Reprise’s restoration of the Bee Gees’ legendary late ’60s pop masterpiece is an important milestone in the ongoing restoration of the group’s celebrated catalog. Originally released as a double album in 1969, ODESSA marked an early creative peak for the Brothers Gibb, and drew comparisons to the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in its depth and vision.
“ODESSA’s all-embracing theme is the Bee Gees’ boundless creativity. Simple acoustic songs mix with orchestral overtures; humble tales of love and friendship sit alongside complex stories of fantasy and the forgotten. The end result is a collection that grows richer with every play.” - from new liner notes by Andrew Sandoval
This album was originally supposed to be a 'concept' work for the Brothers Gibb. Though it may not have finished to be what the Gibbs had originally intended, it stands to be one of their finest works ever.
In retrospect, I believe this work is highly important. First, it proves that 'pre-disco' as well as 'post-disco'life existed (exists) for the Bee Gees.
The melodies (Odessa, You'll Never See My Face Again, Sound of Love, Whisper Whisper, Lamplight etc.) display a unique blend of R&B, classical rock and 'Beatlesque' sound that only the Gibbs could produce. The melodies and harmonies (as well as the orchestrial blendings) are absolutely stunning.
Much of this album reminds me of The Moody Blues and Electric Light Orchestra from nearly. Who got there first? Who cares? The music is hauntingly beautiful. Definately worthy of a serious listening and sincere admiration. Keep in mind, the brothers were 19 (Robin and Maurice) and 21 (Barry) when they wrote the music for this album.
Even though I have been a fan of The Bee Gees since 1967, I never really cared for the Disco era. I was somewhat saddened to see them move from their Beatlesque sound to Disco. I am thrilled to see that their 80s and 90s music reflects more and more of their original stylings.
In my opinion no one comes close to The Bee Gees when it comes to sheer talent in versatile writing. After all, it was The Bee Gees that wrote the biggest selling Country and Western single ever (Islands In The Stream, written for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon).
These men deserve much more credit than what they have ever received for their contribution to pop music. They are righ up there with Lennon and McCartney, Gershwin, Rogers and Hammerstein (of their respective eras).
