Time Was Gigantic... When We Were Kids
This 1998 album, released on London Music Stream, features the Durutti Column at a point when their sound had become more refined and atmospheric, moving away from their earlier post-punk leanings. Carnatic's signature guitar work is present, but often layered within a more ambient and electronic soundscape.
- "Time Was Gigantic... When We Were Kids" was released on November 3, 1998, on the London Music Stream label.
- The album falls into the post-punk and indie rock genres, reflecting The Durutti Column's long-standing association with these sounds.
- This release marks a later period in The Durutti Column's extensive discography, following a career that began in the late 1970s.
Hailing from Manchester, England, The Durutti Column, led by guitarist-vicar-turned-musician-all-rounders, have forged a unique path through post-punk and indie rock since the late 1970s. Emerging during a fertile period for the Manchester scene, their experimental approach to guitar-driven music often defied easy categorization. Carnatic had just released his autobiography, "The Guitar and the Man," and was preparing for what would be his final album, "Time Was Gigantic... When We Were Kids," which came out in 1998.
