Veedon Fleece
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
connoisseur van?
How many indispensable recordings can one guy release in a spectacular career? Enough for something important to get lost in the shuffle? Well, not for fellow musicians and the knowledgeable fans who have apparently treasured Veedon Fleece as a pinnacle of caledonio ...

The Best of Van Morrison Volume 3
Van Morrison
Manhattan/EMI, 2007
Too Long In Exile
I can not say enough good things about this 2 CD set. Long after the music has stopped the songs keep running though my head. What I most like about it is that the songs on it were chosen by Van Morrison which to me makes it more special and less just commercial ...

Astral Weeks
Van Morrison
Warner Bros / Wea, 1990
Delicious Exasperation
What is expressed in these songs, in the energy contained in them is something that I connected with very deeply. I think that is a lot of what art is: how well something is expressed, some feeling, emotion, struggle.... To me it soothed my soul, brought meaning to ...

Keep It Simple
Van Morrison
Lost Highway, 2008
Simply Van!!
Really, Van Morrison may age, but he just doesn't get old! Classic Van style on these tunes and his voice is strong. He's still got it! I love music, just about any type, but my husband is a "classic rock" kind of guy. I bought this CD for him (mostly), and I have ...

Van Morrison At The Movies: Soundtrack Hits
Van Morrison
Manhattan Records, 2007
Great music to my ears ...
I've been a huge Van Morrison fan since my early twenties. I started buying all his music until 'The Healing Game'. I stopped there because he was releasing an average of 2 albums per year, and my financial status was becoming at risk. I am not a fan of compilations at ...

Tupelo Honey
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
Amazing alternate take of Wild Night makes this essential!
I was focused on the sound quality of this before hand. Wondering if it would be "loud" and compressed to the point of ruining the actual dynamic range of the recordings, as many people are finding with many newly mastered cds (granted if you only listen on your ipod ...

It's Too Late To Stop Now: Live (2CD)
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
"Let Me Tell You About My Baby... Makes Me Feel Alright..." AND SO DOES THIS CD MATE!!
Taking its title from a lyric at the end of "Into The Mystic" on 1970's "Moondance", Van Morrison's 2LP live set "It's Too Late To Stop Now" was released in early 1974. It's always been a fan favourite and was equally championed by critics the world over at the time. ...

A Night in San Francisco
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
Ballads, Blues, Soul, Funk & Jazz - It's All Here On PART 2 of "It's Too Late To Stop Now"....
In the real world, another live album by Van Morrison would be met by most people & even some of his die-hard fans with a resounding yawn - yet the wonderful and largely ignored 1994 2 disc set "A Night In San Francisco" didn't and doesn't deserve that. Remastered and ...

The Healing Game
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
Classic Van
I see I am the first to write a review of this Van Morrison record which was released way back in 1997, and it doesn't surprise me. Why? Because this record never gets mentioned along with the classic Van Morrison records, and it should. You may recognize the ...

Still on Top: The Greatest Hits
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
Truly stupendous music.
Still on Top:Greatest Hits was originally released back in 2007 as a single disc 21 track set. For the more casual fan, it is still IMO the best option to get.
Now in 2008, Van Morrison has seen fit to re-release this set as an expanded 3 disc set with the same ...

Wavelength
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
One of those that grows and grows on you
This was pretty much sneered at in the British music press back in '78 when it was released. 'Too American' they wrote, 'Too MOR', 'Too mediocre'. Well there is nothing mediocre about an album that seems to sound better and even fresher than it did when it was made, 30 ...

Enlightenment
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
Here's Your Pain Medication
Instead of perscribing percocet for pain they should just perscribe Van Morrison.This album would work great for that,but then again so would pretty much all of his albums.This is if not his best,certainly one of his best of the 90's.The first half from "Real Real ...

No Guru, No Method, No Teacher
Van Morrison
Polydor / Umgd, 2008
One of Van's best...
No Guru, No Method, No Teacher is probably Van's best effort of the 1980's and easily his best album since 'Into the Music' in 1979. As far as the bonus tracks go, "Lonely at the Top" is a great song and would have fit on the album nicely. The alternative version of ...
