Finisterre was Saint Etienne's 6th studio album and was originally released in 2002. The album was a love / hate letter to London, with its iconic image of the collapsed ronan point on the cover, recorded at a time of mass demonstrations against the government and just after folk hero Ken Livingstone had been elected mayor. Alternately harsh and gentle, electronic and thrumming, it included the nu-disco call-to-arms single Action.
