Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Onto iLiKETRAiNS who have a comp CD out on Fierce Panda. They're from Leeds this lot you know. This is a comp of their singles 'n all and it's called Progress Reform. I've never really got my head around them before but listening to this CD as a whole it makes a lot more sense and I'm not entirely sure how well suited their music is to a 7" format and had it all come out on LP I think it would have made more sense to me. The guitars sound incredibly like Godspeed.... in fact it sounds a cross between Godspeed and Tindersticks fronted by Nick Cave or something. ie gothy sounding vocals over big post rock thing. I haven't heard anyone do the Godspeed thing as well as these guys so that is to be commended. The last track is an awful lot like Michael Gira's Angels Of Light. It's fantastic in fact! I like the fact they wear vintage railway uniforms on stage. Easily the best thing I've heard on Fierce Panda in donkeys..... You need this in your life!
