Given that no-one, in the wider world, really cared about James until 10 years into their career, when they released 'Sit Down', it's amazing they managed to repay this sudden attention with a creative burst that still sounds magical. 'Seven' was their journey out into Waterboys-esque Big Music, whilst 1993's 'Laid', following a year after, was a semi-retreat back indoors again. Producer Brian Eno - ever the restraining reins when bands get on their big horse of rock - made sure that James' urges to go all Simple Minds are firmly curtailed, whilst the simply gorgeous 'Sometimes (Lester Piggot)', the result of an all-night jam-session, could probably be used in religious devotionals. One chord, sixty acoustic guitars, Tim Booth ranting about a boy being struck down by lightening and a choir that appears for the last 30 seconds. If only all bands could touch God this late into their careers, Tin Machine would never have existed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50409486745931,"sku":"386867","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/dfc94d1c-b8d1-4121-8073-1f769fe01c04_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726615409","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/laid","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
