A/TIME002: St. Etienne “Foxbase Alpha”

Another post in my A/TIME (Albums That Inform Me Everyday) series features the group St. Etienne and their album "Foxbase Alpha". This album includes one of the group's best-known songs: a cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart". The cover quite differs from the original in that the original's mostly major chord progression is turned here into mostly minor, which emphasises a more melancholic feel. It is also arranged in 4/4 (as opposed to the original's waltz time), with a driving piano-bass-drum section. (source Wikipedia). Check out the full album here.
