In many people's opinion, The Delgados; magnum opus, The Great Eastern remainsone of Chemikal Underground's most significant releases.The album itself, named after the homeless shelter a mile or so from ChemikalUndergrounds offices, was a triumphant realization of The Delgados' potential assongwriters and as a live act. Live shows often feature ten musicians on stage(and in one instance at the Royal Festival Hall as many as eighteen), this was clearlynot a lo-fi album.The recording process was a protracted one with sessions lasting well over a year.Once again recorded at CAVA with Tony Doogan, it was decided that given someabortive attempts at mixing the thing, Paul, Stewart, and Tony would decamp toUpstate New York and mix the album with Flaming Lips helmer Dave Fridmann.The end result was a resounding success: shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, TheDelgados' also received a Spirit Of Scotland Award Music Award, A Nordoff-RobbinsBest Newcomer (!) Award and a Jockrock Tartan Cleft Award for The Great Eastern.A1. The Past That Suits You BestA2. Accused Of StealingA3. American TrilogyA4. Reasons For Silence (Ed's Song)A5.
