Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. That's why each of our records is first meticulously cleaned and then not just inspected once, but twice, before a sample is play-tested to make sure it sounds as good as it looks. Flattered as they must be by this new-found fame, it's clear that Bloc Party would rather their long-awaited long-player Silent Alarm did the talking.

Building on the arrangements in their demo songs recorded in 2004, the band members moulded tracks largely through live takes during the Silent Alarm studio sessions. Silent Alarm is also more varied than Bloc Party’s early work indicated it might be, spanning edgy pop, atmospheric ballads, and angular, percussive tracks that are all served well by the album’s big, layered production.

Bloc Party's debut album, 'Silent Alarm', was released in February 2005 and was met with universal critical acclaim. They describe themselves, rather awkwardly, as 'an autonomous unit of un-extraordinary kids reared on pop culture between the years of 1976 and the present day'.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. As dynamic as Silent Alarm is, it’s not perfect: Kele Okereke’s yelpy vocals get a little grating on the less melodic songs, and the second half of the album doesn’t quite sustain the momentum it had at the beginning, although the bonus remixes of “Plans” by Mogwai, and “Pioneers”” by M83 help make up for this. Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).

The Silent Enigma', Anathema's second studio album, was originally released in the summer of 1995 and is the first release on which guitarist Vincent Cavanagh took over the vocal duties of recently. In a market that's becoming increasingly driven by throwaway singles, I'm hoping for a record that reinvigorates the album as an art form; I'm hoping for a record that'll have me scrambling to press play whenever I get the chance; I'm hoping that 'something glorious is about to happen' ("Positive Tension"). Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.

This Modern Love", "Blue Light" and latest single "So Here We Are" are three of the gentlest, most touching ballads to come out of London in a long time. I love it that I notice new, small, licks and tricks everytime I listen to this album with my headphones on.
