What I love about Doves (and Elbow) is that they are carrying the flag for progressive rock, but absent the over-blown pomposity.  And capes.


What's wrong with capes?  ...eh?

Doves are hit or miss for me. This tune is a HIT!  Thanx RP!

One of the best album opening tracks out there. Really set's the scene.

Guys, if you haven't listened Lost Souls in its entirety- you should. What a band.

Yes. That's the word. It's like I'm back in NYC in the late 80's, walking back to my apartment at 1am after a late night out, I know the way, I've done it plenty of times, but...

Sounds as if it wants to go somewhere but never does. A 3 is probably unfair, but it is "Ho Hum"

Agree about the “Rock on” reference and would add “Tubular bells”

There is a splendid version of this mixed with Rock on, by David Essex. Honestly, it’s worth giving it a go - better than you’d think. Posted 2 months ago by captbradders from United Kingdom That would be very cool to listen to. "Rock On" really stood out in the musical crowd when it came out. Thanks for the tip!

My favourite Doves album - for me, they are at their peak here.

This sounds more "guitary" than either of those artists to me - similar atmosphere though.

The Flaming Lips were formed quite a few years before Doves....a couple decades before I would say. The Lips were formed in the mid '80's.

 
Doves were formed in the mid-'90s, but they didn't release an album until 2000.  More than a couple of years, but less than than 'a couple of decades'.

Yes, the whole album is terrific. My favourite track on it is "The Man Who Told Everything" (which unfortunately is not on the RP playlist).

Lost Souls was their debut LP. Definitely worth getting. Just like their other two albums actually (and hopefully the new one that will come out in 2009!).

 

Thank you...I will definitely check it out!!

I love this song. I worked on the sound on an irish film called Disco Pigs and we used this track in one of the really emotive scenes and it was amazing. It's a great unknown film by the way, directed by Kirsten Sheridan and lead by Cillian Murphy (starred in 28 Days Later)

Wow - this thing just kinda came out of nowhere on a big white horse and swept me away to the steppes of Russia, where armies were in collision and battles for the future of civilisation were being waged. Then, just as it looked like the forces of evil were going to prevail, up popped Alice with a giant mushroom.
