 (2023) The Durutti Column - Time Was GIGANTIC... When We Were Kids (1998, Remastered)  





Review:

…remastered and expanded for this 25th anniversary edition featuring five bonus tracks. Time Was GIGANTIC… When we were kids was first issued 18 years after Reilly’s debut The Return of The Durutti Column (1980) and is considered a swansong for his peerless early run of recordings and the Factory Records label at large. The album depicts Reilly as porous as ever to broad influences from Indian and ambient musics and shaping them into broadly appealing, sophisticated meld of folk, country, classical and pop musics. It depicts the guitarist regularly hailed among “the best in the world” by likes of Brian Eno, John Frusciante, The Avalanches, The Chromatics, Johnny Marr, and John Cooper Clarke, at a late mid-period crest of his powers twirling lyrically tongue-tip electric guitar top lines layered with tabla, synths and Eley Rudge’s vocal counterpoints in the lushest, timeless style. This 2023 edition features the original 11 songs, including highlights in the billowing ambient-pop of ‘Organ Donor’, the college radio friendly jangle of ‘I B Yours’, his heart-in-mouth beauty ’Twenty Trees’, and the lovely kids choir accompaniment of ‘Highfield Choir’ augmented by no fewer than five bonus songs, It’s Your Life, Babe, Kiss of Def, In the City, New Order Tribute, Drinking Song. — boomkat.com
