Product Description

CD Description
Pulp's third album, SEPARATIONS, was recorded in 1989 but not released until three years later. The record opens with aseries of wails and a look forward to a future that "is shining like a giant metal beast, it shines so brightly, with its legs open wide". "Love is Blind" also features one of thefirst of lyricist Jarvis Cocker's spoken word asides, many of which seem to be highly personal tales of debauchery and degradation. The title track opens with a minute-long violinsolo but launches into a string section before settling into a saga of loneliness driven by keyboards and rhythm. "Countdown", set to a near-disco beat, traces the social decline of the narrator.
"My Legendary Girlfriend", the first truly great Pulp single, is a mostly spoken-word, nearly seven-minute-long song featuring a "Shaft"-like guitar sound underCocker's sweaty, sexually charged mumblings. The electro-fueled "This House is Condemned" wraps up the album with eightminutes of warped guitar, disjointed keyboards, and lyrics that address the mental breakdown of a man whose life is collapsing around him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 19 Mar 2003
By D. Kranikoglou "virgoagogo" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To really see where Pulp's defining 'Different Class' era sound began, Separations is where to go. Death II shines beautifully while My Legendary Girlfriend, Don't You Want Me Anymore, and Countdown showcase themselves wonderfully. Any Pulp fan would be mad to not have this album - as you can fully appreciate Pulp's transition from obscure to popular in listening to them grow on this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a chart album and proud: (Princess LaLa), 7 April 2006
By A Customer
Filled with dark tales of death, abandonment, regret and distained worth this is by far the best and darkest Pulp album available, and is essential for any fan of the group's darker sides.

The distant wailing of the opening track 'Love Is Blind' leads into one of Jarvis' most expressive vocals; soaring through a huge range of needful sounds describing the mundane spirit of love.

The unmistakable keyboard stamp intro, combined with a fantastic lyric opens the wire doors to 'Don't You Want Me Anymore' the first of a two-part story about the risks of leaving love and home; a simply beautiful track.

The haunting violin intro of 'Separations' with the desperate, godly vocal are utterly capturing. The sound then dramatically changes; bouncing musically into a jiggy, swirling, bumble-bee melody, with a bird's-eye-view narrative; thus creating a fantastic 2nd part to 'Don't You Want Me Anymore.'

There are NO poor tracks on this album!

My only regret is that the inlay sheet contains no lyrics; this is a real sore point for me personally.
