Second Coming

Product Information

This guitar-led formula dominates the album, yet it only throws up one song that reaches the heights of their first: the masterful Love Spreads. There are good moments dotted throughout, the languid roll of Daybreak and the pure energy of Begging You in particular, but whereas their early days were marked by an optimism and ambition that captured the hearts of a generation, this is an altogether darker and more aggressive beast.

consideration of this band, this career, this album. They - and it - may not be conclusively great; it (and they) resists any kind of empirical analysis and can't be conclusively proven to have succeeded (or indeed to have failed). But throughout this remarkable record, if we can strip away the detritus of preconceptions, the weight of history and expectation, and hear it for what it is, we can clearly hear four people trying to hit the heights, and, in reaching if not quite ever fully grasping hold of what a b c Roberts, David, ed.

New Musical Express. 15 April 2009. Reni's got a Gretsch kit. I used an AKG D112 and a Neumann U47 FET on the bass drum, an SM57 for the snare, and an AKG 452 for the hi‑hat. The toms were all miked with Sennheiser 421s. The whole thing was a pretty standard setup really — I normally find you get pretty good results from it. We did try the odd experiment — we had an acoustic tunnel on the bass drum for some of the time, but we liked the live sound, so most of the time we didn't use it. I put a stereo mic, a Telefunken SM2 valve mic, in the corridor outside the studio to give the sound some ambience, too. The overhead mics on the kit were Neumann 56 valve mics — I think they're the best‑sounding ones for overheads, really good. I also had a pair of Neumann U87s in the room as well. We wanted the kit to sound like a real, live kit in a funky‑sounding room — just like it was, basically!" I'm not particularly interested in rehashing or re-examining the path Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani, Reni and the retinue of producers and other creative or business associates took to get to Second Coming. I don't really see much point in attempting to re-tell the story of its elephantine gestation and the many pitfalls the band tried, at first failed, then eventually managed to overcome on the way to getting the damn thing finished. What interested me at the time, and continues to captivate me now, is the record itself: not the stories that swirled behind, aroundSeeking experience, Simon got a job with a local PA company when he left school, and, through this position, progressed to handling live PA sound for Birmingham‑based reggae bands on European tours. Outgrowing the local firm, he started work with a London‑based PA company in the early '80s. "I toured around Europe, America, Africa and Japan with that company, first doing festivals, and then some of their larger people — Ozzy Ozbourne and The Stranglers. I finished in '87 — the last band I did were T'Pau, in America." The first bit of detritus we need to clear away is the notion that, by 1994, the band that made The Stone Roses still existed in anything but corporeal form. True, these were the same four individuals, but the music they wanted to make had changed beyond all recognition. The
