Ed Harcourt - Two CDs - The Beautiful Lie (2006) + Lustre (2010) Review (The Beautiful Lie) -  Mr Harcourt has made some darn fine music over the last decade or so, but this has to be his masterpiece. 14 songs, no duffers, unflagging inspiration from start to finish, too many highlights to mention, and only 'Strangers' before it could even come close to boasting this much great melody all crammed into one set. It just feels like a classic. Review (Lustre) -  ,  Ed Harcourt's fifth album Lustre is released via his own Piano Wolf imprint, and encapsulates a lot of what Harcourt is about.   Opening the record decisively,  the title-track  ranks up there with his best – a slow-burning, free-associative number, in which he contemplates universality, or more specifically, the universality of beauty. Its ranging lyrical sweep sees him fire out some lovely observations, possibly even addressing his younger self in parts. When Harcourt is on song, the results are that intuitive and instantly familiar it's as if you've been humming them for years, and so it is here.   Lustre's front end is of a similarly high quality, tunes like Haywired and Do as I Say Not as I Do augmenting his ivories with handclaps, harmonies and electronic flourishes. Heart of a Wolf is a playful lupine romp that sees him possibly indulge his Waits-ian predilection a little too wholeheartedly, but the whole thing is such fun –particularly the ridiculous (and I mean that in a good way) central riff – that it is impossible to bear him any ill will. Church of No Religion is good, too: a spooky run through end-of-the-world fantasies and religious imagery buoyed by a pulsing, insistent drum line.
