Customer Reviews of Rhyme
Songs That Don't Make It On To Church Albums As the guitarist for the Church, Marty Willson-Piper has been in and around the fringe of music since the early eighties. What is different about his solo records is how quiet they are. This is by far his strongest solo release. His last two efforts seemed a little too much like Church outtakes.
The songs on this record are intimate and you can luxuriate in his guitar work. He sucessively creates an atmosphere in songs such as Whisper and you can picture him sequestered somewhere in a studio in Stockholm.
I'm not even sure if this is still in print but it is definitely worth seeking our in a used record store if you like the Church, or more specifically if you like Marty Willson-Piper songs on the Church's albums.
Timeless recording of excellent music
This album is one of my all time favorites from my High School days. But don't get me wrong, this is not "high school" music. It is more truly appreciated by an adult audience. The recording on this is timeless. Unlike most albums that I purchased in High School, this one never sounds dated. If you like the Church, you'll like this album. If you like elegant, beautiful lyrics and music, you'll like this album.
Lovely intelligent guitar pop, but his other stuff is better
Away from the twin-guitar shimmering new-wave guitar pop of his main band The Chuch, Marty Willson-Piper has done several beautiful, reflective solo albums. Rhyme is the third.
Marty's solo stuff rocks and kicks less than the Church, and is more introspective, delicate and pretty, with some gorgeous guitar work. Moving on from the other solo albums home demos of Ín Reflection, and the acoustic richness of Art Attack (arguably his best), Rhyme taps a rich vein of jangling, accomplished 60s-influenced poppiness.
That said, there are a wealth of textures here, most notably on the strange East-European spiralling of Idiots, the ethereal floating of Forever.
If you don't have any of Marty's solo stuff, start with the inventive acousticness of Art Attack, or the more accomplished lusciousnees of his fourth album Spirit Level. But if those are difficult to track down, you can do a lot worse than this.
And by the way, if you haven't got any of his stuff with The Church, get some now (top tips: Starfish, Priest=Aura, The Blurred Crusade). And two of the other Churchies, Steve kilbey and Peter Koppes, have done excelent solo stuff too. But that's another story. Also, a Marty-less Church album, Pharmakoi by Refo:Mation is available from amazon.com
