The above review is an excellent comment on the sisters' French Record, not Heartbeat's Accelerating. Anyone interested in this album would no doubt be impressed with the title track and 'I eat dinner'.For classic McGarrigle fare however, the listener should,in my view,be guided in the direction of 'Dancer with Bruised Knees',the aforementioned French Record or the very first album simply titled Kate and Anna McGarrigle
Such sweet sorrow December 27, 2002

This masterpiece of an album kicks off with a celebration of romantic love in the form of the catchy, uptempo title track, but the very next song I Eat Dinner is a poignant description of loneliness and resignation in the absence of romance. The lilting Rainbow Ride is another gem, a melodic song of hope and longing. Throughout the album the voices are pure and gripping, and the harmonising divine, as on the tender Love Is and the wistful I’m Losing You that deals with the feelings of parents seeing a child growing up, in the most poetic lyrics and imagery. Another favourite of mine is Leave Me Be, a very sad song also about the loss of a child. There’s an overall feel of sadness to these songs, with the exception of the title track, but it’s the most beautiful sorrow you’ll ever hear.

This is one of my favourite albums: plenty of melody, harmony and interesting lyrics, delivered in a variety of musical styles - not really much traditional 'folk', thank goodness. I particularly love the synth drum on St James' Hospital. I know the McGarrigles sound a bit miserable sometimes, but I would say this album hits the right level of 'atmospheric' and 'reflective'. Did you know that one of the sisters (Kate, I think) is married to Loudon Wainwright III, and has produced a wonderful singer-songwriting son, Rufus Wainwright (try 'Poses' - another brilliant album!)
A classic November 18, 1999

words fail to do this album justice. An experience not to be missed. Buy it and be moved and touched by the sensitive and beautiful songs on this disc. There is not a weak track. These ladies can make a grown man cry. A must for your collection
