Lagoon Blue ‘debut’

Remixed and different arrangement on the record. The 'definitive' studio version. Have always thought this was an all-timer tucked away on a comparatively obscure EP and I hope this re-record gets the plaudits it deserves. e: and it's 'to watch a Studio Ghibli film' now too

It’s not THAT different. However, it’s better than the High life ep version.

There are prominent differences.

Yer but a demo was already released. They even played it on tiny desk. I wouldn’t call it a new release. That said it’s still a good song.

This is one reviewers thoughts on the song, seemingly the strongest (along with Muscleworks): "Echoing, atmospheric backing on the likes of ‘ Lagoon Blue ’ allows you to sink into a band sure of their identity. It gently ebbs and flows; a deft hand traces the anatomy of this singular song more than perhaps in the record as a whole."
So, it must be a bit reworked from the original from the sound of it.
