I like not just the way he rhymes 'Munich' with 'tunic', but also the way in which he stresses the syllables so that there is no hint of forcing the rhyme.
Stewart tailors the style to content masterfully. In 'Joe the Georgian', a song about the brutality of Stalin, the balalaika music seems only to highlight the meaninglessness of the show trials and mindless brutality.

Al Stewart is a British singer/songwriter, best known for the 1976 hit single 'The Year of the Cat'.

Beautiful, often haunting 
sometimes you want something a little more upbeat..in which case put something else on A brilliant album from a wonderful artist She isn't here to see her success Unusual, intelligent songs; nice combination of genres; musicianship Sometimes annoying juvenilia style lyrics; some weak tracks Beautiful Album, beautiful singing a couple of tracks not up to standard.Why Try Harder: The Greatest Hits - Fatboy Slim
Dance & Electronic - Electronica - 2006
Le Secret - Alcest
Innovative merging of black metal and indie shoegazing that works better than expected. Lacking in variety, and often self-contradictory.

Loads of Great Songs Some rubbish ones
New Wave - Against Me
Highly energised, tightly packed slab of contemporary rock, with no indie influence in sight. Relies on older styles as much as it forsakes the modern.
Navajo Joe - Ennio Morricone - Soundtrack
An infectuously wild and fun spaghetti western from the pen of the maestro Slightly repetitive, but not to any great detriment
Long Road Out Of Eden - Eagles
Completes your eagles collection Alot of filler tracks.
Live A L'olympia - Jeff Buckley
Vocals, Music, Brilliance, Lyrics, Raw Energy, Passion Very little
Fantasmagorie - Akurat
Fun and skilfully executed modern ska tunes. Indecipherable lyrics (for non-Poles) and less imaginative reggae sections.
If Emotions Still Burn - Ablaze My Sorrow
A pleasant surplus of lead guitar melodies balanced out with some angry death metal. Overly repetitive, and too similar to Dark Tranquillity and others to truly stand out.
Horrorhammer - Abscess
Fairly enjoyable mix of death metal and hardcore punk. Hugely inconsistent and lacking in substance.
