The Fireman

I got this disc years ago when someone brought it into the second hand shop I was working at. The main reason it caught my attention was the picture of an incredibly sexy and busty girl hiding in the tray under the cd. Yes, that alone was enough to make me check out te disc. It's always been a great melodic/ambient kind of background thing to throw on. Dreamy without becoming easy listening, and ambient without becoming boring. A very lovely little thing, at times reminiscent of Ry Cooder, Nels Cline and Rachel's... which is to say good.

Now as I was getting ready to post it I decided to find out more about it, I just hadn't bothered really. Turns out it was a collab between Youth (Killing Joke) and Paul McCartney (yep, that guy). It's been out for 10 years, it's probably the best thing he's done in at least 20.
