Destination Dusseldorf

Product Information

Destination Düsseldorf may not have the youthful explosion of ideas of Scared To Dance or the strength of concept and production of its two successors, but the obvious vitality, enthusiasm and lack of pretension makes this a more than worthwhile addition to the Skids collection in its own right. Here We Go, How To Be Free and Wings Of Desire follow in similar anthemic fashion before Things We’ve Seen, a haunting and atmospheric trek across Europe full of nostalgia and regret, brings things to a close. One of the first bands to tear up the basic punk template and take things in completely different directions, they produced three outstanding albums and a string of memorable singles (including the mighty Into The Valley) prior to Adamson’s departure in 1981 to form the massively successful Big Country.

I can't believe Jobson is so up himself that he can't see how funny all this is but the air is thinner up in the sky like a bird flying (etc, etc. Probably straight up as he believes we can fly and oh, there you are up in the sky just like a bird flying so high while lives are broken on the ground while walls come tumbling down and the world keeps spinning cos nothing ain't easy or for free. All purchases of either the LP or CD will receive a free DL which includes the track "Greatest Prize".Collaborating with incredible artists like Youth, Hugh Cornwall and Martin Metcalfe - all fans of the band.

The more rocking, more complex, more punky "Wings Of Desire" that follows is another cracker and one I want to see live when the Skids support From The Jam later this year; and at about this point on this my third or fourth listening I'm changing my original opinion that "Destination Dusseldorf" isn't as good as "Burning Cities". A patron funded not for profit record label, we are an ethics first business who believe in gender equality and fair pay for all.

It's not like he even sings any tracks from the last album (perhaps because it gets in the way of talking. Richard Jobson is a great rabble-rouser and we certainly need those at this moment in time, but he’s an even better storyteller as evidenced by the title track / lead single Destination Düsseldorf, a lively paean to German artist and one of the singer’s heroes, Jospeh Beuys. It's not like he didn't say "Stuart Adamson is the Skids" in a radio interview (which DD sets out to prove with near-Herculean resolve.

Better assume the crash position then, especially on approaching the truly gruesome Lou Reed-esque track nine (who gets a mention along with Berlin multiple times, natch. The band note Europe as an ongoing inspiration for the new LP; "from the beauty of the Renaissance to the savagery of many wars, the highs and lows have been there as an ongoing and ever evolving influence. A few wry smiles at "going on and on again" as Jobson has more rabbit than Watership Down on stage (causing one wag to ask "any chance of a tune? The guitar work is strangely reminiscent in turn of Masquerade and Circus Games, either a conscious nod to the past or just something in the band’s DNA – but as the Skids have never tried to emulate others, it’s only fair they should look to themselves for inspiration.Destination Dusseldorf" at first offers so much, the first seven songs are good or better, and on the basis of these I need to check out the Skids' back catalogue, but then with "Things We've Seen" and "Greatest Prize" it all goes horribly wrong. Recorded in 2022, Destination Dusseldorf, the brand new studio album from Scotland's legendary Skids, will be released in 2023 on an array of Vinyl, CD and DL. Tidal Wave" that follows is better, bigger and closer to the Skids Braveheart "In Tae Tha Vallea" style of punk sophistication, this is a real contender for the best track here crown.
