That's me (at 5.11) in Steve Nieve's video
The video seems to be a work in progress, featuring a loop of a extract from the song.I love Steve but that song is... not... good.
Figured as much. I don't know how I feel about the song, based on the extract we've heard, but perhaps I should wait until I hear the whole thing. It just seems a little too... power-metal for my tastes. Still, I'm excited about the release of this album. Steve can write some beautiful melodies.johnfoyle wrote:The video seems to be a work in progress, featuring a loop of a extract from the song.I love Steve but that song is... not... good.

They chose an unusual trio of LPs to represent "some of Costello's most influential influential albums of the era."
They should replace B&C and GCW with, I don't know, maybe Armed Forces and Imperial Bedroom.As the original keyboardist for Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Steve Nieve is no stranger to working with top talent. A Royal College Of Music student, Nieve was an integral part of The Attractions, playing on some of Costello's most influential albums of the era including This Year's Model, Blood And Chocolate, and Goodbye Cruel World. In the years since, he has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and racked up more than 6 solo albums. For ToGetHer, Nieve recruited friends like Costello, Sting, Vanessa Paradis, Laurie Anderson, Ron Sexsmith and many more to duet on an album of all original, inventive material.

Checked out the clips. No disrespect to a keyboard genius, but it mostly sounds pretty dire to me. The dated power pop 80s sound of much of it is v off-putting. Sting sounds awful and his son not much better (you can hear the genetic imprint). Elvis fine, Laurie OK, Ron good, always nice to hear Robert Wyatt, even in French, but overall, this is one CD I can happily not feel I have to buy!
