Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0600753087626 Format: Extra tracks, Original recording remastered Label: Polydor / Umgd Manufacturer: Polydor / Umgd MPN: 001136602 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Polydor / Umgd Release Date: July 01, 2008 Studio: Polydor / Umgd Editorial Review: Album Description: Newly remastered sound and expanded packaging including lyrics of No Guru, No Method, No Teacher, an album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1986. The song "In the Garden" was a favorite fan concert performance and per Morrison, "I take you through a definite meditation process which is a form of transcendental meditation." This album was hailed by most critics as a return to form. John Wilde in Sounds remarks, "the crescendos here are never dampened by their subtle nature and never fall short of blinding. The whole album aches with a steady stream of sorrow." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of Van's best...No Guru, No Method, No Teacher is probably Van's best effort of the 1980's and easily his best album since 'Into the Music' in 1979. As far as the bonus tracks go, "Lonely at the Top" is a great song and would have fit on the album nicely. The alternative version of "Oh the Warm Feeling" is nice, though hardly essential. This is a personal favorite of mine and one of Van's greatest triumphs. A must have!!! Rating:  - "A creature all in rapture..." "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher" Gets A Superb Remaster & Two Fairly Good Bonus Tracks!"No Guru, No Method, No Teacher" is part of the 2nd wave of Van Morrison remastered reissues to hit the shops in 2008 (see full list below). Released Monday 30 June 2008 in the UK and 1 July 2008 in the USA, it boasts truly superlative remastered sound quality, an upgraded booklet and 2 bonus tracks for the first time - one of which is an entirely new song. Here's the layout (60:26 minutes): Tracks 1 to 10 make up the original album - it was released in July 1986 on Mercury Read More |
