Mark Brown has done a very seasonal Balearic mix, and there will be three new b-sides to boot: River is the 7, Destroy The Building and Night Vision are on CD1.It comes in three delicious flavas: a single 18 track cd; a double with every other a-side, some of our best album tracks, and - yes - Lover Plays The Bass; and a 3 disc set in a beautiful book cover with a dvd of all our promo vids.Lovely. Click to expand.Its just, I have their previous DVD so 18 for a few extra songs and 4 extra videos doesnt seem worth it somehow.
When I saw them do it live I was basically a puddle on the floor. I would have preferred a new album, really, but hey- Im not complaining. I know theyre not either proper tettienne songs but as their biggest comercial successes in recent years youd think theyd be included. Battling it out for second position are Foxbase Alpha, their first one, and Tales from Turnpike House, their last one. Edit: I feel bad for not mentioning Tiger Bay, but then I am a fanboy. Choose whatever your preference is, although they are all amazing. As for favourite albums, Id say So Tough and now Ive just realised I only have it on vinyl and have no speakers for my record player. They are a great singles band so I would buy a singles collection and whatever singles are your favourites, head for the parent album. The Kiss And Make Up remix Ive been listening to this week is really good. My absolute favourites must be: -Fox Base Alpha -Finisterre -Tales from Turnpike House. I would suggest that you take them chronologically -starting with Fox Base A, then Finisterre, then Turnpike. For a weird reason, Saint Etienne compilations do not have the same impact for me that the albums have. Their albums (or at least the very great ones) establish a curious thematic -a wholeness of sound, and a particular angle in their (lyrical, vocal and musical) sensitivity. In a collection all this is there, but not with the continuity and completion of an album. By continuing to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies.
