As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 112 on The List, submitted by arratoon.
This is a really lovely album, the first from The Blue Nile. It’s one of those albums that isn’t in your face with how good it is. At first, it comes off as a quiet wallflower. But – if you’re really listening – you soon understand that, actually, it’s not shy at all. Rather, it’s quite confident in its greatness, it just, like, didn’t want to bother you if you were busy with something else.
It’s got great vocals, great jazzy bits, great percussion bits, great electronic bits, and damn great sound, especially for an album recorded over 40 years ago. The Wikipedia article on it introduced a new genre tag to me – sophisti-pop – and I think that about sums it up.
If you’re a fan of the likes of Peter Gabriel and Talk Talk, I think you’ll dig it.

- Discogs: The Blue Nile – A Walk Across The Rooftops
*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “When you walk through the garden”, “You gotta watch your back”, “Well, I beg your pardon”, and “Walk the straight and narrow track”. There was a 3-way tie between the first, third, and last phrases, so each one has gotten a spotlight. For the last phrase, the survey result was translated as picking the first album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being “walk”.

Who, like me, loves #vinyl and loves the #Scottish band #TheBlueNile, will want to know that their albums are getting vinyl reissues, limited to 500 copies each. I already had their first two albums, but was now able to get the amazing #PeaceAtLast, my favourite, and crazy expensive to get from Discogs. Over the moon! Get yours while theyŕe still available, which won't be very long. https://thebluenile.tmstor.es/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3df2oK5_pO-aRN37Ij8ejsIRmbELPAIJzm13JSIx6h5jvIGeG--f_bLDs_aem_AenqZ6XKQujPHAel-Zyu_T9r4sj9V4-SRDVHC7L2uzjDU44f4O0UalNyQ1nlVLMYdldAUSON7Rt3vcO-gg2r6HN9

"Covering #TheBlueNile immediately induces a high lever of scrutiny from me, as their sound, like Kate Bush, Chris Whitley, and a handful of others, defies alternative approaches to my ears...
But this comes dangerously close to the right mark. I still wouldn’t take it over Paul Buchanan, PJ Moore and Rob Bell, but goddamn does it veer staggering nearline."

If you're like me , and on an external quest to find #music like that of the legendary #Scottish band #TheBlueNile, then I must direct you to "5AM Paradise", the third album by #OldSeaBrigade. Not that the singer sounds like #PaulBuchanan - hell, who does? - but the songs are ones with the bleeding heart yearning melodies we know of The Blue Nile, and have that same simplicity, and this delicate balance between acoustic instrument and electronics.

Not decrying the Manics' entry in my chart, but I did make a point of listening to every one of their albums in release order for a podcast
