This album comes at a time of big changes for Fairport, with their own new
label, and a face into the future, as the title implies. That's all brought a
new attitude to the music, with a slightly rawer, more rocking feel, as on "Wait
for the Tide to Come In," where Simon Nicol's electric guitar work simply
sparkles. The oldest member of a long-running band, Nicol even takes lead vocals
on a reworking on their 1969 hit "Si Tu Dois Partir," which even manages to
incorporate the percussion break from original drummer Martin Lamble, thanks to
the magic of technology, and thus connects the present to the past in more ways
than one. Elsewhere the songs are of a consistently high standard, with Chris
Leslie's "I'm Already There" a standout. In a couple of places the music veers
toward that comfortable middle of the road space Fairport's carved out over the
last few years, but they seem to jerk themselves away before becoming too
complacent about the music. And when they do veer into instrumental work, "Canny
Capers" is the equal of anything they've managed in the past, the twists and
gyrations of its lines both daunting and entertaining. There's only one
traditional song on this disc, "Winter Wassail," with its small surprises that
proves great satisfaction. So what does this say about Fairport for the future?
Other than they'll still be there, and that they're in the process of taking a
long hard look at themselves, not a great deal. But if this new attitude and
grit persists, there'll be plenty of excellent music ahead.
