Epic Soundtracks - Rise Above

Ok, another fellow who died much too soon (in 1997). He was brought up in Solihull, Midlands with his brother Adrian Nicholas, who was known as Nikki Sudden. In 1972 Kevin and Nicholas formed the nucleus of what was to become the post-punk rock group Swell Maps, with "Epic" on drums and piano, and "Nikki" on guitar and vocals. Read their whole story here.

This solo-album from 1992 is just beautiful and delivers such a great emotion of "ennui" and "laisser faire" - at least in my ears...
Some of the people who participated are Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon, J. Mascis and Rowland S. Howard.
