Walk Across the Rooftops album Product Description
The debut album from the enigmatic Blue Nile received tremendous reviews, yet barely scraped the chart. The promise was there, and it took shape on the second album Hats. Paul Buchanan's pleading voice is made for late-night listening in a cosy bedsitting room. Mulling over love lost, love found, happy times, sad times and kitchen sinks (I lied about the last bit, but you get the picture), a beautiful landscape of evocative music soaks in rather than hitting you first time. Blue Nile can be played over and over again, which is why they have only felt the need to put out three records in 15 years! Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the Scottish trio's debut album including a bonus disc containing seven additional tracks. A Walk Across the Rooftops was originally released in 1984 on Linn Records, a label set up specifically to release the album. Linn Electronics of Glasgow wanted a recording to demonstrate 'the fidelity and versatility' of a recording console they had developed. Having heard a demo of 'Tinseltown In The Rain' while visiting Castlesound Studios, they approached the band to fund the recording of a full album, and formed a record label to release it. The rest as they say is history: a critically acclaimed album which led to high expectations for their second album. Audio Remasterers: Paul Buchanan; Robert Bell; Calum Malcolm. Recording information: Castlesound, Edinburgh. Rolling Stone - " a seductively well-crafted first album."
