    Beautiful, if you miss EBTG this is the closest thing that either one of them has done to that in years. It reminds me of EBTG's earlier work of coarse without Tracey's voice. I have not been a huge fan of any of their solo projects, something was always missing, but this is truely a beautiful piece of work. Ben's voice is wonderful and I hardly miss Tracey, although there are song songs that you can imagine her singing on. I wish they would get over themselves and put out another EBTG, enough already, not nice a nice way to treat the fans that have supported you all these years, way before the house music !

    Good effort. Don't expect DJ/electronic stuff ... this work hearkens back to his early acoustic work from the late '80s.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 70's singer/songwriter inspired songs with an edge
    Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2014

    Let's start with the gorgeous cover art. It depicts a scene perfect for listening to Hendra -- modern, light but with shadows and reflection. Ben Watt has made a gem of an album here. To fully appreciate what Ben has created the uninitiated should listen to Ben's earliest work and remember his work as a DJ came much later in his evolution. You can also read interviews with Ben and his books to appreciate what an intelligent and sensitive man he is. He is a father, husband and gifted artist which is apparent in the songs here. He met his equal in Tracey Thorn but they both are able to stand alone and confident in their solo work.

    Stellar album from Ben Watt. Fans of Del Amitri, Smithereens, and even Nick Drake will enjoy it immensely. Melodic and at times melancholy, Ben Watt has a wonderful, expressive voice. The vinyl is fairly quiet and has a nice analog warmth. Rolling Stone rated it one of the best albums of 2014 you've never heard. Their detailed review is what prompted me to buy. Check it out.

    It took a few listens, but I grew to appreciate this album. I'd listened to it about three or four times before seeing Ben Watt perform it live, and I liked the CD even more after. It's very mellow, and almost depressing at times, so I do not listen to it if I'm already feeling very low.

    If you are a fan of Ben Watt's DJ production sound I'm not sure this will be up your alley. I've given this disc a few listens through and I have a completely different appreciation for it versus his DJ sound. It's nice to know that Ben does more than just produce music. To hear him play guitar and sing is actually quite refreshing. This CD showcases his song writing ability in more ways than one. The guest musicians also enhance the experience of listening to the disc. If you are looking for Ben's Buzz N'Fly and/or Lazy Dog sounds these are not it. The CD has a very low key feel to it. The songs are a bit mellow but not lacking substance. I envision sitting around a fire drinking a couple beers while listening to this album. It's not bad....but it's not stellar (imho). I feel its only three stars for my current musical interpretive state. This album would probably go very well with Fall and cooler temperatures.

    A wonderful solo album from one half of the band Everything But the Girl. An excellent compliment to Ben's first solo album, North Marine Drive, this diverse collection of song styles and thoughtful lyrics make this exceptional album enjoyable over and over again. This one is a must for your collection.

    L'altra metà dei Everything But The Girl si mette a nudo.
    Messa da parte l'elettronica spinta, Ben Watt pubblica questo album dal sapore classico, senza tempo.
    Non c'è voglia di stupire ma quella di fare buona musica.
    In quasi tutti i brani c'è la presenza di Bernard Butler (chi si ricorda dei Suede?).
    Ospite d'eccezione l'immenso David Gilmour a colorare con la sua slide "The Levels".
    Un album dal sapore vagamente autobiografico, frutto anche della difficile esperienza di vivere sulla sua pelle il dramma di una malattia rara (Churg-Strauss syndrome) che un po' di anni fa ha rischiato di portarcelo via per sempre.
    Ben invece è ancora qui, pallido e gracile. La sua stessa musica lo ha salvato e continuerà a farlo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "As right as rain"
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2014

