What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

What's a bit of extra money in your pocket eh? Especially when millions of lives and the future of the planet are at stake. I was always the first one to moan about that last Gravenhurst album - how it was over-rated etc etc. Well I could be made to eat my words with this new one, as it shows a marked improvement and shows why Warp were willing to stake their reputation on it. This shows up more of the dark folk Gravenhurst was purported to make. It's almost as if Radiohead had only ever listened to Nick Drake. I still think the fellers voice needs to drop a notch or two, but still, some lovely fluid guitar playing and a canny grasp of melody could make this a bedsit classic.

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.
