BLUR
"13"
EMI
1999
Ahora que hay aluvión de grandes grupos que vuelven de décadas pasadas,me dispongo a rescatar de las catacumbas este gran disco de finales de los noventa como es el sexto álbum de Blur el cual me sigue pareciendo el mejor de su carrera,ya que es el más experimental,alocado y sobretodo más denso y profundo,el gran motivo de esto puede ser la ruptura que sufrió Damon con Justine (Elastica) lo que hace que el disco este practicamente entero inspirado en ella y también en su propia relación con las drogas y el alcohol.
El primer corte del álbum es una fantástica pieza con inspiraciones del Blues y el Folk americano,añadiéndole en el estribillo unos coros Gospel estupendos.
Le sigue "Bugman" y nos empezamos a hallar en terrenos de Noise e Indie al más puro estilo Pavement con pinceladas de música de baile muy bien estructuradas gracias al productor William Orbit.añadir que en esta y muchas otras canciones Graham Coxon (en lo que fué su álbum de despedida) esta esplendido con esas guitarras huracanadas y tormentosas dando volteretas y piruetas a las canciones con sus riffs,solos y punteos.
"Coffee & Tv" fué el gran hit del álbum y es una gran composición de Folk/Pop de Graham.mientras que en "Swamp Song" les sale la vena más Rockerista y Blues y desquiziada y Psicópata propiamente influenciada de bandas americanas como Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
Otros grandes temas a destacar son: el Punk de B.L.U.R.E.M.I. ¿Homenaje a Sex Pistols? la melancólica "Caramel" .la derrotada balada "No Distance Left To Run" que es de lo mejorcito de Blur en su amplia carrera.pero sobretodo me quedaria con el Ambient-Rock pasado por el Dance de "Battle"
para ir cerrando tenemos el instrumental "Optigan 1" pero sobretodo antes tenemos una joya como es "Trimm Trabb" con grandes reverberaciones y voz de Damon y las fantásticas guitarras acústicas y eléctricas de Graham.sin duda para mi lo que es ha sido y sera el mejor tema de Blur.
Now there are flood of large groups returning from decades past, I prepare to rescue the catacombs this great album late nineties as Blur's sixth album which I still find the best of his career, as it is the more experimental, especially wild and dense and deep, the big reason for this may be the break he suffered Damon with Justine (Elastica) what makes this album almost entirely inspired by her and in her own relationship with drugs and alcohol.
The album's first single is a fantastic piece with inspirations of Blues and American Folk, adding in the chorus some great gospel choirs.
He continues "Bugman" and we started to find in terrains of Noise and Indie Pavement-style with touches of dance music perfectly formed thanks to producer William Orbit.añadir that in this and many other songs Graham Coxon (as was their farewell album) is splendid with those guitars hurricane and storm tumbling and stunts to songs with riffs, solos and riffs.
"Coffee & TV" was the big hit of the album and is a great composition of Folk / Pop Graham.mientras in "Swamp Song" leaves them more Rockerista vein and Psycho Blues and desquiziada and properly influenced American bands like Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
Other major issues to note are: the Punk BLUREMI Tribute to Sex Pistols?? the melancholy "Caramel." the defeated ballad "No Distance Left To Run" that is second to none in its broad Blur carrera.pero mostly I stay with the Ambient-Rock Dance undergone the "Battle".
We have to be closing instrumental "Optigan 1" but especially before we have a gem as "Trimm Trabb" with big reverberations and Damon's voice and fantastic acoustic and electric guitars of Graham.sin certainly is for me what has been and will the best song of Blur.