    Chances are, if you're reading this, you know a fair bit about Ben and EBTG already, so let's talk about "Hendra". Like all good albums, you need to listen to this a few times before judging. There is no doubt, in my view, that Ben has always been a good writer. And he is a very good singer as well. Maybe it's unfortunate that he's largely been the other half of Tracey (who let's face it is the Voice). But Ben has always been her perfect complimentary counterpoint, and a great singer in his own way when he takes the lead. (See previous perfect gems like "The Night I Heard Caruso Sing", "Boxing and Pop Music", "The Road").
    Ben describes "Hendra" as a folk rock album, and it is, in the best sense of that term. If you're old enough, think of those ageless classic "Island" albums of the late 60's / early 70's e.g. Fairport, Fotheringay, John Martyn, Nick Drake, etc., and you'll get the idea. Yet it is contemporary at the same time. Without repeating Ben's family background to the genesis of these songs, they are clearly very personal indeed. In a lesser writer, this could be a bad thing, distancing rather than connecting. But here they travel well and inhabit a wider landscape. (N.B. If you really want the connections, check out Ben's book "Romany and Tom".) The instrumentation and arrangements are spot on for what Ben's creating. Bernard Butler is a plus, but it's still Ben's album.
    I'd suggest you get the "de luxe" version, because the extra acoustic versions are well worth having. (Perhaps there'll be an extended double album released years later with all the demos on it like the recent EBTG re-issues.)
    Mostly, the whole album has a cohesive feel to it. Personally, I would have preferred a slower tempo version of "Nathaniel" to retain the internal integrity, but that's just my taste (and I am old). All of the songs deserve their place here. A few comments about some of them:
    "Spring" has a real John Lennon feel about it; bad news for Tracey who doesn't rate the Beatles (!).
    "Young Man's Game" is a true classic. It will grab you straight away and get in your head - so good they did it twice. The Demo version and also "Golden Ratio" could be missing tracks from "Bless The Weather", but by John Martyn's nicer brother.
    A lot of comments have been made about "Matthew Arnold's Field", perhaps the most specifically personal of all the songs here. It's the song version of an elegiac chapter in "Romany and Tom".
    "The Heart is a Mirror" manages to tread the fine line between an acute set of observations on relationships while still holding together as an engaging song. Listen hard.
    Ok, clearly I'm a fan of Ben and EBTG, but even if you've never heard of them, this album is well worth your time. The Ben Watt renaissance starts here - a book and an album in the same year. And who knows, now Ben and Tracey are both writing and singing again, maybe they'll get together in the same studio?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Phantastisches Singer-Songwriter-Album das nicht weniger als fünf Sterne verdient
    Reviewed in Germany on May 11, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Kann nicht so recht nachvollziehen wie man diesem Album nur einen Stern geben kann nur weil die Vinyl-Ausgabe vielleicht nicht ganz die Anforderungen eines Rezensenten erfüllt. Es sollte hier ausschließlich um die Bewertung der Musik gehen. Und damit wäre ich schon beim Thema: Ich bin mehr zufällig auf dieses Album gestoßen und Ben Watt und seine Band "Everything But The Girl" kannte ich allenthalben vom obligatorischen "Missing" welchem man vor ein paar Jahren kaum auskommen konnte - außer man lebt unter einer Käseglocke.

    31 Jahre nach seinem ersten Solo-Album erscheint nun dieses Album welches mit Hilfe vom Suede-Gitarristen Bernard Butler zustande kam. Auf einem Song findet sich sogar ein kleiner Gastauftritt von David Gilmour (Slide-Gitarre und Backing Vocals). Letzteres war auch der Grund, weshalb ich dem Ganzen mal eine Chance für einen Hördurchgang geben wollte. Um das Ergebnis vorwegzunehmen: Ich bin kein bisschen enttäuscht. Selten habe ich eine so abwechslungsreiche und dennnoch durchgängig harmonische Platte gehört - jeder Song steht für sich selbst. Mal wird man an Dire Straits erinnert ("Forget"), mal an die Beatles ("Spring"), mal an das Bossa-Nova-Feeling von Songs wie "Girls from Ipanema" ("Golden Ratio"). Die Klammer welche diese verschiedenen Stilmixe zusammenhält sind die Stimme von Ben Watt und die Licks von Bernard Butler. "Nathaniel" ist eine überraschend flotte Uptemo-Nummer auf einem ansonsten eher ruhigeren Album. Bluesig (und textmäßig selbstironisch) geht es bei "Young Man's Game" zu. "Hendra" und "The Levels" klingen nach den akustischen Sachen der frühen Floyd, bei letzterem Song auch kein Wunder wenn man bedenkt dass oben genannter David Gilmour daran beteiligt ist.

    Ben Watt hat hier eine absolute Überraschung abgeliefert. Die zurückhaltende Produktion bewahrt fast durchgehend das Singer-Songwriter-Feeling der Platte. Einzig und allein "Spring" ist etwas überproduziert und erinnert mich dann doch zu gezwungen an Balladen von Lennon/McCartney. Somit fällt es etwas aus der Reihe (die Demo-Version klingt interessanter weil authentischer), doch dafür allein kann ich keinen Punkt abziehen.
