carpenters-voice-of-the-heart-vinyl-5ml She had such a mature sound and feel to it. Having said that, it's hard to imagine how I'd voive about "Lovelines" if it had been released in instead of VOTH. That leaves me to wonder if he did go back and re-release the album without parts of the OK Choral, what would he title the album? And Volce Tutt's drumming kicks ass. I enjoy it very much, but it still retains a sense of melancholy for me, as it was released so soon carpenters voice of the heart vinyl 5ml Karen's passing. I loved the title and packaging.

But that's only because I was spoiled by the solo version 13 years later, which is superior. The O. Chorale had no place in that bedroom My all-time favorites on the album are 'Two Lives', which is truly 'rock edged' to quote Paul Grein in Billboard that year. Karen's vocal is VERY different on that song from any other in her career.

She really does rock out in places, and then it gets to the bridge, which is one of my favorite Karen moments on a record: 'No, I can't believe it's over That always gets me. And Ron Tutt's drumming kicks ass. It's much more dramatic for the Carpenters than usual, and it has an almost Motown-esque urgency. I also love 'Now' and 'You're Enough', and the vocals are very 'old school' Karen. The same can be said for 'Prime Time Love', which sounds better than anything else she recorded during 'Made In America'.

My take on 'Ordinary Fool' has also changed over the years. The arrangement is just too syrupy and Lawrence Welk-ish, though Karen's voice cuts right through it. Otherworldly vocal. I would give anything to hear a stripped down version with just Karen, Richard's piano, Joe Osborn's bass, and Bob Messenger's sax.

That would be amazing. I also liked 'Lovelines' better due to the outstanding diversity of the material, as well as Karen's incredible vocals. That being said, 'Voice of the Heart' still sounds pretty damned good to me. Last edited: Oct 1, I'm sorry, but whoever gave this album 1 star should be struck off the site!!!

First time hearing new music from these two - since Karen's death Not knowing the industry that well - it hadn't even occurred to me that there were unreleased cuts So - this alone makes it hard for me to critique anything on here!

I'll say the chorale on Now, bridge going into the last segment of the song, particularly , is off-putting I'd like to hear that song without that - especially since this was Karen's last recording Other than that - I'm pleased and delighted with every syllable that we got to hear from the vaults It's weird hearing it - AFTER hearing Karen's solo version - and wondering if she recorded this version with any trepidation or sense of melancholy of what might have been One final note I remember hearing that piano trail off on Look To Your Dreams - and weeping hysterically - feeling that same sense of loss and loneliness of an idol's passing all over again.

It's a sad record, but also a celebration. Two thumbs up. Nicely said, BarryT Fine review, BarryT Well-Known Member. The amazing thing about VOTH is how Richard was able to assemble tracks from five different recording sessions,spanning a six-year period, and make the whole album sound like it was recorded in VOTH is one of those albums where Karen's tone,phrasing and timing are on full display.

VOTH is an essential album just for this track alone. Nice sax solo. Karen's vocals are,again,exquisite here. Would have preferred an improvised sax solo over the chorale parts. I agree Mr. J, it sounds like it was all recorded during the same period to me, the vocals are mixed the same way. As much as i like lovelines, i always feel that that album is put together from unused tracks from different times, it doesn't gel as one for me. Timmerman Well-Known Member.

I first heard this album in the eighties when I borrowed it from the local library in Randburg, South Africa where I grew up. My dad had the Tan album and I loved that. VOTH on the other hand was much too mature for me. I was only seven or eight when I heard the album. That's when I started collecting their music. By then I was living in The Netherlands and only a few of their albums were available on CD at the time.

VOTH wasn't one of them. But I already knew a few of the songs from the album. Knowing that it was Karen's final recording has made it forever bittersweet though. I had the track on the British "Treasures" compilation. That set also featured "Look to your dreams", another track I loved.

Only later when I bought VOTH as Carpenters Voice Of The Heart Vinyl Inc an American import in a specialty store did I hear that song in the album context, which added so much more poignancy to that piano outro!

But hearing the solo version in changed my perception of the VOTH-version. The solo version is so much more intimate. An often-praised part of Karen's vocal talent were her intimate readings, but sadly it wasn't utilised as much as it could have been, especially in later years IMHO. While I know it to be a part of VOTH and I feel it's a definite example of the album title's meaning, the track is so strong on its own that it sits well practically anywhere. It is hard to believe that it was left off "Hush".

The other tracks have grown on me through the years. Personally, I feel the album as a whole has an unfortunate melancholy tinge, because of the way it was released posthumously and so close to Karen's passing. I guess there are more sad or rather wistful songs on VOTH, perhaps in line with Richard's feelings at the time of its conception.

Having said that, it's hard to imagine how I'd feel about "Lovelines" if it had been released in instead of VOTH. The first posthumous release was always going to be "overshadowed" I guess. PJW Member. I have always loved this album. Today as I was driving into the city I was listening to it. I noticed how mature Karen's vocals had become and that she really sang with heart-felt feeling, which is one of the things I believe that makes one a star.

When's the last time you heard someone sing with such emotion? We just don't see much of that todays music scene. Melancholy yes, but outstanding!

Dave Active Member. It was my first CarpenterS album and bought it at a very, very stark time in my life. KC's voice and RC's arrangements somehow made me feel secure, safe and warm.

Kinda hoakie sounding but true. Still get emotional when playing certain tracks, especial LTYD! I still can remember where I was, when I first saw this album cover. I was living in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the time. And I was 15 years old. I was looking thru stacks of records in bins at a local library, looking thru the "C" section, and I saw the logo and the beautiful photo of Karen in the front, and the sad notes of Richard on the back.

Later on, I got it on cassette and cd, and it became MY favorite Carpenters album. She had such a mature sound and feel to it. Her singing was breathtaking. I've said it, and I'll say it again. A Kind of Hush connects so well and merges into Voice of the Heart He was into voice and had been professionally trained, and when he heard Karen's voice His father directed the Sweet Adeline's in Regina, Saskatchewan.

BGW Member. I really like VOTH. It was one of the last albums I bought. I agree that most of the songs are not single material and I can see why they were outtakes, but what wonderful outtakes they are. I like all of the songs to varying degrees except for Two Lives, which I usually skip. Not because it's a bad song, but honestly, I find Bonnie Raitt's version from her album Sweet Forgiveness in 77 or thereabouts to be more powerful.

Mind you, I'm biased because I've been listening to her version for years before I even heard of the Carpenters. I've always kind of thought of "Now" as Karen's swan song, I sure hope that wasn't the song she hated from the "session from hell" in Joe's words. It's beautiful. I love Look to Your Dreams as well, those two songs make nice bookends.

I know most people don't like Prime Time Love but I really dig it. The funky rhythm really sets it apart from most of the other Carpenters songs.
