What you say No-one has reviewed Farewell Sorrow by Alasdair Roberts yet. Give us your opinion on Farewell Sorrow by Alasdair Roberts. What we say This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic. I'd probably say that I was Alasdair Roberts number one fan. I mean with no disrespect to anyone else who adores his music I'd like to put myself forward for the position (if he wants a number one fan that is otherwise I'll keep my distance). Anyway he has a new album out on Rough Trade (hoping for a post James Yorkston cash in?). I really love this stuff though I always prefer his music when its stripped down and minimal. Theres plenty of instrumentation on show here which threatens to bog the album down half way through but Alasdair like the trooper he is manages to pull through. Fans of the Appendix Out albums are gonna love this but if you've ever had your heart tweaked by Bonnie Prince Billy or James Yorkston then you are gonna love this too. Farewell Sorrow is well worth checking out!!

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
