Our Take

MIDGE URE's The Gift (Deluxe Edition) (2023 Remaster) is like digging through your mum's old record collection and finding a hidden gem that makes you question why you've been listening to the same chart-toppers on repeat.

This remastered version of URE's 1985 solo album is a true gift to music enthusiasts, with its ethereal melodies and nostalgic synths transporting listeners back to the glorious era of New Wave. From the melancholic crooning in "If I Was" to the infectious energy of "Wastelands," each track is a masterclass in songwriting that stands the test of time.

The bonus material on this deluxe edition is the cherry on top, offering rare demos and live recordings that give fans a deeper insight into URE's creative process. It's like being invited into the artist's studio and witnessing the evolution of these iconic tracks firsthand.

While some may dismiss The Gift as a relic of the past, true music aficionados will appreciate its enduring charm and timeless appeal. URE's unique blend of heartfelt lyrics and innovative production makes this album a must-have for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.

So grab your retro headphones, pour yourself a glass of vintage wine, and let MIDGE URE's The Gift (Deluxe Edition) (2023 Remaster) take you on a journey through the golden age of synth-pop. You won't be disappointed.
