Search - St Etienne :: Finisterre (Bonus Dvd)

Finisterre was Saint Etienne's 6th studio album and was originally released in 2002. The album was a love/hate letter to London, with its iconic image of the collapsed Ronan Point on the cover, recorded at a time of mass demonstrations against the government and just after folk hero Ken Livingstone had been elected Mayor. Alternately harsh and gentle, electronic and thrumming, it included the nu-disco call-to-arms single Action. The album has been remastered by the band and now comes with a second disc of 17 tracks including 4 preiously unreleased gems such as the near-mythical Dr Who-sampling There There My Brigadier, and a tribute to the mysterious Aqualad who resides under the Thames, waiting for his moment to take the city back from the financiers and to open up the Post Office Tower's revolving restaurant once again. The Deluxe Edition comes in luxurious packaging with an expanded booklet featuring extensive sleevenotes by Jude Rogers.
