Chapman, Michael
Window
Every artist has a piece of work that niggles them-something that they wish they could redo, given the chance. Its why
Paul McCartney once reproduced Let It Be and why Kate Bush re-recorded Wuthering Heights for her best-of album. For the
prolific Michael Chapman, that album is Window, the missing link in the series of Chapmans early albums being reissued
by Light In The Attic Records. Window sits just after the previously released Fully Qualified Survivor and Rainmaker,
right before Wrecked Again.
The singer-songwriter and prodigious guitarist was in transition from his folkier origins to his heavier future and
heading for a whole mess of trouble with the same years Wrecked Again. Given the touring bust-ups and tortured recording
sessions to come, Michaels wife Andru Chapman remembers the recording of Window was noted for a "lack of hiccups. No one
threw their toys out of the pram, unlike Wrecked Again." Recorded with U.S. guitar player Phil Greenberg, violin player
Johnny Van Derek, and pianist Alex Atterson, the album has a blend of electric and acoustic instruments, both
traditional and experimental at once, synthetic sounds melding with finger-picked guitars.
