 MUTANT SOUNDS: Matt Johnson-Burning Blue Soul,LP,1981,UK
Matt Johnson (born 15 August 1961, in London, England) is the founder and only constant member of the multimedia band, The The.
His observations on human sexuality have also raised eyebrows (and led to numerous radio bans) over the years on songs such as "Out of the Blue (Into the Fire)", "Dogs of Lust", "This Is the Night" and others.
The band managed to appear on the indie record labels 4AD and Some Bizzare, the former releasing their 1981 debut album, Burning Blue Soul.

Soul Mining was heavily influenced by what was contemporary dance music in 1983.
In effect, Soul Mining is dance music made by someone who doesn't dance, can't dance, hates dancing, and casts hateful and longing glances at the pretty and vacuous girls who dance with carnal abandon at the clubs.

 CD Times - The The
Being the first album to bear the credit to The The - Burning Blue Soul was originally released as a Matt Johnson album - Soul Mining continued the themes from the earlier album but in place of the clumsy attempts at global politics, Soul Mining goes further still in Johnson's examination of the self.
Where Burning Blue Soul ground Christmas cracker jokes alongside wordplay, Soul Mining saw Johnson singing of love, lust and loneliness in such an assured manner that suggested he had finally experienced something of life, which was not an impression offered by his earlier work.

 TrouserPress.com :: The The
Johnson's seemingly dour vocals are often laced with sardonic humor and outbursts of passion, as if he were compelled to unleash pent-up emotions out of necessity rather than as part of an act.
Johnson favors a fuller band sound, and some of the gently engaging pop tunes, such as "Uncertain Smile," "Perfect" (added to the American edition of the album) and "This Is the Day," are compelling portraits of inner confusion, although Johnson's eerie vocal resemblance to Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is a distraction.
Reaching from Burning Blue Soul to Dusk, Solitude offers live takes, remixes and deconstructions of familiar works as well three-fourths of the 1991 Shades of Blue EP, including the title track, a Duke Ellington tune.

 Burning Blue Soul
It breaks my heart even when she has a bad cold, let alone knowing that she has to endure the endless needlepricks of blood-draws and IVs, or the painful insertion of a catheter in her neck, or the awkwardness and difficulty of not being able to perform basic functions like walking unassisted.
The worst is the sadness...the tears and the trembling of her soul crying out for reprieve.
It's at times like this that I am most tested, as the battle within me rages between the nurturing, loving husband who soothes his dear love and the angry, blasphemous heretic that curses at the forces in the world that could allow such suffering to befall an undeserving person.

 The The: Burning Blue Soul: Pitchfork Record Review
As stifling as things could get in Baptist country, The The lead vocalist Matt Johnson seemed to understand our isolation, and was explicit in his indictment of our parents' sham Christian mores.
His songwriting didn't induce the kind of feeble hopelessness that would normally lead a bored, confused suburban kid to lose it completely.
But most of all, realize that Manson's crusade is merely to open your little pocketbooks and swindle you out of those hard-earned weekly allowances.
