thankyou coloradojohn to the rescue again, cheers
One of Ian's coolest grooves, to be sure! Every time I see that cover pic, it takes me back to the Taikodani Inari Jinja, near Tsuwano, Shimane-ken, one of the largest and most important of its kind, located along a misty ridge in one of the most surreal places in all of Japan... But part of its charm is that it's so remote, so it's more likely that he's at the main one in Fushimi, Kyoto-fu. I also think it's clever that the title reflects how in Shinto worship, the Sun is at the top of the pantheon, and a mirror is at the center of the altar of each of the thousands of shrines scattered throughout the country.

Delicious lyrics & “vibe”.
It either gets you.
Or it doesn’t.
It’s that simple.

Sort of Radiohead and Portishead vibe about this which matches the time that this was released... 2004.
I think I like it now for its nostalgic sound but I may not have liked it at the time - just shows you to always keep an open mind :)

Very, very nice. It just sort of rolls over the listener, but in a very good way. It's easy to get lost in this sound. For me, anyway.
Voted a Godlike Genius for a very good reason!

Thought this was Unkle. Guess they rubbed off on him. I wonder if anyone from that outfit was involved in this production?

It's like Ian Brown jamming with an uninspired Radiohead. Interesting if slightly over produced tune.
I loved the first Stone Roses album, The Second Coming was much less exciting. I've only heard a small amount of his solo stuff, but what I have heard I've liked.

This number's slowly growing on me, musically at least - the lyrics are plain spaced-out stoner bollox. 6 from the Nottingham jury.

Nice song but OMG someone needs to start adding some proper Ian Brown tunes to RP...

No "Sister Rose"?

Finally got a hold of this album. It's good across the board to my ears.
The music is interesting and (mostly) unique.

Reminiscent of the Shamen and dog-on-a-rope New Age crusties. Ok for a while, but I suspect the lyrics could start to get on one's tits after a bit. 5 from the Nottingham jury.

his entire back catalogue is essential listening - in fact this isnt even one of his better tracks - there was a greatest hits CD last year which is worth getting for anyone new to the legend that is Ian Brown
Never heard this before. Very cool!

Dude, time to lay off the repeat button. You play any song more than once a day for a year, and its going to seem humdrum, because by that point it IS. That's the whole point of RP and eclectic radio.
If the rest of Ian Brown's styles were this good, I'm sure Bill would sample more. But I'll take this, every few weeks, just fine in the mix.

This is a good song. But there are far better ones on the album. This album is a great introduction to the lead singer from the Stone Roses (and points to his success as an individual musician).
A solid 10 as an album, 8 for the song.
Rock on Ian!
I didn't even know Ian had done anything since the Roses. Chalk up another CD sale as a result of RP. This is getting expensive.
This song (title mostly) makes me think of the movie Solaris.

pretty trippy groove, wonder what his other stuff sounds like. Reminds me of that crazy music towards the end of 28 Days Later
Reminds me of Nine Inch Nails
Outstanding! Must buy this Album
This song reminds me of that little midget in Twin Peaks. Everything is "backwards forwards"!

The way he pronounces "sun" tells me he's from the north of England. Does anyone know for sure?
On another website it states he was born in Warrington, England, this date in 1963. So not only are you all correct about north of England (between Manchester and Liverpool), but today is his birthday.

If he's the dude from Stone Roses, then Manchester it is, since I remember back in 90 when Stone Roses came out, they were part of a batch of 'Manchester' bands that came out.

I've listened to the whole album a few times now and Keep What Ya Got is really the only one that still sounds like a Stone Roses song to me.
I can't put my finger on it but I love this song.
I think it's the hint of a middle eastern/ancient feel.
