This week we’re going #Underground
Julian Cope, "My Nation Underground” (1988)
After the breakup of his band The Teardrop Explodes in 1982, Julian Cope embarked on a prolific solo career, making sharp, intelligent, but catchy pop music. Here we have his fourth full-length solo release, the one that finally caught my attention, having lost track of him while following his still-active kindred Liverpudlians, Echo & The Bunnymen.
The track on My Nation Underground that got radio play was “Charlotte Anne” with a slow, almost martial beat, and featuring what might be a penny whistle - not the usual stuff of a radio hit. The album’s opening track, a cover of “5 O’Clock World,” a song made famous by The Vogues in the 60s, didn’t go far commercially as a single despite being given a crisp modern sound.
The title track featured here wields horn section blasts, densely layered vocals, pounding drums, appearances by harmonica and strings, yet still maintains a feeling of space in its expansiveness.

This is a reissue of the 1980 release with a totally different cover. Never got to see these live although I have seen Julian Cope quite a few times, the last time was just before lockdown in February 2020 (photo attached from the gig).

Andi ChorleyMad Shadows was the second album by Mott the Hoople. It was recorded in 1970 and released in the UK on Island Records in September 1970...
Julian Cope wrote on Head Heritage:
"This huge emotional reverberator drop kicks into life with the frantic five minutes of “Thunderbuck Ram”, in which Mick Ralphs’ raucous guitar riffs ring out across a Cheddar Gorge of chasmic reverb. The proto-Paranoid riff propells them all into the chorus with such venom that Guy Stevens’ record-this-live-at-all-costs mode is immediately confronted and challenged head-on by huge glaring errors, as minors and majors clash and buzz. Yet the song thunders on relentlessly, until the tail-out becomes a huge one chord burn-out and the first of Ian Hunter’s Velvets-meets-Jerry Lee Lewis high velocity piano attacks kicks in like cooking amphetamines into a hot curry."
