Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In their latest album TripTYCH, The Tea Party have very gracefully combined music elements from earlier releases 'The Edges of Twilight' and 'Transmission.' Their experimentation with world instruments is once again demonstrated in The Halcyon Days (oud) and Samsara (sitar) and their electronica fusion is also evident in singles such as 'Touch.'
This time around, however, the Tea Party have come out with a more melodious and complete album. They have balanced many elements of traditionally great rock albums with new, innovative ways of presenting music. As an example, after listening to Heaven Coming Down about twenty times, I noticed a distant bell chiming in the background. It seems that The Tea Party have made great strides to perfecting subtle layered textures in music.
TripTych also features The Tea Party's first cover song -- track six is The Messenger by Daniel Lanois, a longstanding features of their live concerts but never before released.
Canadian Singles (in order): Heaven Coming Down, Touch, The Messenger, These Living Arms and, most recently, Gone. Gone is my favourite song on TripTych, featuring heavy violas and cellos from the Montreal Symphony Orchestra as well as a acousitic guiter tuned normally (rare!) and Jeff Martin's emotional ballad about a lost love.
TripTych is an excellent album by three of the most talented muscians in rock music today. Give it a spin...
