Before moving to Malaysia, Peter
made three solo albums
|
Wild Place In The Sun
(1981)
|
The Searcher
(1984)
|
These albums were made in small analogue
studios between 1977 and 1984 and represent the artist's most
accomplished work during this period. In addition to the unique quality
of the songs, with respect to both lyrics and music, there are on two
of the albums very fine contributions from some remarkable session
musicians. throughout these years Brown experimented with different
styles and flirted with commercial pop-rock; the result is a great deal
of variety from mushy romantic folk to facetious rock'n'roll, from
acoustic finger-picking with dark lyrics about spiritual confusion to
tongue-in-cheek bubble-gum pop, from bottle-neck blues to satire on the
humanistic psychology movement. Of course these albums are not
state-of-the-art Babyface recordings but they are the best that
de-hissing and generally rehabilitating twenty year old magnetic tape
can realize, and if there are one or two seconds of tape flutter and
drop-out or over-recorded vocals it is worth it for some magical
improvisations and rare performances. Although embarrassed by one or
two, Brown is basically proud of these songs, the arrangements and
recordings. |
