2017 release. This project from two-thirds of Saint Etienne is a collection of English music that represented the transition from psychedelia to prog as the '60s moved into the '70s. Most of it is not an easy listen, but it's always interesting, melodic, melancholy, with jazz and folk touches. While America may have licked it's wounds at the turn of the '70s by turning to singer/songwriters, purveyors of homilies like "teach your children well", Britain wasn't so ready to give up the trappings of psychedelia. And while the UK counterculture may have shed it's "faith in something bigger", it wasn't about to chuck out the mellotron. This is how the day after the '60s felt: damp, fuzzy-headed, neither optimistic nor pessimistic but more than a little lost. British bands would mirror the ennui of the new decade with a new kind of music.
"English Weather" is a captivating CD compilation curated by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, renowned members of the band Saint Etienne. Released by Ace Records, this collection takes listeners on a journey through the atmospheric and evocative sounds that define the unique mood of English pop from the late 1960s to early 1970s. The selection features rare gems and cult classics from artists who captured the melancholic yet melodic essence of British music during an era marked by both optimism and introspection. With its seamless blend of folk, soft rock, baroque pop, and gentle psychedelia, "English Weather" paints an audio portrait reminiscent of misty mornings and rainy afternoons in England. Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs are celebrated for their deep knowledge of musical history as well as their own success with Saint Etienne?a group known for blending indie pop with dance music influences since the early 1990s. Their curatorial expertise shines throughout this compilation. Ace Records stands out as one of Britain?s most respected independent labels, specializing in high-quality reissues across genres such as soul, jazz, blues, rock ?n? roll, funk, country?and more recently?curated compilations like "English Weather." Since its founding in 1978, Ace has built a reputation for meticulous research and lovingly crafted releases that appeal to collectors and newcomers alike.
