Blue Nile: A Purity of Sound and Originality

The Blue Nile's debut album, 'A Walk Across the Rooftops,' showcases their unique sound and quirky, angular melodies. It sets the stage for their later masterpiece, 'Hats.' Their use of sound and melody, influenced by artists like Sinatra and Brian Eno, creates a sense of freshness and originality. Although they were not as commercially successful as other bands of the era, their album remains a favorite for its purity and musical craftsmanship.
