The Living Fire is a celebration of choral music written for or associated with Jesus College, Cambridge. Featuring several premiere recordings of contemporary choral works by emerging composers, this album highlights the artistry within the College whilst honouring it's rich musical legacy. At the same time, it looks forward: the impetus behind this project was to provide a platform for emerging artists from within the College community to showcase their work. This project holds particular significance for several Choir members since, among the lyricists and composers, are former ensemble members. Their deep connection to the group has allowed for the creation of choral works uniquely suited to individual voices and our corporate strengths, making these world premieres all the more fitting. Many of the other contemporary works on this album are staples of Choral Evensong, beloved by the Choir and heard in Chapel services for many years. This album is a celebration of the bright future of music at Jesus College, the Choir's integral role in this special community, and it's broader contribution to the development and enjoyment of choral music globally.

Le groupe écossais The Jesus and Mary Chain, auréolé d'une réputation trouble pour ses concerts chaotiques, a eu une influence importante et durable dans le rock. Combinant une sensibilité mélodique et pop à un goût prononcé pour la saturation, le groupe a donné au rock britannique quelques-uns de ses plus essentiels albums des années 80, en premier lieu desquels l'incontournable Psychocandy (1985). Le groupe se sépare en 1999, après un dernier album l'année précédente. Il se reforme en 2007 et se lance dans une série de festivals et de tournées, en Europe, en Amérique du Nord, en Australie et au Japon. Très rapidement, Jim Reid, le chanteur, assure que la reformation se traduira par un nouvel album studio. Mais les années passent, seulement rythmées par la gestion de leur back catalogue (The Power of Negative Thinking : B-Sides & Rarities, Upside Down : The Best of The Jesus And Mary Chain et The Complete Vinyl Collection. Plusieurs fois, la sortie du nouvel opus est annoncée comme imminente, mais elle n'intervient qu'en 2017, sous le nom de Damage and Joy, mettant fin à 19 ans de disette.
