Product Description
Album Description
Celestial slices & sidereal sounds. 'Nightsongs,' the debut album from Stars contains beautiful beats, heartfelt lyrics, & enough injections of Morrissey, Marr, Derrick May, Bjork, The Blue Nile, New Order, Frazier Chorus, Style Council, Electronic, Marvin Gaye, The Chimes, & De La Soul to move St. Etienne & all the angels up in heaven to tears. Put this disc in your system, turn it up & just let the music flow. A dizzying array of words will fall from the mouths of Stars, while band mates Torquil Campbell, Chris Seligman & their gaggle of electronics & associates play poet to your past & pervert to your present. Their clubby cover of the Smiths' 'This Charming Man' is sure to win them some instant fans, but their original compositions will have this band living up to their moniker in no time. The soft revolution starts here! Features 14 tracks of pure heaven including 2 bonus tracks, 'Toxic Holiday' & 'My

Introduction to the Soft Revolution,
By Cris "protovirus" (jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightsongs (Audio CD)
Stars' Nightsongs is a healthy taste of sonic goodness. The instrumentation is fitting and the some of the grooves are truly infectious. If I had to sum up the lyrical content of this disc in one word I would use honest. They do make the attempt to softly push the pop format beyond it's radio restricted boundaries and sometimes even succeed. The female lead and backing vocals are delicious (ba bop bop baaa) and the male leads voice fits the tracks very well. If you enjoy reflecting on life while listening to music alone this disc will assist. It has a very secure spot in my listening rotation. Highly recommended for discriminating listeners that enjoy emotion generating electronica.

A digital Prefab Sprout,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nightsongs (Audio CD)
20 years ago Prefab Sprout was crucified for producing catchy, lushly textured pop tunes (just like Stars) by many of the same mags that are saluting Nightsongs and Heart. Stars' tinny, compressed, vacuum-packed sound is flat. Bascially two dimensional. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. If you like this type of candy, Prefab Sprout has a much more natural (and accoustic) flavor.

Gaze upon the STARS,
By JOEY F. SAMSON (TAYTAY, RIZAL Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightsongs (Audio CD)
This CD was destined to be included not among the best of my collection - but as the BEST so far. I've discovered this CD at amazon.com by chance when I was searching for the NIGHTSONGS and LULLABIES album by Jim Chappell and the tracks I listened to made me feel the urge to get this ONE...I'm not a SMITHS fan (sorry) but I've got the "EARS" to listen to what makes these songs so special and I don't mind whether they made it to the charts or not. It's the feeling that goes with it that counts and the samples alone made me feel so good like as if I wanna slouch in my couch, drink beer and eat my favorite chips.I don't mind if you guys don't find this review helpful...I don't really care! All I care bout' now is let my EARS gaze upon the STARS... :-)
