Needle Time

  The Lightning Seeds - Cloudcuckooland [GHETT 3 UK 1989 24-Bit FLAC] I've been meaning to re-rip this album for a while, my first was a bit clicky, however I think this new 176.4kHz rip sounds fabulous. To me, the compact disc version sounds very sterile, the vinyl version should be a revelation to all fans of the purest in indie-pop. If there was ever a flawless pop record from the late eighties then perhaps it was Cloudcuckooland . This was Ian Broudie as a solo artist (he played all instruments except the sax) following on from his career as a producer of Echo & The Bunnymen and member of Care and Big In Japan. The vinyl edition of his debut album was only pressed in a limited run - so here it is in 24bits of gorgeous pop loveliness. I am sure we all the recall the borrowed Love Vigilantes 'hook' on Pure with great fondness.  Play Loud ....Enjoy! A1    All I Want A2    Bound In A Nutshell A3    Pure A4    Sweet Dreams A5 ...

This was Ian Broudie as a solo artist (he played all instruments except the sax) following on from his career as a producer and member of Care and Big In Japan. Vinyl pressings from this era were not great and this rip was coaxed from a much loved original vinyl - I also have the CD but most of you will have that too, whereas the vinyl was only pressed in a limited run - so here it is in 24bits of gorgeous pop loveliness. I am sure we all the recall the borrowed Love Vigilantes 'hook' on Pure with great fondness. Enjoy!
