THE PINEAPPLE THIEF REISSUE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM UNDER ITS ORIGINAL NAME, ABDUCTED AT BIRTH

Following their second European tour for the 2016 summer hit album Your Wilderness, and the release of their stunning concert film recorded at the Islington Assembly Hall, Where We Stood, The Pineapple Thief reissue their 1999 debut album under its original name, Abducted at Birth. When the album was first released, the name was changed to Abducting the Unicorn by the label, Cyclops Records, in order to create a connection with the previous band headed by TPT's frontman Bruce Soord - Vulgar Unicorn.

Featuring strong melodies and powerful choruses, this early post-progressive album is an insight in to Soord's songwriting talent and the birth of one of the UK's leading progressive bands in 2017. Abducted at Birth, newly remastered by The Pineapple Thief keyboardist Steve Kitch. The cover art has been completely updated, using fan-submitted photography to explore the new theme of Abducted at Birth, to startling effect.

The acoustic version makes each song even more impactful, sometimes more melancholic. I love how the vocal harmonies and the lyrics are emphasized even more. katchuppina

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
