Life In Slow Motion
''Life in Slow Motion'' is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter David Gray, released on 12 September 2005 in Europe and Sept. 13 in the United States. Following a muted response to his previous album, ''A New Day at Midnight'', the album was seen by some as a return to the form that brought Gray international acclaim with ''White Ladder''; it was also the last album recorded with longtime collaborator Craig McClune. Gray cited Sigur Rós, Sparklehorse, Lucinda Williams, Björk and Mercury Rev as inspirations for the album. The album was Gray's first to use a cello player. The original choice to produce was Daniel Lanois, but he was booked, so Gray ended up using Marius de Vries, who'd produced Gray's hit single " Sail Away." The three singles from the album were " The One I Love", "Hospital Food", and "Alibi". The album was also released on DualDisc format, which included a documentary of the making of the album, a photo gallery, and complete lyrics on the DVD ...
