Friday's Forgotten classic - 20th August 2010


This week's classic is the debut album by Bristol duo Day One.  Phelim Byrne and Matthew Hardwidge got together in the late 90s, releasing 'Ordinary Man' in 2000 to critical acclaim, if not mainstream success.  Their ambient electronic indie trip-hop style is distinctive and refreshing even now.  The laidback storytelling of the  lyrics and in particular the title track provides a fragile, tender melancholy ode to love and longing.

Waiting for my break - Day One
I'm doing fine - Day One
Ordinary Man - Day One
