...BLUE NILE: HATS (A&M). A trio of ethereally rocking Scotsmen, the Blue Nile weaves a sound mosaic that is part sci-fi parable and part Arcadian fantasy. Gentle, uninsistent and insinuating, a single listen to The Downtown Lights could convert anyone this side of an Aerosmith fan to full-fledged Nile fever...
