What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Clinton feeling happy.

New CD from Serena Maneesh from Norway. Now the first song on here is one of the best things I've heard all year. The perfect combination of Brian Jonestown Massacre, My Bloody Valentine and Lush. A shoegaze anthem that never was. Fantastic, thrilling stuff. Living proof that music still has the ability to make my legs go all wobbly. So good in fact that they re-use the melody in the third song......and therein lies the problem. This album starts off like an express train  - the first three songs are great and you really think you're delving into a modern classic. But once you get deeper into the album the melodies start dissipating and the guitar solo's become more frequent as the band start to run out of ideas. There's still some marvellous Can like jams and a truly lovely My Bloody Valentine style (dare I say the word) ballad about half way through that will knock your socks clean 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.
