After seeing Lie Dream of a Casino Soul, I had to have a good The Fall cd. Lead single “Lie Dream of a Casino Soul” and “Classical” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. The Fall’s debut, ‘Hip Priest and Kamerads’, does not fit easily into one genre. Hip Priest […]

After seeing Trapeze Freak, I had to have a good Fu Manchu cd. While no new Fu Manchu album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in North America. There is so much to love about Fu Manchu, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. […]

While no new The Fall album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1993 tour in North America. This nine-song debut EP shows the promise that The Fall has. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of The Fall energies, virtually a rebirth. Perverted By Language touched my soul like nothing […]

Now signed to The Fall’s Capitol Records, the title track from second album “Extricate” leads The Fall’s back-to-school campaign. On the China charts, superstar The Fall’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. The Fall’s debut, ‘Extricate’, does not fit easily into one genre. Overall, I would highly recommend Extricate CD.

This is one of the best Cd’s Urusei Yatsura has dropped to date. fifteen years ago, Urusei Yatsura briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Hello Tiger”. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Urusei Yatsura energies, virtually a rebirth. Urusei Yatsura “Slain by Yatsura” is an amazing […]

This is the first studio album from Yo La Tengo since bad diagnosis in 1993. There is so much to love about Yo La Tengo, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Since Yo La Tengo last CD (Painful) on Mute Records back in 1993, I have felt a massive void in […]

This is one of the best Cd’s Yo La Tengo has dropped to date. May I Sing with Me is an amazing album, racked with beauty.John Digester has compared writing for Yo La Tengo’s new album to that on ‘May I Sing with Me’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. […]

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Spiritualized on ‘You Know It’s True’. On Laser Guided Melodies album, Spiritualized have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. This disc has all of the essential Spiritualized classics. Exciting stuff.
If I Were With Her Now is another favourite of […]

Revenge of the Goldfish carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. IF YOU LIKE ALL Inspiral Carpets’S SONG GO FOR IT! Self-described as Indie with lots of words, Inspiral Carpets comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. IT makes me wanna dance!
Voice of Inspiral Carpets in Saviour is honest and […]
