    Chris De Burgh - Now And Then (2008)

    Chris De Burgh - Now And Then (2008)
    EAC | FLAC | Tracks (Cue&Log) ~ 544 Mb | Mp3 (CBR320) ~ 208 Mb | Scans included
    Soft Rock, Adult Contemporary Pop/Rock | Label: Universal | # 5307573 | Time: 01:18:43

    Now and Then is the finest collection of de Burgh's greatest hits and also features a brand new track "Live For the Day" featuring Tina Yamout, a young Lebanese singer. Chris met Tina in Beirut last year when he performed on Star Academy, the most popular pan-Arab talent show, on which Tina was a finalist. Now and Then - features classic tracks from his entire career. They include: the hit song "Don't Pay The Ferryman", his number one single "The Lady in Red", which has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide; "Missing You", "High On Emotion", "When I Think Of You", "The Words "I Love You"", "A Spaceman Came Travelling" and many more of his best-known songs.

    So is Chris de Burgh all about soft rock and schmaltzy ballads like "Missing You" and "The Lady in Red," or is there something more to his music? Admittedly, his two biggest hit singles (and only Top Ten singles) are placed at tracks two and three on this album, Now and Then, a 2008 compilation of his work through the ages, but the true statement of intent regarding what the man is really about arrives with the opening track, "Don't Pay the Ferryman," his first ever hit that didn't even reach the Top 40 but has become a standard art rock classic that possibly graces adult radio in the 21st century more often than his bigger successes. However, no fewer than 11 of the 20 tracks here were on his previously most successful greatest-hits compilation, Spark to a Flame, and Now and Then was – as usually seemed to be the case with de Burgh compilations – very under-represented with tracks from his early career. Indeed, from his first six albums of the 1970s and early '80s before his chart breakthrough, there were only two tracks in total, "A Spaceman Came Travelling" from Spanish Train & Other Stories (included presumably because it had become such a Christmas standard) and the final track, "High on Emotion" from Man on the Line, and nothing at all from Far Beyond These Castle Walls, At the End of a Perfect Day, Crusader, or Eastern Wind. This was a shame, for surely there was a market for people to buy a collection of Chris de Burgh songs beyond the well-worn more famous and overworked ones from the late '80s – although in fairness, this approach had already been covered by A&M on the compilation Best Moves, a long-forgotten gem from 1981, and on the long-deleted Telstar TV album The Very Best Of from 1984. Long since regarded more as a serious album artist, de Burgh had not had an entry in the singles chart in the 21st century up to the release of Now and Then, and had indeed become somewhat of an experimental rock act, as he showed on his previous studio album to this, The Storyman, and this side of de Burgh is given space in the shape of "Much More Than This," "One World," "Sailing Away," and "Borderline," songs that either tell a story or actually mean something. One can't help feeling that with so much material already out there, this was a missed opportunity by UMTV, a mainstream TV advertising company, but their raison d’être was to sell lots of CDs, not educate the masses about an artist whose main body of work remains mostly overlooked.
