My Bloody Valentine 'We Have The Time In The World' (Island, 1994) (mp3 download)

The only thing My Bloody Valentine ever released after signing to Island Records.

It must be some kind of record that MBV signed for Island and then delivered nothing other than this track which turned up on this free cover-mount CD from Vox magazine (and also on the 'Peace Together' charity CD).

Mind you, given the delay in releasing the remastered versions of 'Loveless' and 'Isn't Anything', perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, it has just occurred to me that maybe the choice of song here was a message to their new label...?

It's a relatively straight cover of the Louis Armstrong classic with nothing of the 'Loveless' sturm und drang.

There are woozy but relatively upfront vocals but apart from that it's a straight cover with synth strings, gently strummed and picked guitars and percussive tambourine flourishes embellishing the drumming. Quite delightful.
