    5 out of 5 stars Great god, an electro/dance-punk band no one has heard of!.......2004-06-05

    With the Rapture and everyone all popular to have a band like Beautiful Skin, a wonderfull dark sexy Joy Divisiony electro-punk band, barely known is kind of sad, mainly because they really blow the Rapture to pieces. Beautiful Skin is very early New Order, dark and thumping with very electronic oriented sounds, and punk elements. The record is very sexy in a dark almost techno way. The vocals are cool and never the high girlish sound of the Rapture or the twisted screams of the Liars, being more, again New Order and Joy Division. Beautiful Skin deserve to be much bigger then they seem to be, but they'll get there if they keep playing, and somehow I bet their next cd will be even better, and then maybe they'll get some more press.
    Let's hope they keep going, because they are a great band and I hope they get better known.

    5 out of 5 stars Great songs that remind me of the early 80's........2001-08-16

    This is definitely one of the best albums I bought this year. Every song on here is good and there are a few real gems that are amazing songs. The sound of the album reminds me of Joy Division and The Cure with influences from just about every cool electronic band from the late 70's and early 80's.

    While Robin Williamson went on to record dozens of releases, we've heard little from Mike Heron. In fact, it's been hard to think of Mike Heron outside the context of the Incredible String Band and the company of the gifted Mr. Willliamson. But this record actually accomplishes that feat: when listening to "Where the Mystics Swim" Mike's voice, words and instruments create a complete whole that thrives outside the history of ISB. Setting aside some of the questionable "rock" records Mike released with the band "Heron", we really have only two solo albums before "Mystics" - "Conflict of Emotions", which is certainly worth having, and the brilliant "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations" (why hasn't this been reissued on CD?), his first solo album which featured John Cale, of all people. With "Mystics" we have an intelligent, gentle and consistently radiant album driven forward by Mike's unique voice, made even more interesting and compelling with the passing of years. Mike Heron's work has always been highly original, but here it is also highly accessible. I say this because I must confess to some difficulty, even 30 years ago, in sitting all the way through a song like "White Bird" from the ISB's "Changing Horses". "Mystics" never dives to any level of meandering self-indulgence. Song for song, I wouldn't bother to pick out favorites. The case with this CD is simply that each song lives and breathes on its own . The overall effect is one that delivers an unhurried beauty tempered by time and experience, and made all the more profound by the silence of the intervening years.

    The String Band were always ahead of their time; Mike's latest ventures are so far ahead of their time it'll be the 22nd century before he is really appreciated and understood. This latest material is wonderful and sensitive and points to where we should be going after we finally get over the upheavals of the 60's and start getting on with our lives. It's a common experience to listen to a great album and not like it at first; after a few listenings the sounds sink in and we understand how great it is; it brings us new experiences rather than pandering to our former selves. This version of the album brings Mike's voice to an audible level. I wish he was appreciated more by the general populace but heck at least we get a CD once in a while! Tom and Alexi is beautiful, Leaning on my Heart as well; if you want to GROW, this is the place to start!

    3 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Album, but not Incredible.......2000-12-19

    Since the split of the Incredible String Band and the subsequent demise of his sadly overlooked "Reputation" adventures, Mike Heron has been much less prolific than his erstwhile partner Robin Wiliamson. Its entirely understandable that Mike should prefer staying home and enjoying life to the rigours and expectations of touring and recording, but this album (which originally came out around the same time as the duo's reunion gigs in 1997, and has since been re-mixed by Lawson Dando) represented a welcome return to the fray, even though the results are somewhat less exciting than his String Band forays into the musical unknown. All the songs are well crafted and well played, with excellent support from his three backing musicians, but only the magnificently atmospheric "A Song For Robert Johnson" and the touching "1968" could really be described as special in any way. Elswhere Mike seems to be playing safe; I don't blame him for this and I'm glad he made this album - but the guy is capable of producing much more interesting and individualistic music. I hope he'll be encouraged by the success of the recent String Band reunions - where he received rapturous recognition for "This Moment" and "Maker of Islands" - to produce the killer album he has always been capable of.

      Album Description

      With his third formal release to date, Washington, DC's own PAUL MICHEL has stripped down to the purest essence of his sound (an acoustic guitar and his trademark voice) to deliver the darkest, most vulnerable material he's ever performed. Gone is the joy and optimism of "These Are All Beautiful Things," the critically-acclaimed album that found its way onto numerous "Best of 2005" top ten lists the world over. In its place, we find the universal theme of a man losing his long-term partner while out on the road, returning to catastrophe, hitting rock bottom, and finding solace only in his music. "Revolve" is the sound of the human spirit attempting to climb from its lowest depths, 6 songs reflecting the hope for better days. The soaring vocal qualities found in tracks like "Desperate Hours" and the title track itself is both heart-wrenching and magnificent all at once. Limited exclusively to 1000 copies, "Revolve" documents an artist in transition. Long gone are! the "Beautiful Things." In late 2006, PAUL MICHEL will unload the aptly titled "A Quiet State of Panic," his next full length opus. "Revolve" sets the stage and gives us a sense of redemption lying in wait.

            5 out of 5 stars Great band.......2004-05-11

            When I first heard about this band I didn't think that two guys could create such amazing music together but, this has become one of my favorite albums to listen to; it has slow songs and faster songs that include phenomanal vocals and musical talent. You can put this album on, sit back and relax and not have to skip a single song. I have seen this band live as well and they were amazing. They are definetly missing some energy in their shows because of the lack of a bassist. But I feel that if this band wants to make it bigger than they are, they will have to add a bassist, so I suggest that you go see them while they are still playing small bars and venues.

            5 out of 5 stars A New Experience.......2003-08-27

            It's amazing what a powerfully full sound these two guys can produce. The soulful-heartfelt vocals combined with the ever changing rhythm of the guitar, add to that the most increadible drumming you've ever heard and you've got a sound that just sucks you in.
