The Spell (Kirka album)

The Spell is a 1987 hard rock album by Kirka. Following in the style of the R.O.C.K. album, the songs were all in English with a distinct hard rock sound, however, losing some of the aggressiveness of the first album. The album also didn't feature covers by other rock acts.

Despite selling well (receiving Gold certification in Finland) Kirka later resumed with his easy listening material, mainly because performing for younger audiences wasn't providing enough revenue for him to make a living for himself. It would also be Kirka's final all English album until 1995's Sadness in your Eyes, which was musically more close to Kirka's romantic and easy listening material.

Tracklist

All songs were written and composed by Kisu Jernström and Kassu Halonen, except for One Day and Dont Steal My Heart which were composed by Kassu Halonen and lyrics written by Edu Kettunen and Esa Kaartamo respectively.

The Spell (novel)

The Spell is a 1998 novel by British author Alan Hollinghurst.

Plot introduction

A civil servant falls for a younger man and thereby discovers Ecstasy.

Plot summary

Robin is doing research in the United States. He goes into a bar where he meets Sylvan, and calls Jane; she tells him she is pregnant with his baby.

The novel flashes forward to 1995 where the main protagonist, Alex, is visiting an ex-boyfriend Justin and his partner. He drives to their house in the country. Robin's son, Danny, is also there. After a flashback to Simon's (Robin's lover prior to Justin) AIDS related death, the plot goes back to Justin and Robin's cottage where the men are drinking and play with their young attractive neighbour Terry. Whilst driving Alex to see the local picturesque cliffs, Robin scares everyone by accelerating quickly and only stopping right before the cliff's edge. Later, Danny and Alex meet-up in Soho where they walk into Aubrey and Hector. It is clear that Danny knows many attractive gay men and slept with most of them. The two men go on to have dinner in a nice restaurant, followed by dancing at a club, where Alex is given his first pill of ecstasy by Danny. His desire quickly blurs as he is unsure if it is the drug or his attraction to Danny that allows him to kiss the younger man.
