The Blue Nile Artist Snapshot:

Scottish pop trio the Blue Nile's 1984 debut, A WALK ACROSS THE ROOFTOPS, was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the '80s. The spare, sophisticated sound was centered on the emotion-filled voice of leader Paul Buchanan, whose poignant, unsettling songs of love and loss make all the Blue Nile's albums compelling listening.

Uncut (3/00, p.94) - "...The Blue Nile are eclectic mood magicians....The classic Blue Nile album..."
Stereo Review - Performance "Hyper-romantic" / Recording "Very good"
Reflex - "Sparse edgless atmospheric music...romantic lyrics"

Title Note

Finding a category into which the critics can slot them has been a problem for this excellent Scottish band. File under 'very good quality pop' no longer exists on the record label. For the uninitiated, they have the soulful, wandering nature of John Martyn, mixed with some anthemic U2, plus a tolerable dose of Deacon Blue/Simply Red. A strong synthesizer backdrop may deter, but the lush arrangements are truly lovely. Paul Buchanan has an emotive voice that is well suited to his melancholic material. Three albums in nearly 15 years is hardly prolific, but they are critically acclaimed and quality is always better than quantity.
