Review by Josie Florence

Open's album Statues is a magnificent piece of work that showcases the band's immense talent and creativity. The album features a perfect blend of electronic and rock music, which creates an immersive experience for the listeners.

The album's opening track, "Statues," sets the tone for the entire album, with its hauntingly beautiful melody and thought-provoking lyrics. The band's use of electronic beats and guitar riffs in "Diamonds" creates a unique sound that is both catchy and mesmerizing.

The album's standout track, "Breathe," is a masterpiece that showcases the band's ability to create music that is both emotionally powerful and sonically beautiful. The song's soaring chorus and intricate instrumentation make it a standout track that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any listener.

Can you please put up both albums and the b-sides if you have them. Love the two amazing albums that this band "The Open," produced.

The Open were one of the best bands of their time and how they didn't make it is beyond me. I did speak to one of the members who said basically that certain band members just couldn't get on. He the drummer then sent me some CD's of the bands albums and b-sides but some of the stuff didn't apear on the CDs. I also communicated with the lead singer Steve Bailey who bought out some super solo songs but because he's not as relevent today the songs didn't make a big splash in the pond.

Can't believe I found it. Remembered that song from Hollyoaks but was never able to track it down. Long live the Shazam app!
Thank you so much for uploading - danke für's Hochladen :-)
