Idlewild - The Remote Part

The third studio album by the Scottish rock band, originally released in July 2002. As they were becoming increasingly aware of their label's interest in them and their demos, the band's musical direction was being steered by guitarist Rod Jones. For the first half of 2001, the band recorded songs with producers Stephen Street and Lenny Kaye. Due to the uneven nature of the songs done between tours, they spent some time reworking 20 tracks in the Scottish Highlands. They recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, RAK Studios in London, and Sawmills Studios in Cornwall with producer Dave Eringa. Described as an alternative rock and indie rock record, it lacked the punk rock elements of their previous work. Features the singles 'You Held the World in Your Arms', 'American English', 'Live in a Hiding Place' and 'A Modern Way of Letting Go'.
