Richard Youngs' Sapphie record is beautiful.

Derek · 06.05.2008, 03:34 PM

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

If you haven't heard it then please do.

I can give anyone a megaupload link but it's beauty is enchanted through the format of vinyl.

///

"Sapphie consists of three extended compositions dedicated to the memory of a pet Alsatian (for whom the record is named); using only a nylon-stringed guitar and his amazing vocals, Youngs crafts three gorgeous, desolate and heartbreaking ballads -- throughout almost 40 minutes, the record never ceases to be stunningly beautiful, making an incredibly strong entry into the long line of Scottish singer/songwriters to compose in this intimate, strongly melodic style. Sapphie is, in most respects, the most pop-oriented and traditionally beautiful piece in Youngs' catalog, and should appeal across all genre distinctions as one of the most unceasingly lovely and unflinchingly intimate recordings in a long, long while."

It's a very good headphones album I might add.

Many thanks for the post. I'll try giving this a listen, looks interesting to say the least. I'm also reading this interview...

I only wish I had the funds right now to get this in vinyl format. So, a megaupload link would be very appreciated.

Now you can go listen to it and get back to me with your opinion!

But for now, I think it's time for sleep. : )

Toilet & Bowels · 06.06.2008, 05:24 AM

i've seen him play twice doing a capella folk songs, rubbish!

06.06.2008, 05:29 AM

Shut up.

Glice · 06.06.2008, 05:33 AM

I saw him do a cappela songs as well, and I concur that it was rubbish. He's capable of goodness mind you.

06.06.2008, 05:35 AM

That's hardly the sort of stuff that he's known for. Doo doo doo do do do do do doo doo..........

Toilet & Bowels · 06.06.2008, 05:54 AM

well it seems that's what he wants to be known for now

06.06.2008, 06:01 AM

You'll have to cover your ears, then.
