<font size="1">added on May 10, 2007, at 17:32 by allcdcovers</font><br /><br /><table><tr valign="top"><td>Morrison's vision finds a mellow, subdued expression here. Instead of his jubilant R&B numbers or his more passionate vocalising, the mysticism here is drawn out in slow pieces like Celtic Ray and Northern Muse, the last with particularly beautiful female backing vocals. The more uptempo Dweller On The Threshold with its esoteric imagery has a lovely lilting rhythm and joyful sax, whilst the powerful title track shows his strong voice at its best. Aryan Mist is another great flowing piece and Across The Bridge Where Angels Dwell is dreamy and meditative, also embellished with gorgeous female vocals. Scandinavia is a moody instrumental with prominent piano or keyboards, like a theme from an art movie. This is not the most familiar Van Morrison album and the songs do not display his usual musical variety, but I enjoy it and there are some great moments here. If you're in the mood for a more quiet, contemplative spiritual listening experience, you'll find much here to enjoy. But if you prefer a more rousing form of gnosis, try a song like Be Thou My Vision from Hymns To The Silence. Both Van, both beautiful.</td><td><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "pub-5821412950245701";google_alternate_color = "F5F5FF";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;google_ad_format = "336x280_as";google_ad_type = "text";google_ad_channel = "0725529317";google_color_border = "F5F5FF";google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";google_color_link = "22229C";google_color_text = "000000";google_color_url = "333333";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="15"><tr align="center"><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/35944/van_morrison_beautiful_vision_retail_cd/back"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/e/7/e78d416edb880d8fdd08a6568e823e58.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/35944/van_morrison_beautiful_vision_retail_cd/back">back</a></strong><br><font size="1">892 x 694 px</font></td><td valign="bottom"><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/35944/van_morrison_beautiful_vision_retail_cd/front"><img src="/image_system/covers_th/7/8/7817774cf9b30d7b08ed397fd091aaf1.jpg" border="0"></a><br><strong><a href="http://www.allcdcovers.com/show/35944/van_morrison_beautiful_vision_retail_cd/front">front</a></strong><br><font size="1">800 x 800 px</font></td></tr></table>
