This is the final in a trilogy of albums which started with 'Praise and Blame' (we'll see what he does next) this one is a little more 'poppy' than the previous two and perhaps is a bit more about his own music than the music of others - it's the companion album to his autobiography. All three albums are nicely put together, tastefully restrained - even 'stripped back' production and of course there's that voice which, for me, is now better than it has ever been.
I've been on YouTube, listening to some fine dance stuff from the 80's - remixes of SOS Band favourite tracks, plus some other tracks I dare not shout about. really good music but it's thirty odd years old now
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...
I have no idea how this came to be in my CD collection, but I gave it a spin earlier today and got a pleasant surprise. Nice, chilled, well produced and of the 'world music' genre, with a hint of Eastern promise . Worth a listen.
Check out 'Boxer' as well. And the rest. In a similar vein is Interpol's 'Turn Out the Bright Lights'.
There is a side project called Clogs that play an odd acoustic/ambient mix.
