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.
