Home recordings by Mark Long - singer/guitarist of one of the most criminally
overlooked bands on the planet, The Opposition. These are low-tech, immediate
recordings
that allow the creative
process to take the lead. It's an outlet for his singer/songwriter compositions
in their most intimate form. The career of this English singer/songwriter began
in the '70s new wave explosion, where his group the Opposition had a series
of independent hits in Europe. North Peckham Skyline finds Mark Long mixing
electronics and acoustic guitars with surprising enthusiasm, but he has the
good sense not to drown himself in them; while "Last Summer " features
a prominent drum loop and echoey bass line, the undertow is offset by the
sincerity of
Long's voice
and acoustic guitar. The piano lines on "It's just Over " find
their complement in a glorious acoustic guitar and some soulful background
vocals.
