What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Clinton feeling unmoved.

First up is ebay favourites Guillemots. Now you'd have been forgiven for thinking their last single was good by the way it flew off the shelves. In fact it became a nice little earner for anyone who bought it as within weeks it was fetching £80 plus. Bonkers. After being mentally scarred by the Kenny G isms of the last single it was with some trepidation that we approached this new one. But for an old 80's sophisticated pop fan like me its a bit of a treat. It sounds exactly like 3rd album era Aztec Camera with bits of Prefab Sprout, Wah! The Waterboys and The Kane Gang thrown in............or think about the exact mid point between Matt Bianco and Mercury Rev. A well crafted pop tune with a completely unnecessary big band style brass section that will have Jools tinkling away on the old Joanna on their inevitable appearance on his 'Later' show. The B side has hints of Arcade Fire but is overly long and self indulgent (drop the sax solos guys). On Fantastic Plastic

About the humble 10":

The 10" sits somewhere in between the 7" and 10" (kind of like a wierd cousin). This awkward variant exists for no other reason aside from to be different from it's other family members. It can provide less music than a 12" but more than a 7". It's almost like a budget 12" or a posh 7". Either way it's wierd and it needs sorting out. Maybe it's quirkyness has helped it carry on defying all rules and convention? Importantly though it plays at a multitude of speeds so it is still quintessentially a total bargain (albeit a total freak of a bargain).
