Blur or Oasis? 1996 Blur and Oasis compete for the favor of the fans and the no. 1 on the charts. Blur finally win the race for singles, Oasis have in longplayers ahead. But that does not answer the questions that arise inevitably when you hear this record: What is a Quango? And who is this Mrs. Robinson? About - Mrs. Robinson? The band remains on THE GREAT ESCAPE her penchant for bizarre true. Even otherwise little, the "Great Escape" remains changes made. The band that their time was otherwise far ahead and has set new standards in terms of musical innovation not only in the British Isles, sounds on the disk suspect often similar to its predecessor, the Britpop milestone PARKLIFE. Blur have also received their endearing little quirks. "Ernold same" with "lalalala" singing background choirs and angelic vocals Damon Albarn softened the heart of every mother. Wild tempo and style changes, razor-sharp synth sounds to driving basslines and British boyish charm, all the lifts The Great Escape from the countless Britpop bands, shoot the mid-90s as mushrooming. What sounds so cute and harmless, is a billing Blurs with the way of life of their fellow countrymen, with Stereotypes and the petty-bourgeois life in the suburbs, with pleasure-seeking and state thinking. THE GREAT ESCAPE may perhaps be no guide to the future of music, a great record of the time it is all. (This is an Amazon.com at the university-student review.)
