CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description 2004 album from Robin Proper-Sheppard, formerly of The God Machine. This, his stunning debut for City Slang may be the first record that he has released through another label in ten years, but he has at no point relinquished control of his music. Recorded and produced without any outside influences or intervention and then licensed to City Slang, it sees the sound of Sophia develop significantly from the introverted and almost country-tinged sounds of the first two studio albums, blossoming into a far more broad-shouldered beast, one that carries far more weight and even more intensity. It may at first be a shock to hear the band lean back towards the sound of his previous band, The God Machine, but it merely reflects the way that the band have grown whilst performing live. Enhanced CD features 10 tracks & includes screensaver & lyrics. Digipak. City Slang/Labels. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBest Sophia CD to date Will Blandin | Boston, MA USA | 09/01/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This release slightly encompasses the sounds of Sheppards other bands ( The God Machine and the May Queens) along with the beauty of the acoustic tones of Sophia. A perfect mix that makes this CD a MUST have. Highlights are 'Swept back' 'Desert Song no.2' 'Darkness'. Track 6 'If a Change Is Gonna Come' is pretty heavy and musicaly another highlight of the CD, although hampered by a cliche chourus. My initial reaction to 'I left You' being on this CD was negative. I mean, this is the third Sophia release to include that song. Why they couldn't have put a b-side like 'someday', from the 'Oh My Love' EP on this album instead I don't know. But this version of I left you, is the best one and it's a very good song. I would have loved to hear a new studio version of 'Ship in the sand'. Sophia Just keeps on getting better and better. This cd will most likely be on permanent rotation in my player." Highly essential D.M. | Boston | 12/27/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am always amazed when a release of this quality does not receive the widespread recognition it deserves. While I have nothing specific to add that the other reviewer has not said, I do consider this essential listening, much like Catherine Wheel, Talk Talk, etc. If you are hesitating, you should do yourself a favor and get it.
Note, this Sophia has nothing to do with the CD deal offered by Amazon for Sophia ~ Return. Different bands. Hidden Waters, Chakra, etc. Those are not the Robin Proper Sheppard band. Pay attention, Amazon." |
