Parallel Universe - recorded in 2008
The new CD is finally out after a year
in the studio and contains 11 rich and diverse songs which, as
Paul Strahan, recording producer, likes to say..."It's
a little slice of history". True enough, as this collection
of songs looks not only at the eternally powerful theme of love
for partner, (Forever), passion (In the blood)
and children (SNAP) but also at very strong issues for
everyone in the 21st century - the stresses of living in the
information age (Liquid Blue), concerns about the environment
and terrorism (Rainbows after rain) and dictatorship
(Magic Wand). There are also some wonderfully spiritual true-story
songs (Charlie, Grandpa's watch) and the favourite hit
emerging appears to be the song Tracey wrote about her 4WD (if
Joni can do it with Big Yellow Taxi, Tracey can do it
with Big Red Truck!).
This album is powerful yet smooth, it's
fun, dynamic and thought provoking with melodic songs, intelligent
lyrics, strong arrangements and exceptional musicianship. Style
and sass.
"Big, bold and brassy"
Phil Smith, Halftone Records
