"All told, it's quite adventurous and one of his strongest albums." - The Age |
Close Ups | 2004 |
Stephen puts a fresh acoustic spin on some old songs.
"Sometimes a close up reveals the wrinkles, the lines and the aging but in this case the picture is flawless. " - dig Internet Radio |
Live At The Big Room | 2003 |
Available direct from Stephen via www.stephencummings.com.au.
An acoustic set with Shane O'Mara, recorded at Byron Bay, Easter 2002. Previously released as the "Live 2002" bonus disc shipped with pre-orders of "Firecracker". Re-issued as "Live at Red Devil Fields" in 2009. |
Firecracker | 2003 |
The new rockabilly-influenced album.
"A complete genre busting masterpiece in my opinion." - David Graney |
Skeleton Key | 2001 |
Ten instantly memorable pop songs.
"Truly a performer at the height of his considerable powers" - The Age |
Spiritual Bum | 1999 |
An album for those who love the combination of Stephen's voice and an acoustic
guitar.
"These are a dozen songs that will haunt you long after the passing parade of pop has moved on" - Juice magazine |
Puppet Pauper Pirate Poet Pawn and King | 1997 |
A compilation disc of songs from Lovetown through to Escapist, with the added
bonus of three new songs.
"If the world were a fair place and artists were rewarded in accordance with their abilities, Stephen Cummings would be a rich and famous man." - Sydney Morning Herald CitySearch |
Escapist | 1996 |
Cummings albums are like some sort of artistic showbag: some fully-realised
gems scattered amongst all sorts of interesting musical or lyrical ideas. This
one has all the atmospherics of its predecessor, but it doesn't have the same
overall sparkle despite a few great songs.
"If George Michael wants to make a captivating adult record, all he need do is listen to Stephen Cummings" - TV Week |
Falling Swinger | 1994 |
Steve Kilbey (of
The Church) handles
production duties and the mature and assured result is amongst the finest in
the Cummings catalogue.
"...this is the best album Stephen Cummings has ever made. It's also the best local album of 1994" - Sydney Morning Herald |
Rollercoaster | 1993 | A compilation of track from his days with "Sports" right through his solo career, this also featured some new songs. |
Unguided Tour | 1992 |
Recorded "live in the studio" within a week, Cummings restrains some of the
ambitions exhibited on "Good Humour". It works beautifully.
"Unguided Tour is a very special album" - Rolling Stone |
Good Humour | 1991 |
An eclectic mix of dance based tracks and acoustic magic. "Hell" was a minor hit
and "Blue Hour" was bliss, but the album soon vanished.
"Cummings has the very rare ability to sing quietly, with passion, and here he has the space to do so" - Rolling Stone |
A New Kind Of Blue | 1989 |
A gem of acoustic based pop (it's my favourite). Although honoured with an ARIA
award, the album again failed to turn him into a household name.
"a record for our times" - Rolling Stone |
Lovetown | 1988 |
Walking the border between acoustic and gloss-production pop, everything about
this album is perfectly judged. Critically acclaimed upon it's release, it
remains one of the finest Australian pop albums. In Australian Rolling Stone's
list of the top 100 albums of the 80s, Lovetown was listed at #38.
"This is pop, it's rare and it should be treasured" - RAM |
This Wonderful Life | 1986 |
Restraint is exercised, Cummings finds his voice and things are starting to
look promising...
"modern, sophisticated, intelligent and passionate" - Rolling Stone |
Senso | 1984 |
With the hit single "Gymnasium", his solo career opened with a bang. Now,
that song very much sounds a product of its time, but there were flashes of
hope on the album.
"one of those rare records which reveals new depths and new delights with each spin" - Rolling Stone |
