Intensely melodic, sonically wired, slightly psychedelic, really deep and yet...not deep, rock music with an occasional acoustic twinge.

Details:
In the year 1996 the British radio sation XFM had just received its full licence and the ears of the nation were to tuned to its frequency. Comfort's The Proof of You flooded the airwaves night and day, the next release Stop Beating the Beat lined up and ready to go.
From the embers of his previous band Out of my Hair, Comfort had just finished recording the mind bendingly brilliant God is in the Detail, an album ahead of its time, if indeed it ever had a time. But, as it was about to hit the shops, the record company folded and nothing more was heard. One of the great recordings of the 1990s was to remain undiscovered. Until now.
Partially released in Japan under the title High Windows, Comfort went back into the studio, recording new tunes and remixing the existing ones with Chris Potter (Urban Hyms) at the helm. A large body of the work had already been completed with the legendary Chris Kimsey (Stones) and mixed in the States by Bob Clearmountain.
But the new album was an altogether fresher, more scintilating collection of songs, the bright melodic energy of Stop Beating the Beat, the grinding anger of No No People, the desperate haunting sadness of Ink, the ripped blues of The Pain, the astral frequencies of Let Me Unwind and Is it in my Atmosphere, and the coming back down to earth with Mr Rosehip, Show the Way.
Idiosyncratic, sonically challenging, God is in the Detail is a classic, and it is a pleasure to finally make it available, for the first time, on CD Baby.
