Enchanting devotionals (2008-01-29)

Sense Of Wonder is not generally considered one of Morrison's essential albums, although it sounds ever better with the passing of time. Tore Down a la Rimbaud and Ancient Of Days are beautiful mid tempo ballads, the latter with intricate instrumental patterns, whilst Evening Meditation is a slow devotional number with wordless humming, a beautiful mood piece. The Master's Eyes is another slow hymn with enchanting jangling guitar infusions and the title track is a spacey ballad embellished by impressive female voices and some spoken vocals by Van towards the end. The pace picks up for Boffyflow & Spike, an energetic Celtic jig instrumental. With its lovely organ and sax twirls and jerky, jazzy rhythm, If You Only Knew comes closest to Van's unique style of R&B. Let The Slave is a meandering philosophical piece incorporating The Price Of Experience, a piece of spoken poetry, whilst A New Kind Of Man is a melodic outing. Although Sense Of Wonder is by no means one of Morrison's most prominent works, I find much to enjoy here. This re-release has been enhanced by the addition of Crazy Jane and another version of the title track.
