Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Named for a cut that originally appeared on his Tumbleweed Connection album, Madman Across the Water yielded some of Elton John's earliest AOR staples. "Tiny Dancer", like the previous "Your Song", was introduced and carried by John's masterful piano composition. The song's sense of longing also employed the falsetto chorus that would become as much of a trademark as his costumes. "Levon", another entry into the John/Taupin "ballad of" category, is one of their finest pieces. The orchestration gives the song not only its sense of foreboding, but also its release of tension as the song ends. "Rotten Peaches" became a favourite, as did "Holiday Inn". There's also a different interpretation of the title track than appeared on Tumbleweed Connection. --Steve Gdula

5.0 out of 5 stars
this album sowed the seed of popmusic in me,
By A Customer
This review is from: Madman Across The Water (Audio CD)
When I was 13 years-old,I saved my pocket-money to buy something new,maybe I wanted to make sure of that I finished my childhood.then I went to a record shop,chose this casually,only for reason why the jacket of bluejean was cool for me at that time.but the choice was one of the best that I have made. the player`s needle putted on the vinyldisc and played the introduction of piano,only a few sound of piano washed my childish taste in music off. that pure sound showed me the way to quality music. 30 years passed, my disc was lost but the sound is alive in my mind and I still adore it.

Aweseom SACD,

This review is from: Madman Across The Water (Audio CD)
Excellent music and excellent sound quality. If you care about these two things, get yourself some SACDs and something to play them on. Many Playstation 3 units before the most recent ones will work (check to be sure though) and most if not all of the latest Sony Blu-Ray players work too (i.e. the 2010 models just released). SACD is awesome technology for music lovers especially jazz and classical for which there are a lot of releases every month. Enjoy!

Early EJ is Wonderful!,

This review is from: Madman Across The Water (Audio CD)
EJ got a lot of people to notice after this one. This album was produced before he got really big..before Yellow Brick Road, but it shows the raw talent that the man had to be one of the world's best ever pop stars! Title track, "Levon" and "Razor Face" are the best songs on the CD.
