Description

Two CD collection. The proverbial musical chameleon, Duncan Browne recorded the post-psych chamber pop classic Give Me, Take You album in 1968 before re- emerging four years later with the introspective singer/songwriter hit single 'Journey'.. By the mid-1970s, he had signed to the Transatlantic label as a member of Euro art rock sophisticates Metro, a trio whose calling card, 'Criminal World', was covered by David Bowie on his 1983 album Let's Dance, which went on to sell over ten million copies. Leaving Metro after their debut album, Duncan resumed his solo career, recording two highly-regarded late 1970s albums for Transatlantic (by now re-branded Logo), with The Wild Places and it's title track single both reaching the Top Ten in one or two European territories. This anthology covers his time with Transatlantic/Logo, both with Metro and as a solo performer. It includes the long-lost late 1979 recording 'China Girl' (no relation to the Bowie/Iggy Pop song), which now gains it's first-ever release in any format.

    • Great memories and still sounds great!
I owned all 3 albums that comprise this collection way back in the day when vinyl was the main format. All these years later I've long lost all of my records and was excited to see these albums reissued as a 2-CD set. But ... would it still sound as good as it did all those years ago? Well, I'm happy to say that it does. These songs haven't aged a bit, and I'd go as far to say that it all sounds even better a few decades later. Duncan Browne was truly a special artist, perhaps ahead of his time, or just not fortunate enough to be on a label that knew what to do with him. Then again, these songs don't shout "Top 40 hit" , so maybe that's why they still sound so good. For reference to those who haven't heard Duncan Browne before, I'd compare his sound --- very roughly --- to a mixture of David Bowie, John Martyn, and Nick Drake, with a dash of early Al Stewart thrown in for good measure. The songs range from mellow gems to more rhythmic and atmospheric fare. And it all flows so very, very well. take a trip to the "Wild Places" and other exotic destinations with Duncan Browne. You will be rewarded. ... show more

    • Satisfactorily mastered
Bought this solely to replace my original vinyl copy of The Wild Places which I had bought upon its first release decades ago. Then too, I was always curious about his other projects. How nice to (presumably) have his nearest previous and nearest subsequent album included here in one package. China Girl is also quite an unexpected treasure. I was expecting a somewhat unsatisfying master due to another review, and I certainly hate brick-walling (or any compression at all) as much as the next guy, but I found it to have plenty of dynamic range, more clarity, and even improved equalization (subharmonic frequencies as well through my DBX 500 Subharmonic Synthesizer) than my old LP.. ... show more

    • GET IT NOW WHILE ITs STILL AVAILABLE!
ONE OF THE UKs BEST KEPT SECRETS... Three magnificent albums on two cds, timeless stuff. This music is still vibrant, fresh and relevant today as it was back then. Top-notch songwriting and musicianship. ESSENTIAL!

    • Excellent retrospective
I've been a Duncan Browne fan since the Metro album first came out. I thought it was amazing but considering the musical trends at the time it was not nearly as successful as it should have been. It's great to have all of his output from this period in a single set. It's a shame he didn't receive more accolades when he was alive. Now if someone would only release Metro's second and third albums on CD. They suffer slightly from Browne's absence but there is still some great music on them. ... show more

I've been looking for these songs for the last 30 years on CD. The sheer joy of hearing Browne with the "tight as a shrew's arse" backing of Giblin and Phillips again has had me playing this CD over and over. If you have a scratched copy of Duncan Browne's vinyl offerings, this is well worth the money to hear them fresh all over again. ... show more

    • Duncan Browne 'Planet Earth: The Transatlantic/Logo Years 1976-79'
A very welcome release compiling all of Duncan Browne's recordings for the Transatlantic label between 1976 & 1979 (including the album he made with Peter Godwin and Sean Lyons as Metro). I already owned all of his albums on CD but the pre-release blurb spoke of an unreleased track by the name of 'China Girl' being included. Consequently I had to have it, Duncan Browne was one of the finest singer / songwriters that Britain ever produced and a truly great instrumentalist (check out the fantastic Mark Knopfler influenced guitar solo on the track 'Fauvette' or the exquisitely jazzy 'Streets of Fire') His name should be spoken in the same breath as the likes of Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, John Martyn etc. He was seriously gifted and I wish he was still with us making his fine music, it was only a matter of time before his talent got the recognition it deserved. So you can gather from this that I am something of a fan, so imagine my delight when I discovered that there was in fact not one, but two unreleased tracks. 'China Girl' turns out to be a much better and more finished sounding recording of 'No Name Girl' that appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese release of the posthumously released 'Songs of Love and War' album. Also included as a bonus on that album was a track called 'The Toys' and likewise, the version on this new compilation is also different and much better. As for the rest it sounds great. Maybe a little more bassy than the previous releases of these albums but none the worse for that. So in conclusion you get the aforementioned eponymous Metro album, Duncan's own albums 'The Wild Places' and 'Streets Of Fire' (both featuring fantastic support from Simon Phillips and John Giblin on drums and bass respectively, surely one of the great rhythm sections). Also included are the various single edits from this very fruitful period in Duncan Browne's career. The accompanying booklet has scans of the cover art of all of the original releases along with excellent notes. When the two solo albums were originally released I was working in a record shop and it was amazing how many times I would play them with the result that whoever was browsing in the shop at the time would walk out with a copy of one or both under their arm. They still sound great today. ... show more
