This is my favorite record of all that I own. I have an original vinyl copy that I've owned for about 20 years. When I first heard this record in the spring of 2000 I could not believe what I was hearing. It felt like something inside my head had totally rearranged. Lawrence sounds cooler than Bob Dylan does on Highway 61 Revisited. He sounds kind of like a Lou Reed from the suburbs. Much more shut-in and private, which I guess is part of the reason for the aura of mystery around this record. The guitars on "September Lady" sound like autumn leaves falling in a crystal sunlight. The production, the singing, the bass and guitars, all make this an immaculate pop artifact that sounds now as fresh as it sounded 20 years ago. It's every bit the pop masterpiece that Pet Sounds is. I think 50 years from now this record will be appreciated as one of the great records from the rock music era, alongside Closer, Forever Changes, and Slanted and Enchanted, these are its peers. For me what sets Forever Breathes apart from the other masterpieces is that it sounds like it came from nowhere and from no time in particular, not from a scene, not from the 80s, not from a specific city or nation, but from an internal anglophone dreamworld. Incredible.

‘September Lady’ on this. Just an exceptional autumnal jangle of sheer beauty. Overall it’s a brilliant record -
Probably my favorite Felt album. Reissues of the final 5 albums coming sept. 21st! Wallet already hurt!! -
Edited 9 years agoSounds nothing like the ersatz Soul moves of Lloyd Cole.
Felt have always sounded a little like Lou Reed and Mark E Smith fronting Television with a bit of this and that thrown in.
Deebank left and the sound changed as Duffy ed, both are sides of the same coin.
Personally I love the Cherry Red Felt but it's different for everyone. -
Edited 11 years agoI had to check twice that I wasn't listening to a Lloyd Cole & The Commotions record. Quite different from their debut "Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty" that was more in the vein of The Durutti Column/China Crisis. Maybe not so strange that Felt never quite managed to break through, as they couldn't find a voice of their own.
