The Coral-The Coral

The first release from this English band, this was released in 2002. I heard a lot of hype about this band then and bought the CD. I don’t think I ever listened to it. They have a retro-Psychedelica sound like Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, and The Lightning Seeds of a decade before. The VD is produced by Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds. The music is very well played with some nice harmonies. Some songs incorporate some Middle Eastern and Russian Folk music. “Simon Diamond” and “Goodbye” are right out of the 60’s. This is an enhanced CD with two videos and a hidden track “Time Travel” another good one. Comes with a long fold out booklet with lyrics and liner notes. I will want to play this one again.
