Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback flac album

Jordan: The Comeback is the fifth studio album by English pop band Prefab Sprout. It was released by Kitchenware Records on 7 September 1990. It peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart. Additionally, Jordan: The EP peaked at No. 35 on the UK Singles Chart.

Jordan: The Comeback is Prefab Sprout's largely successful attempt to embrace the breadth of popular music; wisely reuniting with producer Thomas Dolby, Paddy McAloon freely indulges his myriad ambitions and obsessions to weave a dense, finely textured tapestry closer in spirit and construction to a lavish Broadway musical than to the conventional rock concept LP. Over the course of no less than 19 tracks, McAloon chases his twin preoccupations of religion and celebrity, creating a loose thematic canvas perfect for his expanding musical palette; quickly dispensing with common pop idioms,.

I've been a long time Prefab Sprout fan, ever since I first heard their fantastic Steve McQueen album, which at the time was about all I listened to for several months. I'm also very fond of their next releases "From Langley Park To Memphis" and "Protest Songs", and I still do enjoy playing these records from time to time. As I did some reading on the net I was quite surprised to see so many Sprout fans raving about this "Jordan, The Comeback" album, which I honestly didn't know anything about.

Jordan: The Comeback is the fifth album by Prefab Sprout, released in August 1990. The album showed Prefab Sprout continuing their musical evolution from the prickly jangle guitars of Swoon, their debut. The use of synths is more prominent, lending the album a poppier feel, and Paddy McAloon explores other genres on some songs, from samba to doo-wop.
