SOULSAVERS - "It's Not How Far You Fall It's The Way You Land"

This album has as much soul as its long strange title, a soul that doesn't need to be saved because is pure and sincere since first track "Revival" tickles your senses with a semi-gospel chant courtesy of the "everywhere" man Mark Lanegan. He sings on eight of these 11 Massive Attack trapped in a gospel church on a rainy night while the world outside is burning in flames (that's my best description of what this album sounds like...)and everytime he opens his mouth it matters, either is singing about "Kingdom of Rain" (i told you!) or about spectral feelings (The Ghost of You & Me) or about the "Jesus of Nothing", you enter into his world completely, entirely absorbed by the power of his vocal chords and the cinematic music backing him up.
A genuinely moving record with a note of merit to the soulful vocals of Wendy Rose and Lena Palmer, the sound of angels behind Lanegan's dark words.
