Tim Buckley: Starsailor
Similar to Lorca, Starsailor was a brave statement and few artists have released as abstract and powerful an album since. Vocally and instrumentally haunting, the album was unlike much else at the time; Tim chose words for their phonetic sounds instead of meaning, and admitted to using other languages if an English word didn't suffice. At times his voice sounds disturbed and depressed, certainly not a statement of happiness. An immense change of style compared to his first three albums, this personal and unique album shared the same response as Lorca. Impervious to Tim's avant-garde style, few of his fan base were aroused, with the majority disliking it.
After the failure of Starsailor, Tim was furious; his anger and frustration with his perennial work failing left him dejected and depressed. Live performances degraded to insincere chores and he eventually ended up unsellable. Unable to produce his own music, and almost completely broke, he turned to alcohol and drug binges.
