High Civilization - Part 1

from Words - The Bee Gees Podcast

1991's 'High Civilization' had producer Femi Jiya working with the Bee Gees to create a sound that emphasised percussion, rhythm and abrasive, industrial soundscapes. The result is a departure from the traditional Bee Gees sound, and an album that has often divided opinion. Despite continued lack of promotion and success in North America, the album and subsequent tour proved to be a hit in Europe. Stuart and Cristiano compare their varying perspectives on this album, running through the five songs on side one, and uncovering a lost concept album along the way.
