What you say No-one has reviewed The Magic Numbers by The Magic Numbers yet. Give us your opinion on The Magic Numbers by The Magic Numbers. What the label says: The sound of The Magic Numbers revolves around the brilliant songwriting and guitar playing talents of singer Romeo. Born and raised in Trinidad (where his mother had her own opera show on TV) the family moved to New York when he was teenager and later moved again to Ealing in London. There he met drummer Sean and started making music. Consequently, these days the two are to be found sitting in the sound-proofed front room of the family’s terraced house, without natural light or air, surrounded by instruments, prolifically penning as yet unheard classics. To complete the core band line-up they added Romeo’s equally talented sister Michele on bass and vocals, while Sean’s sister Angela takes care of percussion, melodica and third vocals. Drawing inspiration from many sources, singer songwriters (Cohen, Dylan), 60’s harmony groups (Mamas & Papas, Lovin Spoonful), epic rock or such mavericks as David Axelrod. The band craft a sound which like Flaming Lips or Beck, is coming from everywhere but is uniquely theirs.

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.
