For reasons too complex to go into, a CD-R of this song would make the perfect birthday prezzie for a mate of mine.... Have tried to find a download to no avail. Derek, Any chance of getting this ripped to mp3? (Tim, Cap in hand..humblingly apologising for *that* argument which I can only half remember...ahem...)

Blue Nile are a period piece. Very well produced, highly polished 80s adult-pop sure enough, but with an underlying aching sadness and some odd, melodically interesting things going on beneath the surface sheen.<< Me too. There's an icy Europeanness to them which I suspect is why they strike a chord with the Wire massive. The music is metronomic and hi-tech, which sets up the soul-boy vocals a treat. It's what the Associates might have become by a fourth or fifth album if Rankine had stuck around and Billy had kept the theatrics in check. >>That particular sound is very unfashionable at the moment...but file alongside XTC's Skylarking, any 80s Prefab Sprout and Kate Bush's Hounds of Love as wonderful records which have a sound considered 'dated' by music journalists who get excited over Alt-Country, White Shites and their dusty old valve-driven purist drivel.<< Hounds of Love/Walk across the rooftops are very much of a kind - compare Running up that hill with Tinseltown in the rain. Same state-of-the-art (circa 1984) keyboard sounds. Skylarking was produced by Todd Rundgren, a man for whom 80s keyboard sounds will forever be the sound of tomorrow.

And only 30 mins to learn and play it ! BB was very lenient in letting her pass the task - the tune was way off. Despite expert musical coaching from Shell. Didn't J do well reciting the Edward Lear, though ? ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #222 *******************************
