Victims of the Future by Gary Moore
Victims of the Future is Gary Moore's release from 1984, expressive playing rooted in the blues. It runs to 40 minutes across 8 tracks on Virgin Records. It came to me long after release and earned its place.
Why listen?
The playing is expressive and rooted, every note bent for feeling rather than show. The band keeps it lean and lets the guitar and voice lead. It is a record about tone, touch, and timing.
Favourite song: Empty Rooms
Empty Rooms is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It is the reason to start here.
Empty rooms - where we learn to live
Without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live
Without love
Key takeaway
Victims of the Future is a record worth keeping. Worth seeking out.
