Listened to the two 7" Attack singles.
This tiny record is like a scoop of ice cream for the ears. I really appreciated listening to "In the Future When All's Hell" individually, and not in the cohort of a full album side or a chain of streamable songs attached to it. I would even say that the song changes its meaning and its expressive powers when listened to individually. The B-side is "Christian Dior", a song I have never been able to relate to or even surrender myself to fully and nakedly, but after listening to it individually with a long stretch of silence before and after the tune, it felt as if the song had come alive while I was standing in the streets of Rome wondering where to go next. So what else can you do but play it again. Some 7" singles do not benefit from this special treatment. This one definitely does.
I don't listen to 7" singles often, they are something to look at and touch mostly, I think. Under your finger tips the jacket of Future feels like a high-quality fabric which will last a few decades if not more, it's cool and coarse at the same time.
I could put my fingers on it for hours. It's delicate and elegant but also sturdy. Same material as the Swords album. Not sure what they call it.
Generally, I like the Attack records for their minimalist style but also high-quality appearance. Probably the influence of the Italian fashion industry during that time.
These two singles look like a pair of ties, one in light blue for the boy, and one in light pink for the girl. Just the essentials. I prefer the cover of "Future" to that of "Redondo" though, just because of that reason, as the photograph on the Redondo cover represents a completely different style, it is American, and lacks the European understatement of the label. Why they chose a pink label though, I can't say.
I thought, I could as well add some rustic style to the melange of styles of Redondo, and see what happens. The live version of "Light" is another treat. Both songs, Redondo and Light benefit from an individual listen, and seem to bloom under these exclusive circumstances, which makes us all happy in the long run, of course.
