Details: Amazon.ca Given that no-one, in the wider world, really cared about James until 10 years into their career, when they released "Sit Down", it's amazing they managed to repay this sudden attention with a creative burst that still magical sounds. Seven was their journey out into Waterboys-esque Big Music, whilst Laid, following a year after, was a semi-retreat back indoors again. Producer Brian Eno--ever the restraining reins when bands get on their big horse of rock--made sure that James' urges to go all Simple Minds are firmly curtailed, whilst the simply gorgeous "Sometimes (Lester Piggot)", the result of an all-night jam-session, could probably be used in religious devotionals. One chord, sixty acoustic guitars, Tim Booth ranting about a boy being struck down by lightening and a choir that appears for the last 30 seconds. If only all bands could touch God this late into their careers, Tin Machine would never have existed. --Caitlan Moran Product description James ~ Ugly
