mature material at the end of a millenium
Still Waters remains as one of my Bee Gees' favorites, not their best work though its much more mature, possesing an adecuate number of ballads and joyful themes. Luis Mejia (son) - Bee Gees, short time before Maurice's tragic death, decided to end the millenium with an album very different and completely underrated. The album's sound and mellodies are very nice but not as catchy as their past works, although it keeps an interesting musical direction and style. Ballads like the famous Alone, I Will, My Lover's Prayer, I Could Not Love You More and the title track are much more recognizable among their classic style, containing wonderful love themes with very mellodic sounds. Strong themes with more mature rythms but with a certain lack of good mellodies, where there is found a new musical style not seen before are found in the tracks I Surrender, With My Eyes Closed, Miracles Happen, Obsessions, Closer Than Close and Smoke And Mirrors; maybe Miracles Happen and Smoke And Mirrors still possess familiar sounds but excellent as well. A song that gets out of the album's structure is certainly Irresistible Force, wich is an incredible track very familiar to their songs at the end of the 70's, and has a fast but catchy rythm, nice lyrics and awesome mellodies. The only aspect that I didn't find very good was the adult contemporany type of songs seen in the whole album, a little dissapointing in this term, but anyway is excellent. In conclussion I liked the album a lot and I think other people will find it nice also, not their greatest effort but good for the ears, if you know what I mean.


Robin's #1 FAN
I have 2 copies; one for my car & one for home. This is a really great CD. After all the years I've listened to their music, I love getting these less popular (in the U. S. ) albums. I'm hearing songs for the first time because they were just nominal hits's in the U. S. If you love the Bee Gees, buy this one too.


AWESOME!!
EVERYTHING THE BROTHERS RECORD IS SIMPLY GOLD!!
I LOVE EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM, MY FAVORITES BEING OBSESSION AND MY LOVERS PRAYER. THIS CD IS TRULY AMAZING WHICH ISN'T SURPRISING. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A BEE GEES FAN. HOWEVER I CANT IMAGINE ANYONE NOT BEING A FAN!!

I'M SADDEN THAT THE BEE GEES ARE NO MORE. THE WORLD HAS SUFFERED A MAJOR LOSS. .


CD
Also, thanks for having a CD that is not in stores to buy. We love the Bee Gee's and have their "one night only" concert on DVD and will probably need another one because I know we'll wear this one out. God Bless.


Title it beautiful
My three favorites "Closer Than Close" has the late Maurice heading the vocals and he is so good. "Still Waters" has no musical flaws in my eyes and ears. The special harmonies that weave through it are soothing and reminiscent of the young Gibbs boys. "Alone is a right-on song with a wistful premise and "Still Waters Run Deep" is another example of the BeeGees magic at haunting musical background and just the right lyric.
