The Blue Nile March 2, 2007

For over twenty five years and through four magical records, the tale of The Blue Nile has wound inexorably through the highest acclaim and the gravest misfortune, past record company ineptitude and personal disasters, taking in Top 20 albums and winning a fanatical word-of-mouth fanbase along the way. Few people own just one Blue Nile album - generally you will either own them all and still play them on a regular basis or have n ever heard of The Blue Nile. Their music has been described as "ambient folk", "electronic pop" and "4am songs", none of which truly gets near what The Blue Nile are about. Essentially, The Blue Nile create songs about the day to day life of pretty much everyone who has ever been in love or who has ever looked out at the rain on a cold winter day or who has ever struggled to work on a bus which gets stuck in traffic, and they sprinkle each song with something special that lifts it out of the ordinary. Paul Buchanan, Robert Bell and Paul Joseph Moore will perform selections from their recent effort, 'High,' along with songs from their previous albums 'A Walk Across the Rooftops,' 'Hats' and 'Peace at Last.'
