Review by Bissia Jul 19, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

referencing Burning Blue Soul, CD, Album, RE, RM, 9 45266-2

This 1993 is a re-release of the same 1981 4AD label/Cherry Red Music published album on vinyl with a different and much better 'psychedelic' designed sleeve. The original 4AD release is now a 'collectors item' obviously. It is a full of beautiful songs and ethereal 'soundscapes' but lack the sound and production quality of best album from 'The The' to date: 'Soul Mining', due to the fact that it was recorded on an 8 track, as Matt Johnson once told in paper interview. That's the reason why, back then, he left 4AD for Some Bizzare.
