Compilation 2xCD Renascent 2004
"'I can't believe how good we sound', writes drummer Mike Dudley in the sleevenotes, and indeed for fans of this colossal, neglected group, here's a find on a par with nectar on Mars. From various sessions and In Concert performances emerge four glorious bursts of adrenalin-dripping art-rock, too fast and furious but all the more exhilarating for that. On earlier songs like Heartland and Winning, the late, great Adrian Borland was a match for any singer or guitarist on the planet at that moment. By '85, frustration's creeping in, but on Under You and a scorching Missiles he makes it work for him. U2? Joy Division? Bunnymen? They pale in this band's shadow".

Thanks for posting! It's fantastic!
This one's for me.
Joy!
I agree completely. The Sound were one of the most under-rated bands of their time. They came from a place where musically only Joy Division were working at the time.
I was lucky enough to see them play live once. They made a big impression on me at the time. I can't tell you how sad I felt when I heard about Adrian Borland's death.
love this blog , Adrian s present everywhere, thanks a lot for this amazing blog.
The Sound have been part of the soundtrack of my life for 30 years now. It will be an event to sit down with a cool one and listen to this! Many thanks for both this post and your terrific blog!

This album is a compilation of different styles and sounds, this album is good enough but I like the traditional music with a determined genre.m10m
The album is really great, specially the CD1 that includes "Skeleton", my favorite track since ever. Personally I think is the best album of all time.
