Some 42 albums on, Morrison remains as emphatic as ever. This Latest might not be his greatest, but in many ways it clearly comes close

Although I may disagree with some of his ‘issues’ here, I cannot fault what’s on display. The King of Celtic Soul still has it by the bucketload, and long may he continue

He comes across as one sad and unhappy bunny, forced to rage against a world where No Good Deed Goes Unpunished though he has Tried to Do the Right Thing (back-to-back songs about his relationship)

It’s a terrible night for a moondance: On this risible and intermittently lovely 28-song collection, Van indulges in some of his most cherished paranoid theories and deepest-held grudges

As always, his saving grace is his expert control of his voice and good musical taste, qualities that prevent Latest Record Project, Vol. 1 from being as sour as its creator

His repetition sounds less like the trance-like mysticism of a Caledonia poet and more like a furious customer demanding a refund

Under The Radar
There’s certainly enough negativity here to wipe out whatever goodwill Astral Weeks and the second side of Into the Music brought to the world. And with the threat of future volumes, unless you are duty bound to subject yourself to Morrison’s Latest Record Project you’d do well to skip it
