Details: Product descriptionSoulful 1999 album! Includes « Tender », « Coffee & TV » and « No Distance Left To Run ».Amazon.caIt all begins with a music box noise, not entirely unlike the beginning ofTrumpton (you know, the kids programme with the firemen and Windy Miller). Welcome to yet another new identity for Blur. Gone are the charicatures of bed-and-breakfast owners and bankers, the cockernee knees-ups, football and pubs laddisms.13 is the starkest, most personal Blur album ever, going further in the direction the previous self-titled album hinted at. Dealing, for the most part, with frontman Damon Albarn’s broken relationship with Elastica’s Justine Frischmann, it’s as if Blur have ripped their heart out and left the bloody mess for all to see. « Tender », with its repetitive cycle of a tune and gorgeous gospel choir, must surely remind you of someone special, while « No Distance Left To Run » is pure, unashamed heartbeak. Relief comes in the form of the sweet, Graham Coxon-penned « Coffee And TV » and « B.L.U.R.E.M.I », which recalls their punkier days. Oh, and « Bugman » appears to have utilised the previously untapped musical properties of a vacuum cleaner. « Country House », this is not.–Emma Johnston
