Paul Weller ‎– Heliocentric

After his successful bands The Jam and The Style Council in 1992 Paul Weller put his career as a solo musician. This career makes him end up in the charts again in 1995 with the single "You Do Something To Me" from the album Stanley Road. On his fifth solo album Heliocentric embroiders Weller on earlier albums as Wildwood and Heavy Soul. Guitarist Steve Craddock and bassist Damon Minchella of Ocean Colour Scene, drummer Steve White and Brendan Lynch to Heliocentric again the party while Robert Kirby, known for his work with Nick Drake, was responsible for the sometimes striking orchestrations. The influence of his idols Traffic we hear in the album-opener he's The Keeper but also we hear the familiar sound of The Style Council in songs like Picking Up Sticks and With Time & Temperance. Striking on this strong plate, which quite a few auditions needs to make a good impression, further the Burt Bacharach-like Love-less and the southern European orchestration in there's No Drinking, After you're Dead.
