Heard about Rachel Fuller from reading Pete Townsend’s biography. Curiosity led me to buy this CD. Well worth the purchase. Each tune is a pleasure.
Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2005
I bought that CD just because I knew that Pete Townshend was among the musicians. When it arrived I looked at the booklet and thought: "Ah no ! Not again a playmate trying to act like a singer !" The pics in the booklet are so "Ashhhh" !
But I was so... wrong. Rachel Fuller has such a great talent, as a composer and as a musician...and she has such a great voice. Her music is not the most original though (it sounds partly like Sarah Mclachlan, Tori Amos, Clanad and even canadian singer Annette Ducharme) but it's worth having it in one's collection. Her musicians are so well choosen: Pete & Simon Townshend (guitars) and Mark Bzezicki & Jodi Hawkes(drums). Pete Townshend is at his best but not overpresent. Each time I listen to it I like it more...and more. The songs: Into My Heart, Ghost in Your Room, Imperfection, Spin are among the stronger ones. Only on deception, there's only one instrumental piece: Lament.
So go for it ! You won't be deceived....except maybe by the pics !

Wish we had more music with this much depth and scope in popular music today
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017Verified Purchase
I wish Rachel Fuller had not become domestically comfortable and would make more records. I was astounded when I heard this record some 13 years after it was made. She is much more interesting than you would think. She is not just some rock star's girlfriend. There is a lot to her writing, her playing, her arranging. This record blew me away. In a way I can see why she isn't making records in this climate of auto tuned faces that look good and sing cookie cutter songs that are so cliche my niece could have written them when she was 11 (thirteen years ago). The other alternative is women who can sing their butts off who sing songs that are so shallow it makes them look as if they are on the same level as Taylor Swift (who is helpless without pitch correction and won't admit it) or Miley Cyrus (so shallow they would be out of their depth in a parking lot puddle). Rachel Fuller is on the level with clever writers from the past like Kate Bush, Sandy Denny, Linda Thompson, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King who knew how to craft a lyric in their own individual way. Wish we had more like her today.

Mrs Pete Townshend hat Talent ohne Ende
Reviewed in Germany on March 1, 2013Verified Purchase
Oh welch Sakrileg: Die beiden sind nicht einmal verheiratet. Natürlich ist sie eine eigenständige Musikerin – und was für eine! Ich kannte sie nicht vorher, habe erst in Pete Townsends Autobiographie von ihr erfahren und dann einfach mal bestellt... Eine tolle Musikerin, mit Händchen für interessante Melodien und schöne Pop-Songs, so ist das ein tolles Singer-Songwriter-Pop-Album, ohne in Mainstream und Kitsch abzudriften. Die CD ist schon älter. Macht sie heute noch Musik? Bei dem Talent wäre es wünschenswert!

No filler on this fuller CD!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2005Verified Purchase
While it is a very nice CD that loaded without problems onto itunes on my mac, i experienced some problems (i.e. it would not play at all) one one of my home CD players (a philips CD recorder!) and this is the first time i have encountered this kind of problem. Otherwise it is a spledid CD; as another reviewer wrote she had already provided vocals to a spectacular CD by Delerium that I also recommend. It is also an indipensable recorde for those sad Townshend/Who completists to which i slowls belong.
