Review# 185Potentially a biased review since this is probably one of my most played albums at the moment but here it is: BUY THIS ALBUM AND MAKE EAR LOVE TO IT AS IT IS AMAZING!
Ok... So a slightly more proper review yeah? Mourning Sun is the most recent (2005) album from these semi-active British reclusive's. And is the only FOTN Carl McCoy approved studio album since 1990 (since the 1996 Zoon was released under another moniker and Carl does not recognise the 2002 album Fallen but that is for another review).
The sound on the whole is classic FOTN but bigger, the production is huge but without compromising any of the layers of the band. Every instrument is clear and defined and resonates with the familiar stamp of the earlier albums. While Carl parted ways with former FOTN bassist and collaborator Tony Pettit after the Fallen release he has again teamed up with John "Capachino" Carter who played bass on Zoon and does a fantastic job of keeping up the signature FOTN bass sound. The rest of the music sounds amazing too and as usual Carl's vocals are stunning, keeping him in one of the top positions for my favourite singers.
So take my previous shouted statement and go get the album... Amazon UK have the best price and availability...
