Boys & Girls was just another slab of vinyl that I picked up at the used record store in the early 1990s. It took me a couple listens, but I grew to love it, and I did go out looking for his singles from this album. I think that I liked it so much because of the Legend song IYLSE? I had liked that ever since it came out and in the movie. I found, and still find his voice and songs to be somewhat other-worldly or other-timely, or other-dimensionally. Do you understand what I mean? He seems to step outside of the norm and write and perform music that seems almost contrary to public taste, while still being very attractive and melodic. Even the work of Roxy Music made me feel that way, too.
Anyway, here's the album and bonus tracks from that era, and also a disc of mixes. You will find a nice batch of Dreamtime mixes in here, too. Oh, oh my beloved Dreamtime. Simple Minds on Wednesday and BF today. More than a coincidence, I've been listening to a lot of his mixes of late...
With that, a message......
Oh, my beloved Dreamtime. You are most definitely missed and I wish that you would come back and make us some more masterpieces. Your work has always been outstanding, and I know that you're return would be heralded as one of the greatest comebacks ever. PLEASE oh please oh please.....
That being said, enjoy Bryan's album tonight....
