Get it here and now! Of course, you should only have a copy of this after you've bought the original and official release

This is meant for a prelisten, as you will understand.

Be quick, working time is limited.

'A Certain Softness' has just come on and I'm absolutely loving it!!!!!

Bobber, you are a man of many links.
Again - cheers padre.

I actually heard about 90% of the album now plus the non-album tracks from the cd single but thanks for the link anyway.

I'm here to say that this is Paul's version of XTC's "Apple Venus Vol. 1" -- low-key melancholy. It's sad, and filled with the kind of wistful gorgeousness Macca has only *very occasionally* stumbled across in his later career ('Little Willow' maybe, and a few others). Its almost all slow and pretty, too, with only a very few mid-tempo numbers and none of the embarassing rockers he sometimes puts forward.

Hat's off to Nigel Godrich for the warm production and bringing out the best out of Paul. Actually didn't he produce Sea Change by Beck? A couple of tracks on this has the same kind of feel as that album.

Favorites:

Promise To You Girl
Jenny Wren
Too Much Rain
Comfort In Love
English Tea
Fine Line
Growing Up, Falling Down
Friends To Go

Can't get English Tea and Jenny Wren out of my head!
Went clubbing last night, and that's all I was singing!

When the bass drum (I think) starts during Jenny Wren...great stuff

I like 'This Never Happened Before'...the beginning is a bit like 'Real Love'.
And 'English Tea' sticks in your head.

Timpani, I think. But I hear ya, I hear ya. That moment is just magical.

I thought Paul was the one playing the horn throughout the song, but no. It would have been fantastic.

My favorites so far are Jenny Wren (he obviously tried to write a new Blackbird here) and English Tea (despite the silly lyrics).

Yes, maybe the most magical moment of the whole album. I guess I rather like Riding To Vanity Fair (correct?) and Jenny Wren as well, though it reminds me more of a song like Little Willow than of Blackbird.

"English Tea" even has the word "Twee" in the lyrics!

Yep me too. This track reminds me of the Sea Change album by Beck. It has that same kind of vibe, only much less Nick Drake-y and much less, well, just all-in-all-heavy-and-depressing. Low-key prettiness. And the eclectic production.

Beautiful stuff. Has Nigel Godrich been behind a BAD album?

On the DVD, Paul says that Nigel didn't allow him to record any songs that he didn't like... Wow... Gotta have some serious guts for that.

There's a bonus track on the Japanese version of "Chaos and Creation", "She's So Beautiful".
You can download it here:

Yes. Paul needs to work with Nigel Godrich again -- the guy knows how to say NO.

I hope it becomes a huge hit on the charts but I don't expect it to be sadly these days while Jenny Wren reminds me of Blackbird & Teddy Boy.

Joost · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2005, 07:27:55 PM »

I think it might be a hit... At the store where I bought it it was on display on the counter right next to the new Stones album, so apparently people are taking it seriously.
