ST ETIENNE Finisterre (2010 UK Deluxe Edition digitally
remastered 2-CD album set - Originally released in 2002,
'Finisterre' was a love/hate letter to London, with its iconic
image of the collapsed Ronan Point on the cover, recorded at
a timeof mass demonstrations against the government and
just after folk hero Ken Livingstone had been elected Mayor.
Alternately harsh and gentle, electronic and thrumming, it
included the nu-disco call-to-arms single 'Action'. This 2010
edition comprises the 12-track CD album plus a Bonus
17-track CD including four previously unreleased gems
such as the near-mythical Dr Who-sampling 'There There My
Brigadier', and a tribute to the mysterious 'Aqualad' who
resides under the Thames, waiting for his moment to take the
city back from the financiers and to open up the Post Office
Tower's revolving restaurant once again. Sealed from new in
a custom stickered slipcase)
