Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It didn't have a name, this new sound that Mike Scott was hearing in his head, so he called it The Big Music. This, it turns out, was something of an understatement. If Icarus had access to a recording studio, the ensuing result may have sounded like This Is The Sea--nine songs almost entirely unified by one man's desire to transcend his mortality. As you can imagine, it's an intense affair. Anthony Thistlethwaite's celestial sax playing seems to duel constantly with Scott's impassioned exhortations--to stunning effect on "Medicine Bow" and "Don't Bang The Drum". In the hands of most artists, such ambition would only result in grand folly. As "The Whole Of The Moon"--the most famous track on this album--emphasises though, there was something truly visionary about Scott at this time. To spend any time with This Is The Sea is to feel an entire Glastonbury of goose pimples take place on your spine. --Peter Paphides
