About this product

In many people's opinion, The Delgados; magnum opus, The Great Eastern remainsone of Chemikal Underground's most significant releases.The album itself, named after the homeless shelter a mile or so from ChemikalUndergrounds offices, was a triumphant realization of The Delgados' potential assongwriters and as a live act. Live shows often feature ten musicians on stage(and in one instance at the Royal Festival Hall as many as eighteen), this was clearlynot a lo-fi album.The recording process was a protracted one with sessions lasting well over a year.Once again recorded at CAVA with Tony Doogan, it was decided that given someabortive attempts at mixing the thing, Paul, Stewart, and Tony would decamp toUpstate New York and mix the album with Flaming Lips helmer Dave Fridmann.The end result was a resounding success shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, TheDelgados' also received a Spirit Of Scotland Award Music Award, A Nordoff-RobbinsBest Newcomer (!)

Deacon Blue - The Great Western Road   - VINYL LP

2025 marks 40 years since Ricky Ross met Dougie Vipond and they started to form Deacon Blue, the songs on 'The Great Western Road' reflect the journey the band has taken and remain honest to the age and experience they all share. Ricky Ross 'It's just the next part of the adventure and it's as exciting now as it was back in 1988'. The joyous lead single 'Late '88' fondly remembers the care-free excitement of those early days.'The Great Western Road' was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios, Ricky Ross and (Deacon Blue guitarist and long term collaborator) Gregor Philp return to production duties, having last produced the bands' Top 5 charting and their last full length album, 2020's 'City Of Love'. This album was recorded by Matt Butler, who first worked with the band on their debut, 'Raintown'.

Mogwai - Atomic   - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Atomic, the new album by Scottish experimental rock legends Mogwai, is composed of reworked versions of the music recorded for the soundtrack to director Mark Cousins' acclaimed documentary Atomic Living In Dread and Promise, which first aired on BBC Four last summer. Constructed entirely of archive film, Atomic is an impressionistic kaleidoscope of the horrors of our nuclear times - protest marches, Cold War sabre-rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima - but also the sublime beauty of the atomic world, and how x-rays and MRI scans have improved human lives. Mogwai's soundtrack encapsulates the nightmare of the nuclear age, but it's dreamlike qualities too. It is the latest in the band's series of impressive soundtracks and scores, following acclaimed albums Les Revenants (The Returned) and Zidane A 21st Century Portrait.

Generationals - Reader As Detective   - VINYL LP

Limited 180gm colored vinyl LP pressing includes . From their inception, Generationals have existed at the convergence of classic style and contemporary technique. Students of an analog school actualized in a digital medium, Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have always felt most comfortable reveling in this juxtaposition. Grounded in a catalog of infectious pop hooks that feel both familiar and radically new all at once, Generationals mastered their distinct voice as a means to widen the path before them. Reader As Detective, their new full-length album, weds vintage pop canon and modern pop production in a way this duo has proven incomparably adept. From the cornerstone sample of InchI Turned My Back on the Written Word,Inch (a recontextualization of an unreleased b-side) to the playful synths and stuttered drums of InchDream Box,Inch and jogging rhythms of InchBreaking Your Silence,Inch Generationals continue to push the envelope by playing by their own rules.
