Mansun - 'Slipping Away' (Parlophone)
3/5
By: Matt Tomiak
Bloody hell, a Mansun single! Not something you'd instantly expect to find in a promo bundle in the second half of 2004, but with a career loose-end assembling compilation on the way it's a welcome reminder of an always interesting band who were unfairly sidelined in recent years and an act who, with their second album 'Six', were responsible for one of the bravest, most innovative and highly underrated records of the 1990s.
The band's swansong is an introspective, sweeping, creeping pop a la 'Legacy' ('My fear is slipping away from me/My conscience keeps saying move on...') So, goodbye Mansun: sorry we treated you so shoddily.
