Synopsis

Album Description
Legendary British Invasion innovators The Zombies made some of the most sublime melodic pop-rock of the 1960s, and their three Top 10 smashes?"She?s Not There," "Tell Her No," and "Time Of The Season"?are all-time classic hits. Their distinctive sound was due in large part to Colin Blunstone?s masterful vocals and Rod Argent?s keyboard wizardry. The reunited pair proves that theirs is a timeless partnership with AS FAR AS I CAN SEE . . . , the first studio album of original Zombies material in more than 30 years!

CD Reviews

Simply fabulous
S. Motley | 10/21/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album took some time to grow on me, but once the songs were familiar I could appreciate them so much more. Instant favorites were the upbeat tunes of In My Mind a Miracle and Time to Move. I Want to Fly and Wings Against the Sun are perfectly suited to Blunstone's hauntingly ethereal voice. With You Not Here and Together feature layered harmonies that are wonderfully satisfying. This version of I Don't Believe in Miracles is proof that Blunstone has only improved with age and Argent's backing vocals add an extra dimension.

Although most people I know rank Memphis among their favorites, I'm not so fond of the string arrangement (it sounds a little Disney) and although it's still a great song, compared to the other incredible songs on this album it falls towards the bottom. The titletrack is slowly growing on me 9 months later (it's jazzy, but slow). The only two songs that I can't say are "great" are Southside of the Street, which sounds predictable and cliche (but perfect for Rod's voice), and Look for a Better Way which is slow and draggy.



This album features a wide variety of sounds, all of them wonderful. Highly recommended!"
Bunnie Lake is No Longer Missing

"I used to run to the record store to buy their new 45s. I saw Bunnie Lake is Missing 10 times to hear them sing "Just Out of Reach." I was and still am the biggest fan of these guys! Blunstones voice is from somewhere else and As Far As I Can See both inspires and haunts me.I always loved Argent's keyboard work too! Everyone I have had listen to this absolutely loves it! What do we have to do to get these guys the recognition they deserve?"
Just saw them again in 30 years

"All I can say is I'm impressed. In the 60's I thought they were "average" and, to be honest, didn't buy a single album.....but just saw them live....and was blown away. Colin Blunstone has the voice of an angel...and the talent to throw it out just right....Rod Argent on keyboards is magical. Colin's voice compares to "the picture of Dorion Grey" in it's strength....thought for a minute a 20 yr. old was on stage. Amazing. Detractors beware....insecurity of the "pop" scene won't discourage real fans...Colin and Rod deserve Pop royalty, the only reason they didn't get it before ( "in the 60's ) was because of their gentlemanly lyrics......which is ( and was ) not popular in wartime ( which is all the time ). Peaceful people will like this."
