Since I've been on a Lightning Seeds kick, I went ahead and ordered The Very Best Of, a compilation of their work through the years. I really like the music on there and I would definitely recommend the compilation. The song selection isn't everything you'd ever want by them, but it's most of it.
Tracks:
1. Lucky You
2. The Life of Riley
3. Change
4. Feeling Lazy
5. Life's Too Short
6. Pure
7. Song for No One
8. You Showed Me
9. Be My Baby
10. Sugar Coated Iceberg
11. Ready or Not
12. Lucifer Sam
13. What If...
14. If Only
15. Perfect
16. What You Say
17. Tables Have Turned
18. Sense
19. Marvellous
20. Three Lions '98

Sense (The Lightning Seeds)
The Lightning Seeds' 1992 album Sense spawned the hit single "The Life of Riley." While I knew the title, I had not heard the song before. I was not even familiar with any of the other titles on this disc prior to listening. However, I was willing to take a chance on this album thanks to my recent infatuation with the song "Pure."
When I first heard "Pure," my thoughts were that it sounded like New Order being sung by Pet Shop Boys. For me, this was awesome, because I love both. This isn't an original comparison, however, as others have used similar ones to criticize The Lightning Seeds. Oh well.
Anyway, Sense is a solid album filled with more tunes in a similar vein. Standout tracks for me include the title track, "The Life of Riley," "A Cool Place," "Happy," and "Tingle Tangle."
Track listing:
1. Sense
2. The Life of Riley
3. Blowing Bubbles
4. A Cool Place
5. Where Flowers Fade
6. A Small Slice of Heaven
7. Tingle Tangle
8. Happy
9. Marooned
10. Thinking Up Looking Down

Song of the Day: "Pure"
ARTIST: The Lightning Seeds
TITLE: "Pure"
YEAR: 1990
"Pure" is an amazing song. It was a fairly big alternative hit when it came out, and it even managed to cross over to some degree. I guess occasionally even the U.S. gets it right. Such a great song. I missed this song when it was popular, but I've recently discovered it and am spinning it like crazy to make up for lost time.
You can hear the song here. It's available for purchase on such CDs as Cloudcuckooland and Like You Do...Best of the Lightning Seeds.
