Nova Mob – Admiral Of The Sea – Compact Disc

Nova Mob’s ‘Admiral of the Sea’ is a notable track from their 1991 concept album, The Last Days of Pompeii. The song was also released as the band’s first EP in February 1991 by Rough Trade Records.

The EP features multiple versions of ‘Admiral of the Sea,’ including the ‘First Ave. Mix’ and the ‘Run-Off Mix,’ showcasing the band’s versatility and experimental approach. Additionally, the EP includes tracks like ‘The Last Days of Pompeii (Single Mix),’ ‘Getaway in Time (Instrumental),’ and a live cover of Willie Dixon’s ‘I Just Want to Make Love to You,’ recorded on May 13, 1990, at La Dolce Vita in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The lineup for this recording consisted of Grant Hart on vocals and guitar, Tom Merkl on bass, and Michael Crego on drums. The production was a collaborative effort between Nova Mob and Dave Kent, with engineering assistance from Steve Noonan.

Admiral of the Sea exemplifies Nova Mob’s distinctive blend of alternative rock, characterized by melodic structures and introspective lyrics. The song’s thematic elements align with the overarching narrative of The Last Days of Pompeii, reflecting Hart’s penchant for storytelling through music.
