What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

British Sea Power are one of those supposed under-achieving Brit bands who about ten people like but judging by the frantic post punk outburst of the opener of 'The Decline Of.. (their debut) which sounds more like the Dead Kennedys meets The Birthday Party to me, then I reckon we've got 'em all wrong. Much more kicking & vibrant than the singles suggest, I advise checking out this best kept secret of ours! A really nice surprise much like the last Clearlake album! Rough Trade might just have some new unsung potential legends on their roster! CD only & cheap for the the initial run so be quick!

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
