Edges of Twilight

My intro to The Tea Party was by way of Transmission, another amazing piece of work. While comparisons may exist, for me, TTP's music defies the convention of being put into a particular category. Long-winded way of saying that they are Unique. Give a listen, give all of their works a listen. It's worth the time. FWiW, this purchase replaces the original that apparently went missing from my collection of their entire catalog. Nice to have had some recent additions from them, too.

Classic hard rock album. Flavours of led zep and the doors, but something all their own.

Love TTP

All good!

Again, great band found by me twenty yesrs too late. Some cuts have a celtic/pagan sound to them, some have a heavier hand. A gr es at cd for your collection, a song for every mood.

awesome

One of my favorite albums

Don't be fooled by the intrigue of song titles or the album cover art. A truly miserable excuse for music.

It’s a long time since I been so blown away upon hearing an album. On reflection, the first Led Zeppelin CD (well, it was an LP in those days) pretty much knocked me off my feet in its genre-creating way. It was like nothing and I had ever heard and now, in 2017, I am sitting here with my headphones on -listening for the first time to The Edges Of Twilight by the Tea Party - and I’m a 16-year-old again, marvelling at the incredible music I am privileged to hear. This is powerful stuff - urgent, driving, breathtaking, intricate, demanding, diffuse, tribal, almost preternatural. But it’s not heavy metal in a way that Led Zep were way more cultured than Black Sabbath. It’s loud, metallic in places, and certainly thundering but it’s also subtly delicate - like a web spun by a deadly spider - and there are many moments of quiet beauty that soften the sheer power and feral energy of the musicianship. Some have said The Tea Party sounds like Led Zep fronted by the Doors’ Jim Morrison but that’s a lazy description. What they are is an incredibly talented group whose occasional deployment of middle eastern instruments adds an other-wordly dimension to their sonic palette. One reviewer called them the “greatest group in the world”. Maybe they are, maybe not. But one thing is certain: this album is one of the greatest I have heard in my lifetime.

Bought as a Used Cd - disc itself and booklet in pristine condition, however jewel case had a number of large cracks in. Put all in a new jewel case and looks like a brand new cd now. Quick delivery also.

If you like good, melodic rock, beautiful and involving yet mystifying lyrics, Asian influence regarding instruments and theme, all blended to form a rich tapestry of an album, then this is for you. Not immediately accessible but worth the effort, like a fine marinade that takes time to infuse its flavours this album will soak into you.Soothing, angry and sad, it feels truly like a journey through times gone past.More of an experience than an album, definitely worth listening to with the lights down low.

Did not know where to start with the Tea PArty. Brought this and Transmissions. Not disappointed at all. this album was so ecelectic. Reminded me of a lot of differnt band sounds. But again they dont sound like them if that makes sense. Strong vocals. Cant wait to see them live!

Excellent album. But very disappointed that it was supposed to arrive by 9pm yesterday and is still not here.Wondering if it's going to turn up eventually....
