James - Laid [FLAC + CUE]

James' 1993 release "Laid," including the hit song of the same name. From the review on allmusic.com (4.5/5 stars): "After having become superstars in the U.K. with songs like 'Sit Down' and then undergone an acoustic American tour opening for Neil Young, James took a consciously quieter, subtler turn with its follow-up to 'Seven,' 'Laid.' This turned out not merely to be a nice way to undercut expectations, but a creative benchmark for the group, arguably its artistic peak. [...] Strong tracks are legion, including 'One of the Three,' allegedly about British hostages in Lebanon but much more accurately a sharp, harrowing meditation on Jesus and apparently meaningless sacrifice, and the low-key beauties of 'Out to Get You' and 'Knuckle Too Far.' But the best punch is right at the end -- the heartbreaking 'Lullaby,' a piano-led sigh of regret and wistful hope, and 'Skindiving,' Booth's near-wordless keen at his most affecting, floating over the low-volume shuffle and bite of the band." Ripped with EAC v0.99 pre-beta, in lossless FLAC format. Tracks: 1. Out to Get You 2. Sometimes (Lester Piggott) 3. Dream Thrum 4. One of the Three 5. Say Something 6. Five-O 7. P.S. 8.

Sorry for the slow uploads, folks. I initial-seeded 5 flac torrents today, and my upload speed is limited to 20 kB/sec (Verizon sucks), divided between all of them. Rest assured, I will remain connected until there are at least a few complete seed copies out there. Help me out by remaining connected for a few hours after your download finishes.

Thanks for seeding. I used to have this album back when it came out, nice to get it again.
