Duncan Browne - The Wild Places (Expanded Edition) '1978

Tracks list

       Following his stint in the group Metro with Sean Lyons and Peter Godwin,
Duncan Browne turned up in 1978 with his first solo album since the dawn of the
'70s. The Wild Places isn't much like his Immediate album Give Me, Take You --
indeed, it's more like a lost Roxy Music album, or perhaps a lost Bryan Ferry
record. It's electric, and the music has a sense of drama as well as beautiful
melodies that were even better realized, with lush contributions on the
synthesizer and related keyboards by Tony Hymas and a fierce guitar sound
courtesy of Browne himself, aided by the upfront presence of John Giblin and
Simon Phillips on bass and drums, respectively. The music runs the gamut from
edgy progressive rock to straight-ahead rock & roll (the latter highlighted by
"The Crash"), though Browne was at the top of his game, as both a singer and
composer, working in an introspective, romantic vein, as on the killer title cut
and numbers like "Roman Vecu" and "Kisarazu." Long out of print in the United
States, The Wild Places was reissued on CD during late 2000 in Japan.
