Product Description

From Amazon.com

Like the album's title, this music is about the basics. This seminal release from 1990 rerouted pop music for several years, and for the better. This simple guitar/bass/drum/vocal affair cut like a searchlight through the fog of tortuously overproduced music of the time, as The Sundays proved that more is often merely more. Harriet Wheeler's lilting, swooningly sweet voice is clearly the strong driving factor behind this debut's appeal, fore-grounded through spare arrangements and an almost timid rhythm section, though the timbre of Wheeler's voice is perfectly matched to David Gavurin's terrific 12-string guitar. Taken as a whole, the album bears repeated listening, even though some of the songs tend to blur together. The hit single "Here's Where the Story Ends" is rivaled by, if not equal to, "You're Not the Only One I Know," "I Kicked a Boy," and "Joy." --Alan E. Rapp

5.0 out of 5 stars 美しい歌声、個性的な作曲スタイル。珠玉の名作, 2001/11/25
全曲が個性的なストーリー性のある曲で、
曲ごとに浮かんでくるイメージが鮮烈に異なります。

Harriet Wheelerの伸びのある美声はいつまでも
印象に残ります。

もう十年以上聴いていますが、何度聴いても飽きません。

どの曲が一番良いかと問われても応えに窮する
全曲名曲のオンパレードです。

5.0 out of 5 stars もっとも愛してるアルバムの一枚, 2005/1/16
友人に薦められて初めて聞いたのがもう15年も前。ブリティッシュロックなんて全く聴かない私が、今でも唯一、ほんと唯一聞き続けてるアルバム。うまく表現できないけど、聞くたびに泣きそうになる。サンデイズなんてどんなグループかなんて知らないし、顔すら分からないけどこのアルバムは本当にすばらしい。

5.0 out of 5 stars 透明感のあるヴォーカル, 2008/12/2
透明感のあるハリエット・ホイーラーのヴォーカル。
ドリーミンなサウンド。
さわやか路線一直線のデビューアルバム。
自分たちの持ち味をストレートに表現することがゆるされたともいえるこの作品は
他の作品にくらべ初々しさが感じられます。
時代や流行に流されない普遍的な魅力で輝く作品。
