Future generations always will have their whizzkids, some musical prodigy troubadours to produce forward thinking, inventive & thrilling sounds from the stale mire the scene has milked so badly the climate resembles a looted slag heap. Why oh why does Pete Doherty get so many press inches when all he is is a caricature of a fucked up rock star?? Is he any good at writing more than some scratchy pubrock? People may not warm to Patrick Wolf immediately but you cannae deny the lads utter dedication to producing warm, full, rich & wonderful music, accomplished way beyond his years. His new LP is full of neo-classical folktronica, like say, imagine if a young Marc Almond signed to Planet Mu & took his vaudeville cabaret & lovelorn yearning into astounding new realms of inventiveness, leaving behind the sleazy minimal electro pop. That good. His voice doesn't grate half as much on 'Wind In The Wires' as on his debut, 'Lycanthropy', a richer seam creeping in. This boy will be a star, once he's honed all those ideas into the monster he's designing, mark my words. Tomlab provide the magic, LP/CD
