Reviews
5 stars out of 5 -- "A small stellar cast including Jimmy Page and string arranger David Bedford set about recreating the conflicts inside of Harper's head, with meditations on time, war, and self-knowledge.", "STORMCOCK is still eccentric majesty, four long songs of challenge, mission and desire, sung by Harper in dark-tenor whispers and keening multitracked chorales...", "With String Arranger David Bedford in Tow He Created His Masterpiece.", "Harper's otherworldly swirl of incisive lyricism, quick-silver melody, and gorgeous guitar technique is absolutely his own." -- Grade: A, "Harper Creates a Feeling of Grandeur That Evokes the Art-Rock Suites of His Day...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"A Poetic Four-Part Suite That Merged the Personal and Political...", "The disc consists of four pieces that form an ambitious song cycle that seems to aspire to a universal expression of the human experience.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With obliquely scathing lyrics about authoritarianism and superstition, sung with tender fury and framed by delicate but muscular guitar.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "STORMCOCK is rightly considered a dramatic high point in a sterling recording career....STORMCOCK is progressive in its sensibility and elegantly spare in instrumentation.", 4 Stars-Excellent.
