Casanovawas the bands third album and the first to bring real success. First released in 1996 it explored and dissected a world of casual affairs, loose morals and a thousand anxieties in between. From the NME: Casanova fairly teems with sex, with suppressed desires.. with ample evidence of what dicks men can be. Mojo described it as a glorious.. sumptuous paean to life, love and longing. Select said Only a barren heart could resist it.. Sensible people simply swooned.SinglesSomething For The Weekend,Becoming More Like AlfieandThe Frog Princessbecame chart hits and airplay staples while an alternate version ofSongs Of Lovebecame the theme music for legendary Channel 4 sitcomFather Ted.The LP release consists of the original remastered album, cut at Abbey Road, packaged with a download code for the album and bonus tracks. The LP is heavyweight black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve accompanied with photos, credits and Neils liner notes.To mark the release, The Divine Comedy play five nights at the Barbican in London in early September and then later the same month, five nights at the Cite de la Musique in Paris.
