Studios, London, England between January and May
1995.Beyond British and sensationally
sociological, Blur and singer/songwriter Damon
Albarn weave tales of stifling middle class ennui
into clever pop vignettes. THE GREAT ESCAPE is
another demonstration of Blur's unique
intelligence, more of Albarn's witty commentary,
and substantial proof that the group may be
bordering on genius.As usual, Albarn's senses are
keen on THE GREAT ESCAPE. His ear for melody and
sound textures shines throughout the album's
fifteen brilliant tracks. The ska horns and spy
soundtrack guitar riffing on Fade Away exemplify
Blur's knack for pop music, yet elevate the song
beyond simple genre-fication, with a dignity
reserved for the orchestra pit. The snide humor
behind Mr. Robinson And His Quango rubs shoulders
with the desperation of He Thought Of Cars, all
the while dwelling on what they hope to escape.
It's this nagging dread that carries the
album--the sense that the people Albarn describes
are as desperate to find meaning as Albarn is to
capture it within the song's narrative.THE GREAT
ESCAPE may not turn into Blur's great American
breakthrough album, but if you're not thrown by
Albarn's overwhelmingly British aesthetic, it just
might be enough to take you away from the confines
of your day to day doldrums.[Reviews]Q (12/99,

(10/95, p.110) - 5 Stars - Indispensable - ...THE
GREAT ESCAPE's rich tapestry is matched by music

pop-psychedelic in its influences, restlessly
innovative in its execution...Melody Maker
(9/9/95, p.33) - Bloody Essential - ...Blur's
fourth album (theirs is now the most interesting
career since Joy Division metamorphosed into New
Order) is more robotic than rock, less Kinks than
Kraftwerk....Blur understand the geometry of the
song, and the basic principles of pop, better than
anyone today....The experimental hits just keep on
coming...NME (9/9/95, p.46) - 9 (out of 10) -
...If Noel Oasis' strength derives from an
ambition to be the John Lennon of his generation,
then Blur want to be Lennon AND McCartney. Which
means THE GREAT ESCAPE is so rammed with tunes,
ideas, emotions, humour, tragedy, farce, and edgy
beauty that's it's utterly beyond contemporary

I made a Great Escape! No trojan horses involved
Review of The Great Escape by srushsa

Advantages: Beautiful woodland, great day out, potential team bonding, fun!
Disadvantages: Need to book, may get muddy!

...you guessed it, that was the theme to the Great Escape…..!!!!! That was what was going through my mind anyway when I went to visit the site of the Great Escape in West Sussex. ~~What is it? An old movie or something?~~ Actually far from sitting on a sofa, The Great Escape is an amazing Woodland Challenge Course (huge assault course to you and me) with lots of exciting rope elements like a zip wire - where you are on a harness and whoosh down a ...
...be rude not to being The Great Escape and all!!!! ~~Is it safe?~~ 100%, all the staff are fully trained and qualified, you are in a harness for any high ropes elements. ~~What is the location like~~ It is absolutely beautiful - but then I visited on an amazing summers day, all the main activities are situated outdoors, the assault course is based in woodland on a private estate, while there I saw deer, squirrels, a fox and little bunnies…ahhhhh. ...
