Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe and Lawrence, the 2022 edition of the third Felt studio album from 1984 is a strong pop album with great guitar hooks and a simultaneously sad and happy feel to it.
Before the Stone Roses and after Be-Bop Deluxe and Plastic Ono Band, John Leckie worked with Felt. Booked into a metal/reggae studio in Birmingham's industrial wasteland, he sculpted a Michelangelo slice of new rock - exquisite and beautiful guitar odysseys - quite unlike anything the city had experienced before.
Merging pop with a classical nuance, Felt stood alone as the forerunners of a brand new style. And Gary Ainge was finally allowed to use his high-hat!
