New Lightning Seeds album (5/18)

Bet no one remembers these guys. Their last release "Tilt" was pretty uneven. But 1994's "Jollification" and 1996's "Dizzy Heights" were great Brit pop albums. They have a new album, "Four Winds", out on 5/18. Hope it's good.

I loved Sense, but didn't like the one after that (with the strawberry on the cover) and never paid attention after that.

It was called "Jollification". And you should really give it another chance. It spawn many hit singles on the UK charts and was nominated for album of the year. It really is one of the best pop albums I've ever heard. And that duet with Alison Moyet is freakin' incredible.

Sure I remember them... still listen to their music fairly regularly. Thanks for the heads up.

personally I liked 'Tilt' immensily, particularily the song: 'Cigarette and Lies'

this is awesome I didn't know they had a forthcoming new album

Yeesh. I don't know about this one fans. Just listen to the samples. It's so damn mellow. Two songs are borderline country. And the only pop song seems to be "Don't Walk On By". Which I bet the label chooses as the single. I can't see this album doing well at all.

sorry longtime LS fans, this album is dull dull dull...could barely get past track 4 as, literally, I was falling asleep while driving (and yes, I had a full 8 hours of sleep the night prior!)

it's pretty adult contemp. and awfully boring...but who knows, different strokes for different folks as mama used to say!
