With a large catalog of music that not many have noticed, there is a very smart and sensible move by Stone premonitions to release this compilation. The music is taken from three slices of Rabbit's Hat and one of the band Body Full Of Stars, and Tim Jones has remastered all the songs that only he can. With so much music by Rabbit's Hat as 12 of 16 songs is not so far from that work can be described as a "Best Of The Rabbit's Hat"! Just what is a good thing because this is a band that everyone should have the chance to become familiar with. We do not know the albums that the songs are from but the music is released just before the century was over. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the songs are even better now in the remastered version than for 13 - 14 years ago. Terri-B has been responsible for the front cover and her beautiful and expressive vocals are to characterize this album as a kind of update version of the American sixties and seventies progpsykedelisk music. Featured Terri-B presence in the form of the female vocals make this is a somewhat different experience than what we previously heard music from Stone premonitions. Dama its exquisite and distinctive voice can be heard most apparent in the song Ephemeral Fire. The song is also taken from the Rabbit's Hat album "Take Good Care" from 1997, where also the delicious and exciting song "My Sanity Dissolve" is taken. Tracks 5 through 8 are from the album "Outsiders" by Rabbit's Hat, and is a work that is surprisingly close to more commercial music. There, among other things, "rescue" the album is that Tim Jones stands for injections of programming on these tracks which adds the sonic many småsprø whim. When we get to the song 9 to 12 units band constellation Body Full Of Stars, and the album is called "Falling Angels". The music is more bluesstenket and rhythm is rich, clever and often full ethnic excursions. Lyrical is for us cryptic cases, while the guitar work of Tim Jones, however, is not difficult to understand but just gorgeous! The last four tracks on this album is again from the Rabbit's Hat, from the album "Pierce The Dark" as far as we can understand the band's fourth and latest album? In our ears, and based on only these four tracks this seems to be an almost unheard of exciting disc. Complex layers of melodic vocals, processed electric guitar, tribal rhythms, unusual instrumentation, creative tension and real music that challenges us as listeners. As a bonus, it is very audible and it is commercially acceptable and a distinctive, beautiful and true artistic expression goes hand in hand. The song "Immaculate Deception" has a text that we just love and dealing with Christianity at its most hypocritical! Also fine tune "Darwin On The Shelf" has an important message to people in the form of that evolution can not go on now because the "fashion driven the selection"! "Sweet Meats Of The Dead" is the happy owner of a superb vocal duet between Terri-B and Tim Jones, and once again shines the latter, and this time with an extraordinary guitar solo. As a fabulous finale we knallaten "Baird My Soul" which is most becomingly draped in a little frightening sound. Scary is not in any way this works, but more filled with the available music by more than NOK essence and quality that we are enjoying ourselves. The lyrics are consistently interesting and meaningful and technical instrumental is a high level. When also latkolleksjonen are generally of high quality and with interesting låtstrukturer this is an album we put on with great joy. Musical creativity and adventurous spirit and an eternal quest to write and produce music of high standard is behavior that we can never get the NOK of.
