平庸的人

In June a barnstorming lecture by Geoffrey Alderman, of Buckingham University, gained wide attention with its claims of impotent external examiners, widespread unpunished plagiarism and a "grotesque bidding game" in which universities dished out good grades in order to claw their way up league tables.

The two best songs on Seven Seven come at the end. 'Oh Ma The Sea Is Rising' is a folkish ballad made buoyant by a delicate string section. The distant notes of an opera singer and a touch of piano add further colour; this is a simple song made rich by an intelligent arrangement. 'The Long Goodbye' is more ambitious; constructed out of slow vocal loops and misty layers of guitar and bells, it sounds like a long walk to the end of a jetty on a winter's morning.

这张专辑中最好的两首歌都在结尾部分，&Oh Ma The Sea Is Rising&是一首让人心情舒畅的民谣叙事诗，有着精致的弦乐部分；歌剧唱腔加上钢琴的有质感的演奏为这首歌加了不少分，这本就是一首由于用心的编排而化平庸为神奇的歌曲；&The Long Goodbye&显得野心勃勃，缓慢而反复的演唱加上层次模糊的吉他和铃声伴奏，让人仿佛置身于某个冬天的早晨迈向码头的漫步道。
