In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
Customer Review: 7../
A legendary EP to many, and perhaps understandably so when you factor in the immense following the previous album has gained over the years. Released two years later, In a Beautiful Place out in the Country is Michael & Marcus Sandison at their most streamlined and condensed. By getting rid of the shorter tracks they definitely lose something crucial, but it’s quite refreshing to hear an EP this focused yet still managing to contain the magic that gained them their reputation in the first place.
Customer Review: A beautiful place to be
Sometimes overlooked in the BoC canon alongside their flagship full-length albums, this EP is a corker. After the sublime ‘Music Has The Right…’ it took me a little while to give it serious headspace, but it’s really just as good.
One reviewer dismisses closing cut ‘Zoetrope’ as a throwaway, but I’d say it’s the apex of this lovely, lovely little record.
Another BoC high water mark before things slid into predictability with later releases.
