Clannad and has a spirited lead vocal and a soaring chorus. Anne-Marie Helder plays the flute well too.
“Heaven Can Wait” gets a beautiful reading.
The last album “Delicate Flame of Desire” had a strong title track that gets a nice version. Jones and Helders voices are in perfect synch with each other.
The new song “These Dreams Are Over” promises more gems in the future.
“Must be the Devil” is an atmospheric song with plenty of fire. Jones sounds angelic despite the title.
Another new song “Talk to me” shows that the band continue to write great songs.
“Strange Behavior” makes me wish I could see them live soon.
