 Tremendous Album From George September 2, 2009
vincent reid
This album is totally different to any other solo work produced by either George or any of the other 3 ex - Beatles. The music is varied and delightful, coming in the middle of George's magnificent solo career. It is well known that George never received the deserved acclaim accorded to both John & Paul during their subsequent solo careers. Whilst not wishing to detract from the efforts of either, this album provides material that is exceptional and totally different to the efforts of either John or Paul.
The classic tracks on this album are: Thats The Way It Goes, I Really Love You, Gone Troppo, Unknown Delight & Baby Don't Run Away From Me. For anyone who is not aware of George's solo material this is a good starting point; other classics are George Harrison, Brainwashed, Living In The Material World & obviously All Things Must Pass. However. this is a must own album if you want to explore the solo music of George.
For many, many hours of pleasure and delightful music - George God Bless you and Rest in Peace.

This is a watershed album for George Harrison and generally over-looked. A real waste. Cut at a time when a lot of his contemporaries were embarrassing themselves with attempts to sound in touch this is a quiet, intimate and soulful collection. Lazy in places but melodic, warm and honest and packing fully half an album's worth of gems. The radio friendly production that made Cloud Nine and Brainwashed better sellers is missing but this album does have the effortless and thoughtful charm that drips from Harrison's well regarded later work. If we're going to have no new albums at least this one remains out there to be discovered by those who've overlooked it so far.
 Excellent in places, garbage in others March 6, 2007

A nosedive after the excellent 'Somewhere in England'. Nevertheless, 'Gone Troppo' has its moments. The title track is irresitable, the single ('Wake Up My Love') moves along nicely and 'Dream Away' is as smooth as you'd wish, but unfortunately goes on too long. The best track on the album could be George's best ever song, 'Mystical One' a gorgeous glowing tribute to his best mate Eric Clapton.
Aside from this, there are just too many undistinguished and frankly boring tracks, which just go nowhere: "Baby Don't Run Away' 'Circles' 'Greece' and 'That's the Way It Goes'.
'I Really Love You' is a nice doo-wop intrusion and full of fun, but overall this album is full of the sublime, with too much of the ridiculous.

It should be remembered that Harrison was messing about with synthesisers long before the New Wave made them fashionable and whatever the Human League did he could do it as good.
Interesting cover of a song made around 1962 by the Stereos-I'd like to have heard an entire album of covers like this from the doowop era.
Otherwise this was a new Harrison album,mauled by the critics who thought the Clash were the be all and end all and its low chart placing was just fuel to the flame.I hate rock critics anyway
I love this album May 27, 2005

I really don't agree or understand when people say that this album is rubbish because in my opipion it's better than all things must pass but not as good as "living in the material world" or "Cloud Nine" it had everything to be a classic and sell millions but with lack of promotion and the music world not giving it a chance and saying that Harrison is passed it. but i wasn't round when this album was realased i got it with the brillant dark horse box set. and it's a great album of classic melodic rock that is vasely under-rated by fans and music world alike...and the demo of Mystic one it's fabulous it brings a tear to my eye.
