In no particular order some of my favourite music moments. No 19 Plain Sailing by Tracey Thorn.
A gorgeous slice of ’80s minimalism from the 1982 solo album A Distant Shore by Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl.
Though she had already met future partner and longtime collaborator Ben Watt at Hull University, they both originally signed to Cherry Records as solo artists.
With it’s basic two-chord riff, Plain Sailing is the very embodiment of da Vinci‘s adage ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’.
The song was re-recorded as a 7-inch single and later appeared on a Cherry Red compilation Pillows And Prayers.
