This nine-song debut EP shows the promise that Various Artists has. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Various Artists energies, virtually a rebirth. Since completing 0’s ‘Halcyon Days’, Various Artists fulfilled their contract with Columbia Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Check it every song is worth the money for the Solitaire - Halcyon Days CD!
After you’ve listened to First Day, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. The song feels complete. I can’t stop playing Snake Brothers. Slow Walk at Stone Wash - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Various Artists. Riding the Atlas is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Calyx Revelation is a song to enjoy for years to come. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Kingfisher Flight, which shows, blatantly, how much Various Artists has evolved as a singer.
