Lost (thematic album)

#1 Post by telys »

I tried to make a new double album out of Super given that we now have four more tracks (Lost) to add to the 12 album tracks and the six b-sides. But I just felt there would be too many tracks, short ones, a true double album should have fewer but longer tracks.
So I thought of making a Lost 2016 thematic album. 10 tracks, quite political and with lots of references to literature, Britain, Central Europe and Eastern Europe. 38 and a half minute long. A worthy companion to Super. If it had been 1992, they could've done a Springsteen and released both of them at the same time.

The running order doesn’t sit right, but as an idea it’s great 👍

Love this idea. I would drop 'The White Dress' for 'Living in the Past' though.

I'd sequence it as:

Side A
01 Brick England
02 I Will Fall
03 In Bits
04 Skeletons in the Closet
05 Living in the Past

Side B
01 A Cloud in a Box
02 Kaputnik
03 The Dead Can Dance
04 The Lost Room
05 Wiedersehen

I'd love to have LITP on there as well but then it wouldn't be a 2016 album.
