I find it hard to imagine jogging to any song apart from "Downtown Lights" but more power to you!

this such a great comedown album

i wish there was a 12 min long mix of “saturday night”
the final two minutes of "headlights on the parade" rivals anything on this album for me

this has become one of those albums I don't actually have to listen to to get killed by it, I just have to think about it

I tend to want more "From a Late Night Train" and "Family Life" from this band rather than the usual lite funk, though I guess one of the things that makes those tracks special is that they are uniquely spare.

Caution: challops ahead.
"I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner would make a pretty good Blue Nile song.

even if you stripped it down enough i don't think it'd be restrained enough

I can hear it but lyrically no.

Whenever I listen to Hats it's the album plus "Saturday Night" two more times

^^ had a surreal moment when that came on the radio in a cafe near Sagrada Familia while the sun was setting circa 1999. looking at Gaudi's architecture bathed in a golden glow while this unfamiliar slooooow version of a familiar song played, it felt like my brain was melting.(being slightly tipsy didn't help.)

Is that a marimba? For someone who nails the late night lethargy of the song, adding that is like throwing in slide whistle or a saw. It's a 10, but ...

an aside: atmospheric slide whistle new fav micro-genre

"it's the poor man's pedal steel"
sorry. as you were.
but yeah, didn't know about this cover. pretty reminiscent of his classic sidelong makeovers of burt bacharach.
ofc i had to look it up and it originates as a b side from a uk only single. nice.
