Review title: Bad choice of material knocks the album out
Product review: Some guy penned the song "It's hard to be a saint in the city". It's kinda hard. too, to find words for how silly this project appears. When these pseudo-monks pick folk hits like "Scarborough Fair", "Don't Give Up" or even "Tears in Heaven" they lose the rhythmic drive of the original, and as they include songs of erotic longing like "When A Man Loves A Woman" and "Save A Prayer" (Duran Duran, :-) ) the mix becomes more and more absurd. What kind of monks would possibly sing this selection in real life? (on later volumes you'll find "Rivers of Babylon" as well!)As harmony singing goes, it's acceptable, though the echo is far beyond what you hear in real gregorian singing. But the clash between the style and the material is just weird. Good for a laugh only.
