{"product_id":"everything-but-the-girl-amplified-heart-deluxe-edition","title":"Everything But The Girl- Amplified Heart - Deluxe Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst released in June 1994, Amplified Heart is the seventh studio album from Everything But The Girl — the best-selling UK duo formed in 1982 by singer-writer-musicians Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt — and arrives in a new 31-track deluxe CD reissue edition featuring additional B-sides and extra tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmplified Heart went on to sell over a million copies and was acclaimed on its release for its candour and affecting intimacy (“The results are, to a song, high quality” MOJO; “Captures expertly the fragmentary confusing nature of emotional ruction” INDEPENDENT; “Their newest album, and possibly their best” NEW YORK TIMES). It also contains the original version of what was to become the band’s biggest hit, Missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Todd Terry's famous house remix took Missing onto the world’s dance floors and global pop charts in 1995 (#2 on US Billboard Hot 100; #1 on US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay; #3 on the UK Top 40; #1 in Canada, Germany and Italy), the original version also remains a timeless classic and one that perhaps better reflects the enduring appeal of the album’s modern-retro hybrid of ardent folk-soul and scratchy electronica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe genesis of Amplified Heart was anything but easy. Written in the aftermath of Watt’s harrowing near-death experience in 1992 from a rare auto-immune disease, the lyrics — written alternately by the duo — are raw unflinching stories of love and isolation in extremity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo anchor the album’s heart, the pair turned in part to folk-rock legends Danny Thompson (double bass), Dave Mattacks (drums), and engineer Jerry Boys (Sandy Denny, REM), but also to electronic producer John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack, Spiritualized) to find the loops and dusty sounds that give the record much of its underlying atmosphere. There are cameo roles from Richard Thompson on electric guitar (25th December) and veteran string arranger Harry Robinson (I Don’t Understand Anything, Two Star).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitchfork awarded the album 8.6 in a 2019 reappraisal, noting the album’s enduring influence on artists that followed such as The xx and Beth Orton, and concluded “The duo’s spare, pensive style never sounded more fully realized than here.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, the tracklist varies slightly from the last deluxe edition in 2013 with a smattering of newly-unearthed live recordings and a previously unreleased remix. The original artwork is newly laid out by John Gilsenan at I Want Design and features full lyrics and credits, and images from the period by fashion and documentary photographer Corinne Day and Richard Haughton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollercoaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroubled Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don’t Understand Anything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking To You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Walk The Same Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 th December\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisenchanted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don’t Understand Anything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollercoaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroubled Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Walk The Same Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Says\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack At Square One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Star (Harry Robinson’s String Arrangement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Back To You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights Of Te Touan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese Days (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach And Every One (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don’t Want To Talk About It (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollercoaster (Toronto, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTroubled Mind (Toronto, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking To You (Toronto, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 th December (Toronto, 1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing (London, 1997)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing (Todd Terry Club Mix, Radio Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing (Ultramarine Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRollercoaster (King Britt Scuba Ambient Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 840401722305\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Chrysalis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47625414443229,"sku":"840401722305","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4496958-3537244.jpg?v=1773726593","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/everything-but-the-girl-amplified-heart-deluxe-edition","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
