Additional information
Personnel: Mike Silver (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, glockenspiel, background vocals); Chris Jones (guitar, acoustic guitar); Nils Tuxen (dobro); Beo Brockhausen (flute, glockenspiel, percussion); Hrólfur Vagnsson (accordion). Photographer: Günter Pauler. There is something to be said for directness in songwriting. As much as obscure metaphors and abstract imagery can be intriguing, it can be nice to have a clear statement, easily understood, to give concrete direction and purpose to the listener. However, it can also go too far. On Heaven in Mind, British singer/songwriter Mike Silver, who's been in the business since the '70s, is oftentimes so focused on conveying his actual message that he forgets that there needs to be something interesting for his audience to grab onto. It doesn't help that in the liner notes to the album, Silver adds brief explanations about where each piece came from and what it means, as if the lyrics and titles weren't enough ("Doesn't mean that he's not wishing/That he could say in terms she'll comprehend/The fundamental differences/That exist between some women and some men," he explains in "Who Wants to Be the One"?). And Silver's neither country nor folky enough that his storytelling or openness can come across as simply a characteristic of the genre; it just sounds campy, and it gets annoying rather quickly. However, the songs in which Silver explores bluesier territory, like "Midnight Train," "Main Man's Ear," or even his cover of "Love Potion No. 9" (which is pretty good, like something that could've been found on a Clapton Unplugged album), his straightforward style works a lot better, and it doesn't come across as excessive. It also helps that while these songs, like everything else on Heaven in Mind, are quite cleanly produced, they're also lacking the strings and layered acoustic guitars found on much of the rest of the record that's so adult contemporary and nearly lifeless. Silver has a nice voice, and he knows how to make a well-composed song with familiar melodies, and the guitar playing, especially the interplay between him and Chris Jones, is great, but his attempts to write lyrics that everyone can understand get in the way of his music and end up hurting the overall effect of the album. ~ Marisa Brown

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
