Blur Girls and Boys (2012 Remaster) thus begins the dance for an epoch-making album, written and recorded during their toughest time, after the failure of the previous masterpiece and the EP "Popscene," and after a devastating tour in America vividly represented in the documentary "Starshaped." They bring forth one of the key albums of the entire 90s and the most important British album of the 90s. Talking Heads, Devo, Kinks, Buzzcocks, Bowie, Smiths, Jam blended together with that distinct spark, that lucid madness that has always characterized them. However, it is all much richer and more elaborate than anything they had done before; the composition reaches stunning levels, and throughout the album, they merrily hop from one genre to another, as if it were the simplest and most natural thing in the world, and moreover with the gift of conciseness. Eclectic, incredibly inspired. A milestone. And we are in '94: it also represents a significant musical/cultural shift: the spotlight moves from Seattle to London. It will be their first number one, even dethroning The Division Bell by Pink Floyd #blur30
