Underworld 'Second Toughest in the Infants'.
One of my very favourite album covers, as well as a damn good album.

Also tried some John Grant on YouTube earlier, interesting, I will try some more later.

What is the title of this album Oliver? And who's the singer / group / band?


Was posted here a few times, new to me as well. Here is the amazon write up:

This cd contains amazingly beautiful songs from a relatively new group. Airbag can easily be described as a progressive rock band; and, if you like Porcupine Tree, Frost, RPWL, and others like them -- you will love this cd. I cannot stop listening to these songs. Currently, Colours is my fave and often set my mp3 player to repeat and listen to it over and over and over. Airbag's melodies, arrangements, and lush layers of keyboards, guitars, and bass are magical. Awesome! If you love prog...you will love this band/cd.


Thanks for the information. I do love prog rock, especially Pink Floyd. Too afraid to get into Porcupine Tree just yet as there is so much to collect. Expecting my Allaes in about a week and I will probably be cutting back on album purchases as a result. Brilliant cover for the Airbag album. It gives you the feeling that someone's watching you, or it could could even symbolize pain, i.e. tear of blood.

That's what happened with me. Liked it to start with but then it's depth and longevity struck. I don't get tired of it but it reveals more musically and lyrically each time. It is to me one of those albums that does not make headlines but will be considered a classic for years to come.

Witness - Before the Calm

The Wigan football team havn't started the season very well, but these guy's made an excellent debut in 1999. Previews & reviews can be sampled here.

Gerard Starkie was interviewed about the album here.

BTW - I like it Cool

Exactly. The lyrics are beautifully intelligent and the music seems to be both contempoary and nostalgically rooted in the past.

If you close your eyes on 'Chicken Bones' it could be Chas & Dave! ( A compliment from me)

And of course I love 'JC hates faggots' which is balanced by the beautiful pro gay 'Caramel' which could have been written/performed by Anthony & The Johnsons.
