As most people will not have heard this album it can be very irritating to read a smug review by someone who has.If you're reading this, however, the chances are you are either a Tim Buckley fan already or are looking for information on the group 'Starsailor'.Can't help those in the second category but for any devotees of Buckley not lucky enough to own a copy of this album, I can only hope that it does receive another pressing because it is simply too good to remain an unheard obscure footnote.
'Starsailor' takes the experimentation of 'Lorca' - particularly that album's title track - to it's logical conclusion.The spikey rhythms and intense vocal gymnastics make for sometimes disturbing listening and as a standalone album it would probably not entice the listener unfamiliar with Buckley's previous efforts, despite the appearance of 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Song To The Siren'.However, each song improves with repeated listening as one becomes more familiar with it's radical shifts and each song does inhabit a genre of it's own.
Lyrically Buckley is also out on a limb - witness the unfettered outburst of 'Mama let me smell your thighs' on opener 'Come Here Woman'.
It is this unrestrained freedom of expression, in words and in music, that makes 'Starsailor' such compelling listening.Try listening to 'Greetings From L.A.' after this; you will find it formulaic and bland.To paraphrase the man himself: 'If you come to love [Starsailor], you will stay forever...'
