{"product_id":"regeneration-1","title":"Regeneration","description":"Personnel: Neil Hannon (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Bryan Mills, Ivor Talbot (guitar, bass); Philip Sheppard (cello); Millennia Strings, London Telefilmonic Orchestra (strings); Joby Talbot (recorder, piano, synthesizer); Stuart \"Pinkie\" Bates (trombone, organ, synthesizer); Rob Farrer (drums, percussion); Miggy Barradas (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at RAK, London, England.\u003cbr\u003eThough Neil Hannon's wise and wordy songs and Brian Ferry-like croon have always been at the heart of the Divine Comedy's sound, REGENERATION places Hannon's smart songwriting in focus to a greater degree than ever before. With Nigel Godrich manning the boards, it's not surprising that there's a tinge of Radiohead in the air, but the dominant approach is one of moody, elegant backing under Hannon's stinging sarcasm-filled lyrics. The opener \"Timestretched\" finds the neo-dandy Hannon exploring a neon-tinted prison of his own making. \"The Beauty Regime\" is an attack on surface-oriented value systems. \"Bad Ambassador\" is likely one of the finest tracks the Divine Comedy will ever record; a pumping, visceral anthem of an admittedly imperfect suitor whose ambitions overtake his abilities. Like Hannon, the tune is equal parts wit, infectious melody, and painstakingly uncovered heart.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41948212592805,"sku":"5024545891416","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/de035e93d17ed68aee7472d932a9fb7d.jpg?v=1777618085","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-fr\/products\/regeneration-1","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
