The Ghost Who Walks: Mortal Coil ( BiPolar )

Released in the UK in 2004. Mortal Coil is an album that has been a lifetime in the making. Poetic and melodic, encompassing gospel, hard rock, country, pop, hip hop and rock’n’roll, it is the work of a genuine music lover with a lot to say about the world we live in today.

“It’s extraordinary. Not a dull tune on it. ‘I Found God’ is a classic. This is as good as it gets.” – Bono

“A work of Godlike genius” – Captain America, Virgin Radio

‘An accomplished and at times hugely compelling record… Dealing with themes of love, death and spirituality, there is real depth to this Mortal Coil… a record that would grace any collection’ – The Hot Press

‘Soulful, soul-baring pop-rock … songs that lodge in the memory’ – The Daily Telegraph

‘Indebted to the canon of greats – Dylan and Van Morrison especially. An accomplished and witty writer’ – Uncut

‘‘I Found God’ is anthemic enough to be a major hit’ – The Hit Sheet

“‘Harm’s Way’ sounds like a plea from every mother and father to their child” – Mel Gibson

‘this rather fine record marries a mostly mainstream rock sound - with echoes of REM, Prefab Sprout, The Charlatans and others - to persuasively melodic songs and intelligent lyrics.’ – The Belfast Telegraph

“An album full of contrasts … from start to finish there is not a dull moment” – Room Thirteen

“I even did yoga to it!” – Sting
