JIMMY PAGE & ROBERT PLANT



JIMMY PAGE & ROBERT PLANT
NO QUARTER (1994)
320KBPS

This album is like an exotic trip through the Arabian desert, and reminiscent of the glory days of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, former guitarist and singer for Led Zeppelin, respectively, take the listener on a journey with the use of foreign musicians and instruments including Egyptian bamboo flutes, mandolins, and bodhrans.
Much of the music on "No Quarter" has a Middle-Eastern feel to it. Page and Plant enlist the help of the London Metropolitan Orchestra and an Egyptian ensemble to create the magnificent and dreamy sound of Middle-Eastern music mixed with Western rock. The result is fabulous. I haven't been as amazed with an album since I first listened to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."
What I am most blown away with is how different many of the songs sound. Some, such as "Thank You" and "Gallows Pole," are basically the same as the Zeppelin classics. Many, however, sound as if they went in for plastic surgery. My favorite example is the first song on the album, "Nobody's Fault But Mine." I always thought the original Led Zeppelin version was alright, but when I heard Page and Plant's version, I was pleasantly surprised. It is slower, more beautiful, and, in my opinion, better than the original.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's "No Quarter" captures the mystery, power and life of music itself. I thought it was great to hear this album give bits of music from another time that many people have never had the pleasure of experiencing. "No Quarter" is a breath of fresh air in a world of recycled music.
