Album Review by EDF Coming straight out of Texas but with a lead singer who surprisingly sounds a bit like Delores O’Riordan from the Irish group The Cranberries, this is where any comparisons stop with this four-piece girl group. Baby Jane Hudson has a rock sound with a little bit of funk added that Album Review by EDF Ever since Saturday Night Fever hit the movie screens in 1977, the use of music as a sellable commodity for both the movie and the recorded artist is now expected with most films, especially with romantic comedies. Virgin has collected together enough classic tracks to fill two CD’s worth of Single Review by Mark Bayross Badly Drawn Boy is the work of Damon Gough, a kind of Mancunian Beck who has accumulated much muso journo praise for his genre-hopping pop experimentation. Despite this wilful occupation of the left-of-field, last year’s ONCE AROUND THE BLOCK single actually made a dent in the Top 50. ANOTHER Single Review by Nigel A. Messenger SILENT SIGH is taken from the soundtrack of the movie ABOUT A BOY starring Hugh Grant, Toni Collete and Rachel Weisz. It’s a fairly simple sound but strangely likeable and personally I think BADLY DRAWN BOY’s best release to date. CD 1 comes with an extra acoustic version Single Review by Mark Bayross DISILLUSION is taken from the highly-acclaimed Badly Drawn Boy (AKA Damon Gough) debut album THE HOUR OF BEWILDERBEAST. Backed by fellow Mancunians Doves, Gough’s fey vocals and indie guitar carry an upbeat and infuriatingly catchy tune…that’s a “Wake Up Boo!”-level of infuriating catchiness. You’ll be trying to erase it Album Review by Mark Bayross When I reviewed ANOTHER PEARL a month or so ago, I said that I hoped Damon Gough’s forthcoming (and long awaited) debut album THE HOUR OF BEWILDERBEAST erred more towards the stirring strings and eccentric electronica of the single’s B-side. Well, it doesn’t really, but nonetheless, it still manages Album Review by EDF Before The Darkness, there was Bad News and the news was bad. In fact this “classic” rock band have been rediscovered and if we are lucky, they will not be touring to support this reissue. 1983 was the year the world received Bad News and for the next few years Album Review by Mark Bayross It seems hard to believe, but WHO LET THE DOGS OUT was two years ago…seems like five agonising minutes to me. Not to worry, here’s album number eight to soundtrack all those beach parties we like so much in sunny England. Maybe I’m being a bit unfair here, as Single Review by Nigel A. Messenger The BAHA MEN are back with their follow-up for the now infamous WHO LET THE DOGS OUT. This one is more of a party sound – a summer party in fact – ideal for a July release. Very catchy, its hard to see this failing, Fun stuff indeed! Album Review by EDF Once in a while a group will come along who, instead of limiting themselves by making a perfect album’s worth of four minute songs, will push the boundaries out and produce an album where the songs will take you on an uncharted journey. This is the essence to Baleen’s second |
