The first album from Blur in twelve years, born from a chance cancellation of a gig back in 2013, much to the disappointment of fans at the time but to their unbridled bouncy joy today. Initially conceived in Hong Kong, during downtime following a cancelled show in Japan, the band spent five days laying down ideas. The album will connect to everyone in a different way, but it sounded like Broken Bell's outer space sound, combined with Damon's Britpop flavor, and a lot more electronic sounds you've heard with other Blur works.

We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres.

Thankfully, this is the first album released this year that has left me simultaneously pleasantly relaxed and upbeat.

In November 2014, Coxon received Albarn’s approval to work further on the recordings with producer Stephen Street, while Albarn was touring his solo album, Everyday Robots. The band consists of singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree.

However, the entire festival was cancelled for unknown reasons, leaving the band stranded in Hong Kong for an extra 5 days. com (also known as Esprit) has been the world's biggest and best seller of premium quality and top condition rare and vintage vinyl records, rare CD's and music memorabilia since 1985 - that's 39 years!
