"Modern Blues" offers musically and lyrically structures that would redound to the glory of a Mark Knopfler and can be a Bob Dylan pale himself. Mastermind and singer Mike Scott is not only vocally own character, but funnily enough, a timbre that is reminiscent of Alice Cooper here and there! I find very casual!
The songs are of a class that can stand a first with my mouth open. Their absolute super quality you realized until really after was allowed to run through the album several times. It is an absolute stroke of genius! Terrific !!
