Hello , Dmitry Epstein of Let It Rock has reviewed Beggars Opera Touching the Edge.
Operating under their old band's name, guitarist Ricky Gardiner and keyboard player Virginia Scott, plus their son Tom on drums, don't feel confined by the BEGGARS OPERA past, and this album takes the listener, as its title suggests, to where today borders on tomorrow. For the most part not as scrupulously textured as their previous effort, "Close To My Heart", here Gardiner's riffs often sound as urban as his late '70s work with Bowie and Pop. Thus, "Dancer In The Wind" sets the tone for a nervy trip, its raw funk bristling under Scott's indie-shaped voice, to crystallize in the majestic coldness of "Escalator Of Tall Stories".It's not all spikes, though - "Frozen On An Eye" and the Eastern-flavored "I Lie There" are snowblindingly lyrical, while "Million Miles" hides a folky drone and light skank in its core. The resolve to such a crypticism comes with "Auschwitz" that seems to not belong here, but shows some strangely satisfying logic: recorded ten years earlier, the epic underlines the tragedy inherent to our times, yet from its progressive guitar flight and Dante's verses a ray of hope shines. The epitome of it is "River Over Me", sax-splashed and rocking, and it's easy to get along with the flow and touch the edge."
