The Blue Nile – Peace at last

Without question one of the finest albums of the Nineties, Peace at Last is the third studio album by Scottish band The Blue Nile, released on 10 June 1996 via Warner Bros. Records. Peace at Last was a considerable musical departure for the band, marking a shift towards a more acoustic sound. Unlike their prior two albums A Walk Across the Rooftops and Hats, which featured electronic instrumentation almost exclusively, Peace at Last was primarily driven by Paul Buchanan’s acoustic guitar. A gospel choir made a brief appearance on the lead single, “Happiness“. Such is the case with this album. This is beautiful inspiring music. Paul Buchanan wraps his warm and emotive voice around some lovely melodies. With all of the hideous, garbage that passes for music these days, it’s wonderful to have Bands like these who know how to produce such meaningful and rich beauty. Mint condition.
