Day 135 The The "Uncertain Smile"

'Soul Mining' is an incredibly bleak record, full of self loathing and pummelling drum machine rhythms (and an accordian.) So it perfectly suited my mood when I discovered it at the age of 15. It's certainly not adolescent, though, in fact its world-weariness is probably why it's aged so well.

on a side note, it's difficult to believe that the person behind the amazing piano solo on this is professional irritant Jools Holland.
