- Promenade is The Divine Comedy's third album. It was released in 1994 on Setanta to much critical acclaim but little commercial success. It is a concept album about two lovers who spend a day at the seaside. The album's style is even more classical-sounding than its predecessor, Liberation. The string arrangements are reminiscent of the works of Michael Nyman, with whom The Divine Comedy would later collaborate. Neil once said that after attending one of Michael Nyman's shows he went up to the composer, handed him a copy of Promenade, and jokingly said, "You can sue me if you like. " Years later Nyman said he did not remember the incident, but he said he felt more "flattered than ripped off. " Promenade marked the first appearance of Joby Talbot in The Divine Comedy's history. He would go on to become the arranger for most of The Divine Comedy's work, even co-writing two Divine Comedy songs. Promenade is even more overtly literary than Liberation. It opens with a quote from Isaac Watts' hymn "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past" and ends with a quote from Horace's Ode to Man (which is also sung as the chorus of "The Booklovers"). "The Booklovers" is a list of over seventy different authors.
- Promenade est le troisième album de The Divine Comedy. il est sorti en 1994) chez Setanta Records et rencontra immédiatement le succès critique et commercial. C'est un concept album sur deux amoureux qui passe une journée au bord de la mer. Promenade sonne encore plus classique que son prédécesseur Liberation. Les arrangements pour cordes rappellent les oeuvres de Michael Nyman, avec qui The Divine Comedy allait plus tard collaborer. Neil raconta un jour qu'après avoiir assisté à un concert de Michael Nyman, il était allé voir le compositeur, lui avait remis un exemplaire de Promenade, et en blaguant lui avait dit : "Vous pouvez me poursuivre si vous voulez". Des années plus tard, Nyman dit ne pas se souvenir de l'incident, mais assure se sentir davantage flatté que floué". Promenade est aussi plus littéraire que Liberation. L'album s'ouvre sur une citation de l'hymne d'Isaac Watts : "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past", et s'achève sur une citation d'une ode d'Horace qui est chantée en choeur dans une chanson du début intitulée "The Booklovers. " "The Booklovers" contient des références à plus de soixante-dix écrivains. Neil Hannon envoie tous ses albums à Scott Walker, dont il est un grand fan. Scott lui envoya une lettre lui déclarant qu'il aimait particulièrement "The Booklovers."
