After a five year hiatus, the Blue Nile are rereleasing their three albums “A Walk Across The Rooftops”, “High” & “Peace At Last” as 1000 limited edition copies on 180 gram weighted vinyl.
All three albums have been remastered by Calum Malcolm during the summer of 2019.
“You can spot a Blue Nile fan at the bus stop – they’re the ones not
giving out about the bus being late. Fans waited patiently for five years for
the Scottish trio to follow up A Walk Across the Rooftop, their 1984 cult
classic, then another seven years for this, their third album. Their patience
was amply rewarded: Peace at Last found Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and Paul
Joseph
Moore adding more textures to their electro-acoustic palette, and balancing
their detached sense of wonder with a deeply personal feeling of empathy, all
wrapped in a warm cloak of spirituality. Gospel-like opener Happiness begins
with Buchanan mired in self-doubt, then raised up by an amateur choir.
Sentimental Man and Love Came Down are classic Blue Nile workouts, drums and
bass wound tightly around gliding guitars and key-boards, Buchanan’s soulful
cry gently coaxing out the emotion.” – The Irish Times
