Between The Devil and the Deep Blue

A band album with an authentic live feel to it, very few overdubs and 'fresh' sounding vocals. The songs navigate a passage through false hopes, faded dreams, and lost love. Intimate and introspective, the album is crafted in and out of a meloncholic groove. Not totally rock and not all country either, but it could be soulful country-pop-rock! 'Between the devil and the deep blue' has a style and feel somewhere between Chris Isaak, Crowded House, and Cold Chisel!

Track Listing:

1.   Alone Again 6.   Follow Me
2.   Waiting for Paradise 7.   Fireball
3.   Love Come Quickly 8.   The Bright Side of Love
4.   Harmony 9.   Suffocating Beauty
5.   She's in My Mind      

 

Laments and Praises

'Laments and Praises' was recorded live in October 2000 at Southern Cross University's contemporary music building. Accompanied by vocalists Rebecca McArdle, Ruth Cassie-Batchelor, Robyn Martin and guitarists Adam Bradbridge and 'Uncle' Trevor Roberts, the CD is a collection of songs of spiritual longings, trials and sufferings. Most of the songs are Vassella originals including an interpretation of Psalm 23.

The CD was recorded with an 'unplugged' atmosphere that includes audience applause and live room ambience. Tonally, the album has a smooth finish with guitars, harmonies and Vassella's trademark stomp-box. Andrew Bardsley, designed the layout with some excellent photography.
