Did you watch a secrret history after that?  It came out when he released tracks which is a 4 cd comp of rare songs etc...  The 2nd part 'tracks 2' is coming out soon.  Around 25 years after the first one.

 

Incredible artist, unfortunately a lot of people just remember the chest thumping born in the USA but there's so much more to him, been a fan since the 80's, been lucky enough to see him live more than once.  Go through his discography you won't regret any of them.

This is class, never really listened to The The after developing a deep fear of them thanks to Absolute Radio seemingly scrapping their no repeat guarantee to play This Is The Day 8 times an hour back in an old job

Lovely work from the one and only Jools Holland on the outro as well if memory serves

Those early R.E.M. albums are up there with the best music of all-time for me.

Definitely. More indie, more raw, more independent, more lo-fi, more of a treasure. "Murmur" is unrivaled, and that was their debut.

I particularly like the sped-up Chronic Town version of Ages Of You:

A mate recommended that I listen to the Blue Nile, I think Tinseltown in the Rain may be my new favourite song.

i have loved them for a long time , and two great songs, Paul buccanan ( sp!?) did some solo work but it never matched The blue Nile work.  
 

this is also a cracking song of theirs..
