This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Michael Nyman. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Michael Nyman’s new album to that on ‘The Essential Michael Nyman Band (Compilation)’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. seven years ago, Michael Nyman briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “An Eye For Optical Theory”. This album is a scorcher!
An Eye For Optical Theory is a strong cut, one of many. The Garden Is Becoming A Robe Room is worth the money. Prawn Watching is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Overall a nice softer song. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Wheelbarrow Walk - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. I’ve found myself listening to Knowing The Ropes back to back and back many times. Miserere Paraphrase is one of the best records ever. Memorial is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Get The Essential Michael Nyman Band (Compilation) and turn on Miranda if you are going to sip your wine late at night.
