marklovesdeafrobots hello, i have listened to Glam. To be honest, it was not what i was expecting, but perhaps i should read the blurb beforehand. i was expecting something more like the Dark Side of the Moon release - it isn't like that. But no worse for it not being. It was a joyous celebration of songs i love. i would particularly pick out Perfect Day, the outro is even better than the original to me. Thanks for this. Mx

David Gray Absolutely wonderful compilation of 35 Glam Rock classics. The love of this period of musical history shines through with a genuine warmth in the performances.

about

Recorded during February and March 2023, as demos for his band Capital Models, re songs they might cover or, in a few cases, already do, Cloudland Blue Quartet has pulled together 35 performances from those sessions for this Record Store Day special limited time release, most have never been heard before while a few have been featured on his weekly Eclectic Selection podcasts on Mixcloud.

Every song is a first take, vocal-wise - indeed David had never sung many of these songs prior to the performances released here. For those reasons, you will undoubtedly spot fluffs and errors from the very off (e.g. a miscue in "Your Song", the shocking end section of "Quicksand") as he makes his way through the catalogues of David Bowie (11), The Velvet Underground (5), Lou Reed (4), Bryan Ferry (3), The Sweet (2), Elton John (2), T Rex (2), Roxy Music (2), Cockney Rebel (2), Alice Cooper (1) and Mott the Hoople (1).

about

Cloudland Blue Quartet Edinburgh, UK

A quartet in name only, initially influenced by Fripp & Eno's "No Pussyfooting" and The Velvet Underground's debut, songwriter & soundscaper David Reilly started musicking in 1977 by creating drones using sellotape on the keys of his dad's Bontempi Organ.
