What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Phil feeling unmoved.

Kid Acne's new album 'Romance Ain't Dead' is here and if you fancy a bit of Northern fuelled lo fi crazy hip hop then this is your guy. Part of thinks he's completely rubbish but I think I'm just in that sort of mood today.... Ask me tomorrow and I might think it's OK. It's got some catchy bits on it though. I can't help but feel it's all a bit novelty though. I'm undecided.... I'll go and play it more....

What the label says:

Sheffield’s Kid Acne releases his debut album for a major label, with support building from key hip hop press into mainstream.The first ever UK rap album on Lex Records!   Includes the singles ‘Eddy Fresh’, ‘Worst Luck’ (“One of the singles of the year” - Artrocker) and ‘Sliding Doors’.   The album features production by Fat Truckers (of M.I.A. fame).  “Chock-full of brilliant deadpan gobbiness set to smart old school beats” - Observer Music Monthly.“Thirty minutes of witty, touching and totally boombastic music. Fingers crossed this could be a springboard to achieving notoriety on a national scale” – Fact.    “If you don’t have a copy by now you’re deaf, an idiot, poor or all of these. That’s all I’ll say on the matter” – HHC

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.
