過去のPodcastのマンサンのレビューを再訪しておりました。個人的にはSteven WilsonとTim BowmessのPodcast、The Album YearsのSIXのレビューが1番面白い。ミュージシャンの視点から語られるSIX評は一味違います。

でもこれも十分楽しんだけどね!↓

完全再現のライブ版、本当に再現度高いのでみんなもっと聴いたほうがいい。ベン君の職人技が光る🤩
それにしてもSIXの完全再現ライブ版が出なかったのは本当残念…(しつこい)

時にはMansunバージョンのこれを聞き返してみるのも良いでしょう。この頃の細い声にもとても魅力がありますが、今の方が声にツヤがあるように感じます。

そして新しい音源のRetoldのアレンジと作り込み、本当に素晴らしい!

Attack Of The Grey Lantern | Mansun | 1997

1 | Disgusting

It should have been a single according to Paul Draper and I agree. I love the Ants-like percussion and the whole feel of the track. It stood out on the first listen and still does now.

Spent yesterday at Abbey Road Studios doing half speed master of Attack Of The Grey Lantern for release next year, which sounds superb. Here’s some snaps of me at the front door, in Studio 2 where The Beatles recorded their stuff, in the back garden and leaving the building. PD.

Set for release on 20th February, Mansun Retold sees Paul Draper revisit and reimagine some of the most iconic songs from Mansun’s catalogue, rebuilding them from the ground up. Today, he has shared the album’s first single ‘I’ve Seen The Top Of The Mountain Retold’.

The first Test Pressing has arrived for my new album. It’s fully unplugged full band performances of some of my favourite songs I’ve written but can you guess the final name of the album? I’ve scrubbed it out in the photograph! Answers below, you’ll find out very, very soon! PD.

Mansunの2EPのBサイド曲なので、恐らくは20代前半か、もしかしたら10代の頃に書かれたものかもしれません。歌詞を見てると一貫性というか、今につながるPaulさんらしさを感じます👍
