Then, if I remember correctly, he made a re-edit of it and told me he wasn’t gonna release it out of respect to me because I was the one who was known for that song (plus I was trying to re-issue it at the time). I remember playing it at Winter Music about 15 years ago and Kon came up and asked what it was. I think Grand Master Lover by O’mar is the one that is very weird, very lo-fi bedroom sounding but just a great song that always has people asking me about it. It does have its flaws, but they're very hard to find.The Grand Master Lover – The Legend Of O’Mar (1983) Pick by Peanut Butter Wolf For example, song's like "A song for the lovers" seemed more focused on orchestration while other songs such as "On a beach" seemed more focused on showing off ashcroft's vocal talent. One thing I personally love about this album is that Ashcroft seemed to explore all area's of his musical talent. These tracks being "A song for the lovers", "On a beach", "Come on people", "Brave new world", and "I get my beat". I'd say that there are at least a solid five tracks which massively contributed to the album's success. However unlike 'Urban hymns", this album's success was by no means carried by a couple of hit singles.

Match the catchy songs with their confidence and absolute power to affect, like A Song For The Lovers, which shows with great power how Ashcroft is still capable of wowing us. Meanwhile, Ashcroft throws in some deliciously infectious pop tunes via "C'mon People We're Making It Now" which sound only like Ashcroft and nothing else in this solar system. I Get My Beat is also sounding nothing like what I've ever heard on the radio. Check out the incredibly 'out there' New York, with heavy hitting riffs and interesting back drop noises. Anyone who says this is Middle of the Road is really not listening, because Ashcroft is easily being innovative on this record the same way the Verve were. While this in no way can be compared to the Verve and what they did, it's still incredible and fascinating album. While this in no way can be compared to the Verve and what they did, it's Richard Ashcroft has made a brilliant debut solo album here.
