If 'Seven' (1992) was James' journey into Waterboys-esque Big Music, 1993's 'Laid', following a year after, was a semi-retreat back indoors again. Producer Brian Eno - ever the restraining reins when bands get on their big horse of rock - made sure that James' urges to go all Simple Minds are firmly curtailed, whilst the simply gorgeous 'Sometimes (Lester Piggot)', the result of an all-night jam-session, could probably be used in religious devotionals. One chord, sixty acoustic guitars, Tim Booth ranting about a boy being struck down by lightning and a choir that appears for the last 30 seconds.
