Van Morrison - Wavelength album cover | |||||||||||||||
Wavelength is an album by Northern Irish singer/songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1978. The album had a different atmosphere to his previous albums, it had a more pop oriented sound due to his heavy use of electric guitars and synthesizers. Bobby Tench and Peter Bardens were given special credit as "Special Assistance in Production."
It quickly became the fastest selling album that Morrison had recorded at that time and went gold within three months. Melody Maker reviewed the album as evidence of Morrison's "drift into the American dream." Morrison denied that the songs were anything but about personal experience, and were not about the country. (Relocating to Europe within a few years, his work during the 1980s would not be so "radio friendly" and so easily accessible to the casual listener). With the success of the album, Morrison assembled a Wavelength band to promote it that was similar in many ways to the abandoned Caledonia Soul Orchestra from It's Too Late to Stop Now fame.
