Nome: | [indie-pop, indie-rock] (2020) Gene - The Albums [FLAC] [DarkAngie] |
Description: Review: Celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album Olympian, Edsel Records presents a deluxe 9CD box set of the much loved and respected Gene. The box set features all four studio albums; ‘Olympian’, ‘Drawn to the Deep End’, ‘Revelations’ and ‘Libertine’. It also features the live album ‘Rising for Sunset’ and the 1996 compilation ‘To See the Lights’. Inspired by the songs of The Smiths, The Jam and The Faces, Martin Rossiter’s literate vocals and Steve Mason’s fluid guitar lines were perfectly complemented by the intuitive rhythm section of Kevin Miles and Matt James. They released four studio albums and a collection of B-sides and radio demos between 1995 and 2001, were named Best New Act at the inaugural NME awards in 1995, and went on to score 10 Top 40 hits. Three bonus discs include; ‘Drawn to the Deep End’ rarities and B-sides, ‘Revelations’ single edits and B-sides, and ‘Libertine’ demos and bonus material. *** In May 1994, after signing to the Costermonger label, which journalists Keith Cameron and Roy Wilkinson founded specifically to release Gene’s songs, the double A-side ‘For the Dead’ / ‘Child’s Body’ was released. The single was named ‘Single of The Month’ in Select magazine and ‘Single of The Week’ in NME. Further Single of The Weeks followed for Gene’s second single (a triple A-side consisting of ‘Be My Light Be My Guide’, ‘This Is Not My Crime’ and ‘I Can’t Help Myself’). This coincided with the band’s rapid ascent, which saw them acclaimed for their impassioned live performances; winning Best New Act at the NME’s annual Brat Awards; adorning the covers of both NME and Melody Maker, and following singles ‘Sleep Well Tonight’ and ‘Haunted By You’ both entering the Top 40 Singles Chart. In spring 1995 the band released their much-anticipated debut album Olympian. Charting at number 8 in the UK (with the title track entering the Top 20), it was both a commercial and critical success, receiving across the board acclaim. After further winning plaudits for their live shows and extensive touring, in 1997 the band released their second album, Drawn to the Deep End (their first album for Polydor). Another Top 10 album, it was also another critical success with Q Magazine awarding it four stars. The same month the band played with a full orchestra to a sell-out audience at the Royal Albert Hall. Transmitted on Radio 1, the event was commemorated by the release of two live EPs in tandem with the last two singles from Drawn to the Deep End. This was followed in 1999 by Revelations. Recorded in under a month to capture the energy of their live shows, the album was a much rockier affair than it’s predecessor and featured several tracks that were highly critical of New Labour. The band toured the album to rapturous response, selling out many venues as well as making a successful appearance at Reading Festival. After parting ways with label Polydor, Gene spent 2000 touring the world and playing a sell-out US tour. The band then released two new songs – ‘Rising For Sunset’ and ‘Somewhere in the World’ – both which were featured on their final album, 2001’s Libertine. Released on their own Sub Rosa Records label, it was to be the last studio recordings of a much loved and still widely regarded indie band of the era.
