Let Peter Introduce You to the Music of Turkey...
As many reviewers here, I have been a captivated PM fan since Deep. Although Deep remains my absolute favorite and my choice for recommending to new PM listeners, this was a welcome peek into the more personal side of Mr. Murphy. Although I was blown away by "Things to Remember," which has been playing non-stop in my car for the last week, I too found that a few of the latter songs didn't hold my interest as well. However, it's a wonderful album that really does get better with age and every subsequent listen, and it's encouraging to note that Mr. Murphy is still out there taking chances and putting out new sounds. After all, I'm sure than Bauhaus had its shaky receptions at first, and Mr. Murphy is simply continuing to forge through new musical territory for the more discerning listeners in this world. A friend of mine remarked that this album is a great way to get the musically illiterate to pay attention to the fabulous musics of Turkey and other cultures. Buy it for the first song, but also buy it for a wonderful record of Mr. Murphy's fabulous voice and some really wicked tabla and electic violin riffs.

Songs from golden dust!
This album was made in 2005 not 2001! It's a diamond amongst stones, and like the diamond it has an authentic and geniune sparkle. The whole musical environment really sounds natural and spontaneous, and it's as if Peter has returned or found a place/environment, which he has always been part of and comfortable with. Peter's incredible voice, reflects/mirror's the music so naturally and perfectly... That diamond voice cut from a star, unveils it's colourfully rich baritone caress, in a much more intimate and spontaneous style. There is a spacious quality coloured with a spiritual beauty that leaves no image, and I really feel that this is Peter Murphy now/today. This is Peter Murphy singing from the home within his heart... Dust is free from the reigns of commercialization.

A great sense of being, humility and a feeling of great purity emanates from this powerful album... A beauty and clarity that is something quite special and undefinable. This album has such a cool balance... It is neither from the east or the west, but from the middle way. Many people are going to find this album really inspiring, it's unique!

I was scented away, and to put that experience into action is quite simple... "The proof, as always, must come with the eating, so I suggest you claim your portion and relish it".

Overlooked, Underrated
It's such a rarity when an artist actually gets better over a period of time. Such an example is Peter's latest album 'Dust'. Legend has it that it was actually Mercan Dede who called Peter to suggest working on his next album and who suggested rerecording 'Subway' and 'My Last Two Weeks'. Both of those songs have never sounded better in my opinion. The beauty of 'Dust' is that it so perfectly blends the influences of both Turkish and Western music culture. The songs, which were written inside of a week, are very emotional and personal. 'Girlchild Aglow' was written about Murphy's relationship with his daughter and how it has changed with time. Although Murphy's vocals are the focal point, the music doesn't take a back seat, blending electronic sounds with some incredible-sounding real percussion, not to mention input from some great musicians such as violinist Hugh Marsh who we all remember from 'Alive...Just For Love'. I really can't say enough about how much I love this album. It should have recieved awards. It should have sold in the millions. Do yourself a favor and purchase one of the best albums of all time by one of the best vocalists of all time.
