Lost Songs 95-98

For anyone who enjoys David Gray OR British acoustic guitar songs from the 90's, you are gonna like this. It's a great chill mix of D.G. tunes unheard by many, so this album comes as a surprise and treat to most people. I enjoy this album because it's very relaxing (great driving music) and the quality is exceptional (no garage recordings here). Lastly, the songs are very basic for the most part, just David and his guitar with the occassional backing instrumentation (piano, strings). Don't expect pop anthems like on some of his albums; this is toned down and definitive early-days D.G., and therefore not to be missed!

Living in Sri Lanka, most of my audio CD's are from Amazon US, UK and JPI have previous 3 albums from David Gray, namely White Ladder, Draw the Line and A New day at midnight,This I would say is my favorite out of the whole lot for the simple reason that these sound very spontaneous with that characteristic 'thoughtfulness' of David's calm but firm voice.Only disappointments are, far too less songs and very difficult to source this album to my home country.I ordered the second CD from Amazon JP for my friend's birthday in June, hopefully should arrive on time.

I just got this album and want to say if you listen to David Gray for his voice, don't miss this album. Very basic, very thoughtful. I listen to Flame Turns Blue on repeat for a while before I move on to the rest of the album. I think it is one of his best songs.

Anything by David Gray is good, very good and Lost Songs is no exception.

If you appreciate David gray's unique voice, this is a must for your collection. I had my entire CD collection stolen (I cried many tears) and this is one of my first "must have" replacements!

If you are a David Gray fan you cannot pass up this cd. Go buy it and listen to it over and over just like I did.

Nice, but too low key.

He almost never plays these songs in concert, so it's great to have on CD.

Just listening to this now as I write the review. Some really great David Gray songs on here from a few years back. Not a bad one among them and really hard to pick out a favourite. But really like Flame Turns Blue. The great thing about David Gray is that he continues to develop - twenty or so years on he continues to create great sounds. A real talent from the early days until today. Can't wait for his next album.

I bought White Ladder back in the day, liked it and looked for something else of Mr Grays. That's when i came across this Cd.It literally tears you apart with emotion. So simplistic and sparse, yet the lyrics are so profound. There are no standout tracks, they just flow into one another reminding you of the highs and lows of what life has or can bring you.Its David Grays finest work and my favourite album bar none.

I came to this after the more mainstream David Gray albums and wasn't disappointed. They're all cracking songs on here and if you're a fan then I'd say you'll love this.

Absolutely brilliant album!

Excellent tracks from the best.
