Details: Product descriptionWoo-hoo! Diverse 1997 LP includes « Song 2 » ; « Beetlebum » and « On Your Own ».Amazon.caHaving found himself at a creative cul-de-sac with 1995’sThe Great Escape, Damon Albarn bought a flat in Iceland and set about re-evaluating his role in Blur. What emerged was a more soulful, democratised sound. Gone were the Kinks-influenced vignettes about life in suburban England, to be replaced by a more cathartic approach. Grunge influences, for so long off-limits, were now detectable in the loose, angularity of tracks like « Country Sad Ballad Man » and « Song 2 ». Sensing that this might just be his moment, Blur’s resident hard-core fan Graham Coxon is the driving momentum behind much of the band’s fifth album. And yet, accidentally or not, some sense of Englishness lingers–be it the Specials’ « Ghost Town » on « Theme From Retro » early David Bowie on the desolate « Strange News From Another Star » or the Beatles on « Beetlebum ». Ambitious it might have been, but the sheer quality of these songs madeBlur their biggest seller to date. This truly was the great escape. –Peter Paphides
