What you say No-one has reviewed The Lighthouse by Ana Da Silva yet. Give us your opinion on The Lighthouse by Ana Da Silva. What we say This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic. Fans of The Raincoats will be pleased to see the return of Ana da Silva with a new solo album on Chicks on Speed records. My worries that this album would be the sound of a 50 year old woman singing over crap electro are unfounded on the first tune that recalls both Weekend and A.C.Marias. The second track similarly sounds more like The Raincoats than Le Tigre and Da Silva's voice is perfectly suited to the sparse instrumentation. Only once or twice do the bleeps that accompany the music turn slightly tacky but generally this is a superb sounding record and a fine, dignified return for one of post punk's leading ladies. The only question remains is how did the magnificent B side of the recent single 'I'm in Awe of a Painting' get left off?

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.
