Songs from the Big Chair

[julesd68]

Just acquired a vinyl copy of '"Songs from the Big Chair" and find it quite exceptional. I was listening to very different music back in the 80's but now I have a much more eclectic taste, it's wonderful to discover gems like this. It sounds just amazing on my system - couldn't resist turning it right up! The production makes the songs feel so big and spacious whilst the quality of the instrumentation and songwriting speaks for itself. Magic stuff ... :)

Looks like I will have to get "The Hurting" and "Seeds of Love" next ...

One of my faves for sure.

Elemental pretty good. 7/10 on the Mikeometer

Saturline Martial & Lunatic samples well too

The Hurting has classic moments in it
Not so keen on Seeds of Love

A classic with a stunning Chris Hughes production. I haven't played mine in a long time & time to dig it out

I remember selling the LP in the Record shop i worked in the 80's, sold very well, i remember 7''/10'' & 12'' single of ''Shout'' & ''Everybody Wants To Rule The World'' that sold well too, saying that the previous LP 'The Hurting' was still selling well at the time..

Let's not forget the track "Mad World" ! Who's that guy Gary Jules anyway !

I would have to agree. Although my favourite is still The Hurting. Not as good a production though.

Orzabal is without doubt a talented songwriter having won two Ivor Novello's plus producing one of my favourite albums, Circle of One by Oleta Adams.
