I shall have to plead ignorance hereNever heard of The Blue Nile - who are/were they and what are the chances of me liking their recorded output?

They're a Scottish band formed in the early 80s."Adult orientated", understated" or "a bit dull" tend to be phrases used about them. They always take about five years to come up with an album. There are few obvious hooks but I find the music thoughtful and the singer (Paul Buchanan)has an understated (told you) but plaintive voice. He's also worked with Peter Gabriel.
Tinsel Town In The Rain, their nearly hit, is a good starting point if you want to take a look on youtube. If you like what you hear I'd be happy to send you some stuff.
