What you say No-one has reviewed On Leaving by Nina Nastasia yet. Give us your opinion on On Leaving by Nina Nastasia. What we say This record left our Phil feeling happy. NINA NASTASIA has left her native home of Touch & Go and moved to Fat Cat. I so wish I was off to that Touch & Go festival this weekend. Life is cruel..... Anyway Nina is back with a new album which on first listen didn't do much for me. I saw her live a few years ago and I was amazed by how good she was. She is truly a talented lady. Never wanting to give up on someone good I played the album again and second time it made so much more sense. Once more it has Albini engineering so the sound is excellent. Every space is filled and nothing is excessive. In fact sometimes the sparseness of the music fills the speakers more than the sound. I hope that made sense. Essentially Nina is a singer songwriter but the songs she writes are superb and her voice is tremendous. This is as good as any other album I've heard by her. So many good records this week! What the label says: In 2006, Nina Nastasia recorded a new album, 'On Leaving' (again recorded by Steve Albini) and signed to a new label, Fat Cat. The move from Touch & Go implies "nothing scandalous," says Nina, "just moving, the way you move sometimes. This is a good move all around." Nina Nastasia's long-standing peer relationship with engineer Steve Albini and musical organizer Kennan Gudjonsson makes its fourth iteration here, and 'On Leaving' is realised as well by veteran members of Nina's band, Dylan Willemsa (viola), Jay Bellerose (drums), Steven Beck (piano) and Jim White (drums).

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
