Eclipse shows how versatile Robyn is as an artist, it's a moving album track. The singles were great from this album.

 

Agreed. Very different type of track from her there. Sounded very nice.

Fab album, really enjoyed that. I'd forgotten that it kind of drifts off towards the end after Who's That Girl, but I really love Eclipse and like Should Have Known from that back section.

 

The first eight tracks are a masterclass in great pop music.

I've gone for the classic With Every Heartbeat as my favourite with Any Time You Like comfortably the weakest offering.

 

So many highlights though, and I enjoyed hearing Eclipse too.

Did fall off in those last few didn't it lol.

 

 

I mentioned it during the session but this was how Bum Like You originally sounded. I think I still prefer this version as I got used to it first, but it's so different to the version on the UK album.

Top 8 are all really strong, next two are decent, 11 is okay as is both intervals but not counting those lol. JYO is as it says on the tin but it's at least got some humorous charm unlike 'Any Time You Like' which is a easy last.. that's very bland.

 

This is receiving it's 20th Anniversary re-issue on Coke Bottle Clear vinyl later this year (anniversary of it's original date release in Sweden & Norway NOT international markets which was 2007!)

Great that it's got the 2007 tracks though, including Dream On

Urgh Coke bottle clear, up there with ‘milky clear’ as being my least liked vinyl colour.

Guess they couldn’t do the obvious red again after it was used for the RSD edition
