Soul Mining


'Soul Mining' from The The. From 1984. A recent vinyl find for me. A grail!!! I literally was flipping through a bin of new arrivals in an antique store that I frequent. AND THERE IT WAS!!! I almost fell over.

What a great, original name for a band .... The The.

That early to mid 80's, synthesizer driven sound that was trending for a few years. Feels a little like the progressive side for that genre. The songs are a little more quirky, which is part of its fascination.

'This Is the Day' and 'Uncertain Smile' are the highlights.
