[Heston]

I fucking love Big Country's first album.

No love for Steeltown?

I thought it was bit too bombastic, coupla good tracks though.

Yeah, I guess I'd say I prefer The Crossing overall.

After The Crossing they released "Wonderland" which was a great single. Then they released "East of Eden" as the trailer single for Steeltown and I was disappointed. It sounded a bit too serious and tuneless. I remember I really loved "Where the Rose is Sown" but the rest of that album left me a bit cold.

I think it's a good solid album "Just a Shadow" is a great track.

Just remembered another song that rips off SISOSIG, Fields of Fire by Big Country.

At least they acknowledged it...

Nice footage this would've been when they were promoting "The Seer". I went to see them at the Hexagon in Reading when they were promoting "The Crossing" a really great gig. It's funny I am only sat just 300 feet from The Hexagon as I type this.

On a related note: the Skids were pretty cool, too.

[Chairman Ralph]

Both bands were cool, though I think that Big Country maintained a reasonable quality control standard until their demise -- there's so much more to their story than the "bagpipe guitar" angle that the music press beat to death after The Crossing came out. And they were a pretty good live act, too, as any number of boots will bear out.

I'd always heard that the quality dropped off after The Seer, so I never bothered to check out the later stuff. Guess I will now. I just read that their last album has a couple tracks co-written by Ray Davies—that sounds interesting.

Oh, hell yes.

I've always had a soft spot for Peace In Our Time, myself -- I know that it didn't meet with a favor when it came out, but there's a handful of tracks ("King Of Emotion," "Broken Heart [13 Valleys]," "From Here To Eternity") that stand among their very best. I'm not familiar with what they did after that period, so I've got a bit of investigating to do, myself. At any rate, there's a lot of stuff to look into.

I had the cassette of Peace In Our Time. I thought it was better than The Seer. The standout tracks are the same for me, but i'll add "I Could Be Happy Here". It's their best album closer since "Just a Shadow" from Steeltown.

Kris Needs has recently posted on Facebook that Jimmy Jazz has its origins in a song off Funkadelic's Cosmic Slop. Perhaps, but seems like pretty standard jazzy guitar chords to me.

[Chairman Ralph]

I'd say it's even more standardized chording than that -- up the scale and back down (A-D-D7-E-A), with the odd F# thrown in for light relief! At least, that's the way I've been playin' it...

[Howard Beale]

I hear it.

Me too. Unless they were both listening to some common predecessor.

Yep it's a steal even down to Strummers vocals.
