Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Guitarist/psychedelic lifer Steve Hillage's skewed, hypnotic take on synth-y 80s pop rock, colored by his reliably sublime guitar work and spectral, Eno-esque vocals. I've always loved Hillage's first few records, but for some reason, I never really delved further into his discography until last week, when a friend kinda randomly sent this my way, and I immediately fell in love with it. Destined to be one my most listened-to records of the summer.
Track listing:
1. These Uncharted Lands
2. Kamikaze Eyes
3. Alone
4. Anthems for the Blind
5. Bright Future
6. Frame by Frame
7. Waiting
8. Glory

ReplyDeleteYour description makes this sound compelling and I'm not even an Eno fan. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of Bill Nelson's avant pop era in the early 80s, which was more stylaised but in the same area.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks DEAR_SPIRIT for sharing this album. ......"Anthems for the Blind" is the stand out track for me........Love & Peace Stu
ReplyDeleteHillage's output can be uneven. For me his best efforts are Rainbow Dome Music and Fish Rising.
ReplyDeleteDo you have L to post? Thats the only Hillage record that doesn't seem to be on any blogs
ReplyDeleteI do not, haven't been able to find a rip.
