If 'Seven' (1992) was James' journey into Waterboys-esque Big Music, 1993's 'Laid', following a year after, was a semi-retreat back indoors again. Producer Brian Eno - ever the restraining reins when bands get on their big horse of rock - made sure that James' urges to go all Simple Minds are firmly curtailed, whilst the simply gorgeous 'Sometimes (Lester Piggot)', the result of an all-night jam-session, could probably be used in religious devotionals. One chord, sixty acoustic guitars, Tim Booth ranting about a boy being struck down by lightning and a choir that appears for the last 30 seconds.

Reviews"...LAID is gentle without being wimpy, smart without being snotty and moody without being morbid....its beautiful melodies are sung honestly, without a trace of distance....", "...LAID combines reflective, introspective musings with a heartening reassurance...mixing yearning and intelligence with a naked honesty....an endearing, devastating, honest triumph...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...LAID benefits from a lean, stripped down sound and it sparks a spontaneity sprung from James' penchant for studio improvisation...", "...Another endearing folk-pop- rock marvel from the cult James band, and this one could finally put them over stateside....A juicy alternative to the Alternative Parade..." - Rating: A-, "...Laid Is the (Relative) Crowd Pleaser--70 Minutes of Intelligent Moody Pop Songs..."
