Product Description
Amazon.ca
The Tea Party's 1993 debut, Splendor Solis, may not be marked by the Eastern influences that would characterize later releases, but it's no less ambitious. Combining a plethora of styles and sounds, from folk and rock to blues, into one heady--and heavy--sound, the Tea Party don't so much write songs as craft mini-epics to showcase their sprawling repertoire of global instruments. Add vocalist-guitarist Jeff Martin's rumbling baritone and somewhat hippy-dippy lyrics, and Splendor Solis is at once a throwback to the '60s and a tip-off to the trio's future as one of Canada's most adventurous rock bands. --Adem Tepedelen

amazing album,
By
This review is from: Splendor Solis (Audio CD)
This album is amazing. "Winter Solstice" is a musical masterpiece and "In this time" has beautiful lyrics. The Tea Party's lyrical content based on mythology is very interesting. This album is definately one of my favorites.

Celtic rock,
By I ain't no porn writer (author, "Crippled Dreams") - See all my reviews
This review is from: Splendor Solis (Audio CD)
This album got me hooked on Tea party, and I was hooked early. This early Celtic folk rock effort was awesome, it matured some more with the next album, and then in Transmission we see the real polished Tea Party sound. In this first effort Tea Party were still evolving as songwriters, and this "roughness" shows, but hardly subtracts from the songs because they are just very good regardless. David Rehak

A Great First Album Full Of Life,
By
This review is from: Splendor Solis (Audio CD)
Windsor, Ontario, Canada based band The Tea Party hit it big with their first album Splendor Solis. With songs like The River and Save Me putting them up there right away with recognition here in Canada and in Australia. For years the United States remained almost completely unknown of their existence. Not till sometime later had the United States been openly exposed to this bands great talent. This album has it all: Blues, solid rock, and accoustic love balads. The hard blues hitting song Sun Going Down was rooted from Robert Johnson intertwined with some Led Zeppelin(which isn't surprising knowing that Jimmy Page was one of lead singer Jeff Martin's inspirations). The first song The River should get you hooked if you like hard rock. The second song Midsummer Day is a softer tripped out song with a mix of rock and roll. This album has a wonderful mix. If you've never heard of The Tea Party then you are missing out. Listen to this album many times if you want to get a feel for this band at all. They're big worldwide and still a bit underground when it comes to American popularity. Success in the States for them hasn't been necessary for The Tea Party to make them as big as they are today. Get this album it's quite unique and amazing!
