Back To Mine - Everything But The Girl

heard that you thought I was REALLY that kind of person- the kind that wears desert boots, the kind that owns Tracy Chapman's second album. But times change, Everything But the Girl change, I change and here we have an album that I really rather like to prove that I REALLY am going soft... It's a compilation- a word that generally brings an odd metallic taste to my mouth with expectation of 'all filler, no killer' type cheesathon misery, like a trip to the dentist- blandness, ugliness, whining and pain with a Nitrous Oxide blanket. BUT it comes with a guarantee of goodness. It's part of the excellent 'Back to Mine' series, pipped for the ...

Eden - Everything But The Girl

most successful single. This single sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone and went on to become one of the biggest selling singles of that decade. Everything But the Girl however have a history that is much richer and diverse than that of simply a one hit wonder, and contrary to common belief this was not even their first assault on the charts. I have been a fan for as long as I can remember and I have seen them live over 20 times so for me their transgression towards a dancefloor band was somewhat surprising considering their early roots. The band consists of just two members. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt who met at Hull University during the late 1970 s. A ...

Idlewild - Everything But The Girl

Just four years after the release of their debut album Eden, Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, collectively known as Everything But the Girl released their fourth studio album Idlewild in 1988. The first three albums had all been completely different. Eden with its Jazz and Soul influences, the follow up album, Love Not Money, with its songs about social and political issues, and the third album the glitzy, showbiz, Burt Bacharach style songs with their country influences that found themselves on the album, Baby The Stars Shine Bright. It would have been difficult to try and guess what direction the duo would head off into next, but the truth is with Idlewild they went for ...
