NYMPHS Nymphs Nymphs (25th Anniversary Edition)

Popis:

Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered Audio shaped from 24 bit digital technology / 16 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos, band involvement with new interviews. That the Nymphs were not made for this commercial world is, on reflection, a pretty obvious statement. This is the story of a gloriously talented and forward thinking band, led by one of the most enigmatic and fascinating female vocalists of the time. In many respects they were destined for failure; it was a scenario written in the stars and one that maybe could never have succeeded, despite valiant attempts made by all those involved in the project. Indeed, if you are looking for a text book example of a great concept that crashed and burnt then this is the one. Based in Los Angeles during the late 80s and led by Inger Lorre, the band were snapped up by label giant Geffen Records and touted as a revelation. Sounding pretty much unlike anything else at the time, their firebrand alt hard rock galvanised the label into believing the band held the key to the future. In many ways they did by making a stunning record, helmed by respected British producer Bill Price, the very same man who tamed the Sex Pistols, set fire to the Clash and gave the Pretenders a sound that continues to endure. It was, however, Lorre's charismatic leadership and song writing that has secured the band s place in the pantheon of missed opportunities. Controversial, volatile and unapologetic, Inger led from the front, missing no opportunity to cause mayhem at every opportunity. Truly, this is one of the most extraordinary records of the last twenty five years. Track listing: Just One Happy Day; Cold; 2 Cats; Imitating Angels; Wasting My Days; Heaven; Supersonic; Sad And Damned; Death Of A Scenester; The River; Revolt; The Highway.
