The Inevitable (Expanded Edition)

by All India Radio

supported by

AntEater The differences in the "vinyl remastered" tracks are only subtle but nice addition to this album. It's All India Radio, so it's all good. Favorite track: Street Conversions (2023 vinyl remaster).

squishyPup The Inevitable is in my Top 5 favorites albums of all time.

about

Download now includes the new 24bit remastered versions for the limited vinyl edition out late 2023. You might notice the vinyl versions are slightly different mixes from the original CD versions. These versions were originally on the first CD pressing but were withdrawn for possible legal reasons.

Debut album from All India Radio aka Martin Kennedy. The album received some very favourable press in Australia and overseas which eventually brought it to the attention of the late great John Peel on his BBC radio who played it on his legendary show a number of times. This then seemed to springboard out into European radio and translated into CD sales.

"All India Radio triumph with The Inevitable. It is old school ambient music...reminds us of the KLF's brilliant ambient effort "Chill Out", The Inevitable is a truly imaginative piece of work. Well worth the trip" - Beat Magazine

" It's the kind of music that comes to you in dreams and to hear it actualised is really quite spooky " - Inpress Magazine

This is brilliant. I've bought all of The Church's, Steve Kilbey's and the Kilbey/Kennedy albums over the years and this ranks up there with the best of them. The whole album just clicked with me on the first play and it will be played many more times. It's also inspired me to belatedly subscribe to All India Radio where much listening pleasure awaits.
