Unique Tales
It's full of folkish soft rock songs and if you like U2's Joshua Tree then you should get it. I'm not sure how to describe this album. Good from beginning to end but The Maker alone is worth it. When I first got it, it's all I played in my car for about 2 months straight. .


Hard to get, worth it.
I had no interest until I connected the song "the Maker" which first appears on Acadie and Dave Matthews who has been singing that wonderful song for some time. My friend Brian told me about this album when it first came out almost 20 years ago. There it is, in the original. And the rest of the album hangs with it. It is solid and good. Worth the wait.


Magnificent
Brian Eno must also be credited for making the music so special. This beautifully textured masterpiece sparkles with atmospheric songs of great profundity including ballads like Still Water, The Maker & Where The Hawkwind Kills and uptempo tracks like O Marie and Jolie Louise.

The exquisite melodies have a folkie feel but the playing and production give the music an ethereal, brooding dimension that puts it in a league of its own. O Marie is sung entirely in French, while Jolie Louise and Under A Stormy Sky have alternating French and English verses.

The album concludes with a subdued rendition of Amazing Grace. There is a certain spiritual quality to the music that is hard to define, but also found in the work of fellow Canadian Jane Siberry, in Peter Gabriel's songs Blood Of Eden & Come Talk To Me and of course in the work of Emmylou Harris.

Lanois produced and played on Emmylou's exceptional album Wrecking Ball; on her live album Spyboy there is an impressive 8 minute + version of his composition The Maker. Acadie is a very uplifting listening experience and slightly better than his other great album For the Beauty of Wynona.

Insert
The insert appears to be a single sheet, black and white photocopy. No complaint with the music. I would have made a better job myself if I had copied the disc. I buy many cd's, never copy or for that matter let anyone copy them, but presentations like this make me wild. .

i would give this album 100 out of 100. this album of daniel lanois is worth far more than 5 stars. this man's voice is very haunting. i love 'the maker' and 'still water' these 2 songs are just out of this world. buy this album and you will know what i mean and whoever else loves this album will understand and know what i mean.
happy listening. i love elvis presley & rock 'n' roll but! this album is really fantastic. thank you daniel.
