What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Now I have the much talked about album by Nouvelle Vague called Bande a Part. Apparently they sold 200,000 copies of their last album which if they sold them for a pound each would have made £200,000 .. a lot of cash no!. Anyway the thing is they record famous punk and rock tunes and make them all loungy and delicate. They also bring in bossanova beats and breathy female vocals creating cheeky cover versions to make you guffaw over your nibbles whilst your having your middle age dinner party. (I am still cutting edge). It's getting vastly differing opinions in the towers and I'm being told they haven't used as recognizable songs as last time. Anyway I think it would raise a smile, and if your in a loving relationship (god bless you), curl up to this cosy album. I think it has its place... but the place in my house would be deep, black and smelling of chickpeas. Ltd edition CD to come next week all being well!

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.
