The Delgados - BBCsessions flac album

The Delgados ‎– BBCsessions. Label: Strange Fruit ‎– SFRSCD037. Lyrics By, Music By – The Delgados (tracks: 1 to 3, 5 to 11). Notes. By arrangement with BBC Worldwide Music.

The Delgados’ next album, 2000’s Dave Fridmann-produced The Great Eastern, was arguably their greatest, so it’s somewhat disappointing that it’s only represented by a single four-song session (though the versions of No Danger and Aye Today prove those songs don’t need Fridmann’s Bonham-esque bombast to connect). The Delgados would continue on the orchestro-rock trajectory with 2002’s Hate before scaling back for 2004’s uneven Universal Audio, but the second disc here bears little evidence of these developments. Though The Complete BBC Sessions is not a definitive Delgados collection- there’s no Monica Webster or Akumulator or American Trilogy or All You Need Is Hate - it stands as a lovingly compiled tribute to two greatly admired and greatly missed UK pop institutions.

The Delgados' Complete BBC Peel Sessions is a fascinating look at one of the more easy to underrate indie rock bands of the late '90s/early 2000s - easy because everything they did was so consistently good. There was never a shocking development to force uninitiated listeners to sit up and take notice, and never a defining moment - just the kind of steady near-brilliance that is often overshadowed by blinding flashes of hype. On their first two sessions (from 1995 and 1996), they were a jagged, jangling, high-energy indie rock group with strong hooks - sort of like a Technicolor Wedding Present.

The Delgados were a Scottish indie rock band from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire. The band was composed of Alun Woodward (vocals, guitar), Emma Pollock (vocals, guitar), Stewart Henderson (bass), and Paul Savage (drums). The band was formed after friends Woodward, Henderson and Savage were ejected from the band Bubblegum. Joined by Savage's then-girlfriend Pollock, the band named themselves after Tour de France winning cyclist, Pedro Delgado.
