If you're like me, you've noticed a frustrating divide between music you acquired pre- and post- digital conversion. I was a pretty late ipod adopter, but I quickly filled my 80-gig capacity. And since I'm lazy about shaking it up, a whole galaxy of great albums that didn't get in when the getting was good now just gets short shrift.The Cardigans' First Band On The Moon is one such album. I dug it out recently and ended up digging the whole damn thing. Pretty dynamite start to finish, with cool production quirks which—amazingly for a '90s record—still sound good. This is the album's closer and it has the bigness of outro songs on classic '70s records. A song of utter hopelessness matched with a triumphant flute melody. I don't think anyone pulls that trick off better.
