Tilt – Show Notes

For our latest episode, we do a deep delve into an album that’s done its best to remain under the radar over the last quarter of the century. It’s the last Seeds album of the 90s and the last one before an extended hiatus. Yup, it’s Tilt. It’s neither mine nor Mat’s favourite album in the Lightning Seeds canon, but it remains a bit of a hidden gem. Anyway, we’re back to one episode per album thanks to Mat’s super editing prowess.
