Re: Gorillaz - Song Machine
Well, of course, a Dom Pérignon '46 is objectively better tasting than some infamous cider. But to re-focus on the main question, which was about the Blur-tiny-world (band + solos + collaborations), imho, wondering "Is The Kiss Of Morning better than Demon Days ?" is like comparing two bottles of a ...

Re: The Divine Comedy - new box set
Absolutely not.
It's off the Victory For The Comic Muse album, and imho, its highlight is A Lady Of A Certain Age, possibly Neil Hannon's best song ever.
I also like To Die A Virgin, Mother Dear, and Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World better than Snowball In Negative. Very solid album.

Re: What acoustic guitar was used on MLIR/Parklife?
Wow. Thanks again, this is all very precious information! I'll take good note of all of that. Girls And Boys : are we talking of the settings for the main riff's flanger bit ( F chord strummed), or the high-pitched lick in the ending? I always thought Chemical World was through a vibrato, not a flan...

Re: The Jaded Hearts Club
a boring run through of some uninteresting classics. :shock: Wow. I wouldn't call Reach Out I'll Be There uninteresting... An epic Motown standard, imho, though in the Jaded Hearts' version, Matt Bellamy (or whoever holds the bass) completely messes up the bass part (but how could you possibly top ...

Re: What acoustic guitar was used on MLIR/Parklife?
Thanks so much for all this information. :o Recently bought a BF-2 and need to play with it a bit more but pretty sure I've worked out Girls and Boys, Popscene and Chemical World settings (which is definitely a flanger by the way and not the VB-2). I can put these up if anyone is interested? Yep, I'...

Re: What acoustic guitar was used on MLIR/Parklife?
I think Stephen Street used the old trick of recording two acoustic tracks and panning then hard left and right to give that stereo spread. That's indeed what's done on For Tomorrow , and can clearly be heard on the acoustic version that was published as a B-side. I recently bought a DD Boss pedal,...

Re: Papa Roach cover Song 2
The annoying thing with Song 2 when it gets covered is the guitar part, really. I've seen dozens of bands play it, and not once have I seen the guitarist nail the part right; everyone seems to consider it's like a basic US punk song for the kids, only power chords tadatada, whereas Graham really cam...

Re: Don't bomb when you are the bomb
Don't Bomb was intentionally released with no indication that it was actually by Blur, with this whole "white label" thing. I wouldn't call it a single. From what I recall, it nicely added some confusion to the questions of activity and musical direction of the band in that period, perhaps delibera...

Re: Question about backing vocals on 'Tender' outro
"Heal me" would definitely fit more to a gospel song.
