Anyone remember Blind Faith? Well this is the DIY equivalent, the
nearest DIY land ever got to a super group.Dennis Burns and Mark Perry
from ATV or The Good Missionaries,
Karl Blake from
The Lemon Kittens,and
The legend that is Nag,from
The Door and the Window. If that wasn't
enough,the sleeve was designed by Danielle Dax!
The music ,bizarrely
enough sounds like that of all the aforementioned bands,but....erm
...different. There's a hint of the pop song about it,and in this case
its a good thing, 'cus it works.A great album indeed,even the cover
version of Rocky Erickson's "Interpreter" is great, aided greatly by the
dulcet tones of Mark Perry.An overlooked classic of the genre
methinks.(click on the mp3 sample of tightrope walker for a taster)
