CD Reviews

Not only for completists
Chris Dunn | Edinburgh, Scotland | 01/26/2000
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Sun Mountain contains a selection of demo versions of classic Dan tracks such as Barrytown and Caves of Altamira as well as little known songs which didn't make it onto the official studio albums. Some of the sound is rough but in certain tracks this actually adds to the appeal. To hear Becker and Fagan talking in the background and passing comments is quite enlightening. The most effective tracks are played solo by Fagan on piano. Barrytown is a prime example. His melancholy vocal style draws out the emotion of the song and the simple backing helps you concentrate on the words. Altogether a flawed album but one in which small nuggets of gold can be found. Borrow it before buying."
