CD reissue. 1980 , the sophomore album from the acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician.

(This) is an overlooked masterpiece of the Russian music literature... and I hope our disc will bring the recognition which it well deserves.Inch (Mikhail Pletnev) InchPsalm 50 made a deep impression on Alexey Khomyakov, whose 1856 poem develops the idea that outward forms of religion are as nothing beside truth and brotherly love... (his) poem inspired Taneyev... a summation of Taneyev's life and work... (bears) comparison with Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, especially use of fugues... a compelling piece which Pletnev does well to clarify so successfully... includes a fine solo warmly sung by Marianna Tarassova.Inch (Gramophone)

Marine Dreams is a record of modern pop songs written by former Attack in Black bassist, songwriter, and lyricist Ian Kehoe. Recorded in two separate sessions in the home studio of former bandmates Daniel and Ian Romano, these songs are grandiose and intricate in the midst of a seeming simplicity, occupying a strange and unlikely emotional space balanced between the astral plane and life's sudden dark truths. These are bubble gum pop songs if Werner Herzog wrote bubble gum pop songs. Marine Dreams is a debut album of precise athletic force, and serves it's testament to the craft of songwriting by unexpectedly subverting the expectations we have in rock/guitar/indie/punk/psychedelic pop songs. 'New Decade' is the last song at some perfect high school dance.
