Description

Regenerationnbspwas originally released in 2001. Recorded with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, the album was a more stripped back, guitaroriented affair, and a big break with their trademark orchestral sound.nbspThe Observer saidnbspRegeneration marks, for Hannon, a personal and musical breakthrough.nbspTime Out saidnbspHannon has finally created an album as complete and deftly wondrous as you suspected he was capable of every track shines with a love for music.nbspThe Times saidnbspA subtle collection of gorgeous pop songs. Combining the lyrical dexterity of old with some spectacular melodies, this is an album that lives up to the promise of its title.nbspKey tracks from the album include singlesnbspLove What You Do,nbspBad AmbassadornbspandnbspPerfect Lovesong. The CD release consists of 2 discs the original remastered album, with a second CD of bsides, demos and alternate versions lovingly curated by Neil Hannon, much of which has never been heard before.
