[Close] to the Last Moment

Quick quick quick!

I often don't get round to reading the Guardian Guide until a bit too late, so I've only got until the end of today to hear the first episode of Radio 2's 3-part documentary on ZTT uber-goddess Anne Dudley. Art of Noise, strings on ABC's "the look of love", pretty much every keyboard and orchestral arrangement on Frankie Goes To Hollywood, the soaring strings on Pulp's "Different Class".

Go listen go listen go listen...before it's too late.

OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

"Close (To The Edit)" is quite literally my favourite record of all time.

The bit where she plays the "Love" piano intro and it fades to the original... *shiver*

Vary glad you saw it. You were one of the people I was specifically thinking about when posting this...

And yes the bits of her really playing - amazing. But also wierd to hear recordings like 'Poison Arrow' in the context of the discussion and think that those oh-so-famous keyboard parts were all her, and all played live.

And I now realise I got the bracketing wrong in the post title. I was in a hurry, okay?
