The third full-length of Morning Again on Revelation Records. A cool coincidence that it’s nineties style galore and that it’s on Revelation Records. Another release that breaths the nineties would be “Life. Love. Regret” from Unbroken on New Age Records. Although this one is a tad heavier and more classic to me personally.
It was a long time ago that I was able to buy this one, but never came around featuring it on this blog. So here it is. It’s actually a pretty rare record with only 208 copies on coloured vinyl ever. All the rest is black.
I saw the band once in Bissegem at the OC (for those who don’t know, that’s a town near Kortrijk and OC stand for ‘ontmoetingscentrum’ in Dutch). It was in the time period this record came out and it was of course Kevin singing. They were on tour with 25 Ta Life back then.
The lyrics are of most intelligent kind. Still relevant to this very moment as the lyrical content was way ahead of it’s time. Damien wrote more introspective lyrics while these were already more outwards. I mean dealing with topics that affect a person not directly but more indirectly because of the surrounding sociological nature of it. Everlasting topics like love, immigration, tradition (religion), warfare, freedom of decision, homosexuality… The global relevance of these topics only grows nowadays.
The music is like a wall of sound, heavier than their previous releases. With still that melodic touch that typifies Morning Again so much. I’m still loving it…
One response to “Morning Again as tradition dies slowly”
Great record, great cover, great vinyl colour choice. Oh, and great score dude!
