Rating: happy This record left our Clint feeling happy.

Hello......Clint here with a massive pile of stuff. First up Gavouna 'Stings and Dum Machines' on Arable. Well the worst thing about this is the title. Once you've got past that you get an extremely interesting album which if I was forced at gunpoint to place in a category, I'd place it in folktronica. But it's not all cut up acoustic guitars and twinkly piano's. There's some great drums, glockenspiels and strings on here. Track 3 could kill a man at several paces - its utterly great. There's bits of Philip Glass here, Brian Eno there...even hinting at the beautiful horn melodies of your Burt Bacharach's in places.

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.

'don't put your hands where you wouldn't put your face'
