Customer Reviews
Definative Toyah
I have been a follower/fan of toyah for many years and the re-issue of all her older albums on I-Tunes is fantastic. But for me "The Changeling" has always been my absolute favourite album. It marks a real maturing in her song writing and in her vocal range. It's stood the test of time well. track 5 "The Angel And Me" is the song of the album ans still sounds haunting and atomospheric today. Two oher stand ou songs here are "Street Creature" and "Run Wild Run Free" the vocals on the later are stunning and the lyrics are fantastic.There is something special about this album that is hard to put into words but it should definately be in your collection! This album is a classic of it's kind and a fogotten masterwork of Toyah's.Of course it contains the song Brave New World, but the album version is stunning and if you get the chance watch the video for this song on you tube Toyah looks amazing one of my favourite of her images over the years. Though the album before this Anthem was a massive success I can say hand on heart this is every bit as successful. It sees toyah refining her craft and experimenting with her sound, it's also quite a visionary album too lyrically. I never tire of listening to this album and totally reccommened it to you. It's an album you need to spend time with so it unfolds it's magic gently over you, but you'll be rewarded for your trouble. I think at the time of it's original release people began to really listen to her as an artist. I feel that in it's own unique way this album is timeless. I feel too it's quite a personal album for Toyah and it is for me too. If you only buy one album by this brilliantly original artist it should definately be this one>
A blast from the past that stands firm today
My first ever gig, when I was a mere 14 or 15 years old, was Toyah at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1981. I had a huge crush on her as a kid and this, quite possibly, created an almost religious love for her music. However, the years pass on and our teenage crushes become mere memory and we sometimes ask ourselves 'Was the music as good as I truly remember?'
Well, I haven't listened to these tracks for a fair few years now but I have to say - and my feelings may well be tainted by the golden-tinged lenses of nostalgia - that I do feel this is a very accomplished album by a very fine band of musicians (because, of course, at the time I was as much a fan of the Toyah band as Toyah the woman) and I feel each and every track has a true personality of its own. Toyah has a huge emotional range, and although I don't feel she is as professional a singer as, say, Florence (from Florence and the Machine), she is just as varied in flavour and as passionate as any modern female singer around today and, really, I'd recommend this to anyone to give a try. You never know, you might find yourself liking someone you'd barely heard of or, even, in your dotage, appreciating someone that you might have let pass you by at the time.
Me, well, I've bought this album now (having got rid of my vinyl version many moons ago) and am looking forward to whacking it on my iPod and experiencing all it's musical wonder again, being especially pleased that there are some fine bonus tracks here which were once beloved B-Sides in my singles collection.
Happy memories
Strange to listen to this again after so much time (my tape died years ago). But good. No idea what it's about half the time but I don't think that matters and it's pleasing to know that there were times when they'd let people make albums like this. I'd be contented enough with life if I'd managed to write Angel and Me.
