"And Guess What I Found..." (Introduction)

  Between October 2020 and January 2021 I wrote a blog called Suddenly It's Tuesday , which ranked all 223 Wedding Present songs. I signed off by saying that I would get to Cinerama 'in a couple of weeks'. In my defence, I have been pretty busy with Fall stuff ... Anyway, I'm doing it now, so let's get cracking... Cinerama (1998-2004) The Wedding Present released Saturnalia in September 1996 and toured extensively that year to promote the album. However, after three final gigs in January 1997, Gedge decided to take an extended sabbatical from TWP.  After the heady heights of achieving a dozen top 30 hits in 1992, he had clearly become, if not disillusioned, then at least keen to try out new approaches. 1994's Watusi  had certainly broadened The Wedding Present's sound (with mixed results), and whilst Mini and Saturnalia  were still filled with the trademark sounds and lyrical themes established in the late 80s/early 90s, it was clear that David was itching

"And Guess What I Found..." Part 9: The Top Ten

  And so, we reach the final curtain... Nowhere near as much work or as many words as the TWP blog , of course, but just as enjoyable to do, certainly. It was also a great reminder of the strength in depth of the Cinerama back catalogue: leaving aside the Valentina  misfire (and even that had a couple of decent tracks) there were hardly any songs that weren't at least pretty decent. There was much less controversy from readers this time. I think this is partly because of the quality of the material, and also due to this blog inevitably attracting a smaller audience (about a quarter of Suddenly... ). 10 Crusoe (B-side of  Dance, Girl, Dance, 1998) The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe was a 1960s Franco-German TV show that was dubbed into English for broadcast in the UK, and is a programme I remember enjoying during my summer holidays in the 70s. The use of the distinctive theme tune  (composed by Robert Mellin  and Gian-Piero Reverberi ) as the basis for this Cinerama track is one o
