REM / Green
The 1988 album that saw R.E.M. transition out of being an oddball concern traipsing around the US college circuit and decisively embark upon the path that would eventually lead to them becoming one of the biggest bands in the world. ‘Losing My Religion’ and ‘Everybody Hurts’ were yet to come, but with Green’s singles ‘Stand’ and ‘Orange Crush’, the band already had a couple of formidable heavy-hitters that became huge radio hits. The album’s concise, muscular songwriting and shiny (happy) production – you can actually hear what Michael Stipe is singing now! – makes for a bright, sunny listen that’s the perfect soundtrack for a Sunday afternoon in spring.
The album playback will be followed by a Q&A session.
After a short break, we'll follow the album with our usual ‘Dead Wax’ session. Bring along a vinyl disc of your choice and hear a track from it played through the Arts Centre PA. This can be anything you like, for any reason – the more ‘out there’ the better.
