This week David celebrates 25 years since the release if Mansun's debut album, Attack of the Grey Lantern.

ascolteremo il primo album dei mansun

First Thursday of the month sees the return of Melting Pot - only on Open Tempo FM, with DJ Martin Powers. New music from unsigend acts such as Waterfords 7 Levels and Backroad Smokers Club and Wales's Vega Bodegas - all on Spotify, Bandcamp and SoundCloud This weeks album of the month was Mansusn's Attack of the Grey Lantern. One of the best seminal albums I've ever heard, high production and well chosen tracks mixed in, seemlesly blending dancey beats with indie rock, which allowed for some massive Trance and House remixes back in the day of the likes of Paul Oakenfold. Tracklist: Mansun - she makes my nose bleed The Cure - Inbetween days Wooden Shjips - golden flower Urge overkill - dropout The vega bodegas - monkey eat the monkey (Welsh indie rock) jerry cantrell - my song The night cafe - endless lovers 7 Level - did you ever really listen (Waterford indie punk) jamiroquai - when you gonna learn Backroad smokers club - music is a movement (waterford indie funk) Proton - we're funkin St Germain - sure thing Saint ettienne - nothing can stop us Attack of the grey lantern (full album)

Let's get this out of the way - thanks to the ridiculous nature of regional rights and legal mumbo-jumbo surrounding album releases, we are occasionally stuck reviewing the edited and inferior US release of an album rather than the original UK or Australian version that the artist intended. That's what happened when one of our Patreon patrons selected the sophomore album Six by Mansun for us to check out. The original 1998 UK release features extra songs, a different track list and mixes, and is overall considered to the superior to the chopped-down and rearranged US version released in 1999. Back in the day, we would have made a visit to the local Virgin Megastore and dropped twenty to thirty bucks on an important version, but that option is long gone, so we're playing the hand as dealt. While the band made no secret on their debut Attack of the Grey Lantern that straight-up Brit-pop was of no interest, the band managed to craft radio-friendly pop melodies with twisted instrumentation and odd embellishments. Six takes it one step further, honing the pop songs while doubling-down on the twisted and odd, taking long divergences into instrumental passages, drastic tempo shifts and, uh, The Nutcracker? Intro - Six 14:23 - Negative 20:23 - Legacy 26:06 - Anti-Everything 34:48 - Being A Girl Outro - Fall Out Facebook / Twitter / Instagram   Zazzle Merch Store   http://www.digmeoutpodcast.com

Paul Draper was the front-man, main songwriter and producer of Mansun - one of the most iconic bands of the '90s. The band's debut album Attack of the Grey Lantern entered the UK chart at No 1. The band split in 2003 while recording their fourth LP (partially released on 2004's Kleptomania). Paul went on to work with other bands and artists in a production role, working with Skin from Skunk Anansie, Menace Beach, The Joy Formidable and with Catherine A.D. aka The Anchoress on the acclaimed Confessions of a Romance Novelist album. Recently Paul Draper released EP One and EP Two which are part of the build up to Paul's debut solo album due for release in Spring 2017. Get in touch: podcast@xsnoize.com

Thanks to a Requested Review, we're able to continue our Britpop month with Mansun and their debut released from 1997, Attack of the Grey Lantern. We (re)discover the perils of trying to review a record released with different versions for the US and UK on various streaming platforms, and not communicating about it before the review. Still, we managed to form some coherent thoughts about a band that draws as much from their nearby Britpop influences as American bands from decades earlier.Songs in this Episode:Intro - Take It Easy, Chicken5:07 - History of the Band10:32 - Stripper Vicar16:05 - Wide Open Space22:46 - The Chad Who Loved Me / Millennium (Robbie Williams)Outro - TaxlossFollow on Twitter / FacebookRequest A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

Welcome to episode 66 of Love That Album podcast. What happens if you mix stripping clergy members, trainspotting, James Bond, and English village life? No, not a Monty Python sketch – you get the 1997 debut album from Mansun, a band from the tail end of the musical movement known as Britpop. The album, Attack of the Grey Lantern went to #1 on the British charts – for one week -, but unlike “Parklife” by Blur or “Definitely Maybe” by Oasis seems to have been forgotten about.  What was it replaced by? Tune in and find out. I am joined by Scott Phipps (one half of the excellent film discussion podcast team, Stinking Pause) and my good friend Dave Blom (who chose this album) to discuss not only our feelings about this record, but the Britpop movement in general and the politics of England from the day that surrounded Britpop. 1997 was also the year that gave us Radiohead’s “OK Computer”, so that was the direction British music was inevitably headed to (with a diversion somewhere in the middle!!!) We even find time to make a connection to a classic Australian political jingle. My thanks to both Dave and Scott for making time to come onto the show and bringing their enthusiasm to chat with them. Eric Reanimator returns with his Album I Love segment to discuss a British album from the Britpop period, but stylistically very different. Eric brings us a chat about The Wild Hearts’ 1993 album “Earth Vs The Wild Hearts”. You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “Love That Album”.
