What we say

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 LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
