Details: Product DescriptionThough they’ve only charted one U.S. hit, 1994’s Laid , James have been huge in England for 15 years, earning fans like Brian Eno. Here’s 18 of their best, including Laid; Born of Frustration; Come Home; How Was It for You; Sit Down , and more, including rare single versions and two new songs.Amazon.caRiding on the powerful wave of Manchester’s early 1990’s musical renaissance, James’ intellectual and improvised approach complemented a dance heavy scene and catapulted the seven-piece in to the limelight. « Come Home » and « Sit Down »–James’ most lucrative singles–commence this 18 songBest Of collection. Elsewhere, the equally commercial « She’s A Star » from 1997 and 1998’s satirical « Destiny Calling » prove that James have consistently carved out new territory for themselves and their listeners. Gradually drawing away from the brittle bones of their 1980s incarnation as a provocative but marginalised indie four-piece–as evinced on 1995’s « Hymn From A Village »–1991 saw a strengthened James refining their musical designs to the point of subtle perfection on the epic « Sound ». Writers of pop songs, devotees of producer ‘s spirit of adventure–and occasionally unwitting victims of singer and lyricist’s Tim Booth’s sanctimonious and heavy-handed manner–James are a true enigma. TheirBest Of is an island of musical intrigue and possibility.–James Littlewood
