The Pineapple Thief - One Three Seven (Remastered) (2002)

"One Three Seven" (often referred to simply as "137") is the third studio album by the British progressive rock band The Pineapple Thief, founded by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Bruce Soord. The album was first released in 2002 on Cyclops Records and later remixed and remastered for reissues (notably on Kscope).

The album reflects the band's early career, when Bruce Soord created the music almost single-handedly. The music is a blend of melancholic acoustic passages, dense electronic backdrops, cinematic keyboards, and sharp, driving guitar climaxes.

The album's sound clearly draws influences from Radiohead (the OK Computer and Kid A eras), Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Soord's melodic and intimate vocals contrast with the expansive instrumental passages.

The original 2002 release featured a restrained, solo production. The remastered version significantly improves the dynamic range, adds depth to the bass lines, and reveals details of the complex, multi-layered arrangements, correcting some of the rawness of the original mix.
