"HAMILTON" AGAIN ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS. JUNE 19TH 2016.

HAMILTON.... ATLANTIC RECORDS. (2CDS)

Tracks played...
Alexander Hamilton / My shot / The Schuyler sisters / You'll be back / Stay alive / What I's miss / The room where it happens / Washington on your side / We know / Blow us all away / It's quiet uptown.

An amazingly individual representation of political life two centuries ago in America. Set to very
up-to-date music with hip-hop and speak in -key performances it is an astounding CD which has improved on constant hearing. From the few clips I have seen the dancing hip-hop style and
chorus work are imaginative and spectacular. A modern musical on a dated period. After saying all this, I have to admit the whole album is a bit much to take, lacking in strong melodies and ballads.
nevertheless it's impressive.****.
