Second Coming

Product Information

Fools Gold' was so different - and presumably for the musicians involved so liberating - that they would never again sound the same as on their debut. (Or, at least, only briefly, and with such apparent effort as to render the results problematic at best.) The song has been eulogised extensively so there's no need to go into it in too much detail here, save for the important bit that often gets forgotten: it's a hip-hop record. Sonically, it's about locating the heart of the riff, looping it and intensifying it through repetition, then playing with its layers. Electronic dance music tends to do this in neat and resolved measures, allowing the patterns to play for a set number of bars before adding another element or two, then maybe taking something else out (cf 'Blue Monday' - and in the case of records that great, this clearly isn't meant to imply any criticism). Hip hop is more organic, retains the live-band feel from the samples it uses, and consequently sounds more hand-crafted

It sounds like the mysterious air of the Welsh hills is getting to them and they are further loosing that city touch, that urban howl that fuses all great pop.Already in two bands before he joined The Stone Roses, it was perhaps friend Simon Wright's successful audition for AC/DC in 1984 which prompted him towards more serious ambitions. The album could have ended up like the Beatles ”ËœLet It Be’- scraps and hints of former genius, instead it came out like ”ËœAbbey Road’- a last act of wilful discipline as their whole world came crashing down.

During the band's time in the public eye, their relationship with the mass media was notably different from other bands before and after. The members would often display no interest in promoting themselves, which was typified through reticent and capricious behaviour. Even with the Stone Roses' reformation in 2011, the group continued to provide few interviews. This approach left many journalists confused and sometimes angered.

The moment when the mates against the world, last gang in town vibe has gone it can never be recovered. It’s a natural part of the process- who wants to sit in a transit van or a studio for ever! You get older, you change and you move on. Take that into consideration and it’s amazing that the Roses actually produced a second album and one of such quality. Trendell, Andrew (8 April 2014).
