Ray (Frazier Chorus album)
Introduction '''''Ray''''' is the second album by the English pop group Frazier Chorus, released in 1991 by Virgin Records. A limited edition version of the LP and CD included ''The Baby Album'', a four track bonus remix disc. The four bonus remixes were also appended to the end of the cassette edition. The songs were written by Tim Freeman.
Critical reception The ''St. Petersburg Times'' opined: "What seems at first play to aspire to be little more than a collection of richly produced but understated songs turns out to be a peculiar, ambitious combination of sweet instrumentation and perversely harsh lyrics." ''The Boston Globe'' wrote that "there's mostly, hushed, seductive vocals coasting along lolling, mid-tempo rhythms and consistently ingratiating melodies: wave upon ever-shifting wave"; the paper named it one of the best albums of 1991. ''The State'' determined that "Frazier Chorus may specialize in synth pop lite, but there's a certain atmospheric artiness that seduces the listener with its simplicity."
