| Interesting list...
I like the Oasis album, but I don't think its very groundbreaking or
different, conservative with a small 'c'.
Black Grape I like a lot, but I think the non-singles lose it a
little. Couurtney Pine - some tracks are v good, some others are a
little tame for my taste.
I'd like to hear the Beltane Fire album.
I would probably go for Underworld, or maybe Help for sentimental
reasons (although there are a lot of very good trax on there).

| Mmm, I have similar reservations, Blur's Great Escape Album, is easily
as good an album as the Oasis one. THnak god there is no M People type
album this year. Dance, once again, seems to have been extremely mis-
represented, where's the album of challenging Drum 'n' Bass for
example?
Altogether mmmm,
dickie.
(See, didn't mention Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals once, oh
knickers!)

| Mark Morrison: semi-famous, soul singer, recent number one with 'Return
of the Mack' (not a song about a missing raincoat)
Norma Waterson: finger in the ear folkie type.

| 1357.5 | Oasis or Pulp or Maxwell Davies for me! | ZUR01::ASHG | Grahame Ash @RLE | Thu Jul 25 1996 12:49 | 5 |
| Can someone remind me what the point of this award is? Is it something to do
with recording quality, or is it just the music? How canthey compare such a
variety of styles?

I'd say it has a lot to do with who the record companies are tryingf to
promote - note the inclusion (not!) of recent albums by bands who
aren't household names....

| The Norma Waterson album isn't that great. Norma is married to Martin
Carthy who has been a leading light of the folk movement since the
early 60s.

Oh, undoubtedly, but what's the OFFICIAL reason?! Why set up this as well as
the Brits[sic]?

| I believe this was meant to be a 'Booker Prize' type thing for British
music. Initially it worked quite well, i.e. Screamadelica by Primal Scream
got one, but since M People won one for a nasty handbag album to get
the 'normal' records buyers interested, it's turned into an excuse to
push a couple of albums during a traditionally slack time in record
sales.

| 1357.12 | Jarvis Cocker, top man | CHEFS::CONNELLA | Now is not the time to cry | Wed Sep 11 1996 10:28 | 6 |
| A top album too, well deserved. Though I have finally manged to
aquaint myself with Everything Must GO (MSP) and it's on my playlist of
the month. Take That were nominated for Mercury award a couple of
years back, I don't remember who beat them though...
