Reviewed: 2018-09-27 Genre: General FCCs: none Review: One of the great bands out of LA in the post-punk, late 80s era. This CD is a release of their first album in its entirety for the first time on CD & has several bonus tracks from the same era The band features ethereal vocals and sonic attack. i see no mention of a synth in the credits, so I have to assume the guitarist is using a device for these sounds. If You Like: Sisters Of Mercy, Luminous, Joy Division, This Mortal Coil Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Ghosts (6:39) – guitar starts> midtempo jam & song> slow fade **2/ Soil (7:00) – drums start> spoken word> midtempo jam>& song> guitar solo> fade 3/ Beneath The City Of Hedonistic Bohemians (4:40) – drums start> uptempo jam & song> guitar solo> quick stop 4/ I Glide (7:28) -guitar starts> uptempo jam & song> slow fade *5/ Mice & Coconut Tree (4:59) – bass starts> midtempo jam & song with drums up front> slow fade *6/ Misery Of Cities (5:49) – bass/guitar starts> uptempo jam & song> guitar solo> song>quick stop & long fade *7/ Smiling Monarchs (6:48) – guitar starts quiet & slow & builds into uptempo rocking jam with slow song over the top> guitar solo> quick stop 8/ Benways Carnival (5:12) – guitar starts> wild fast jam & song> fade 9/ Switch (4:52) – guitar starts> uptempo bouncy jam & song> quick fade *10/ Other Side Of The Fence (4:09) – drums start> slow ethereal jam> slowly builds inv volume & fades **11/ They Said Tomorrow (5:09) – bass starts slow & builds into uptempo jam & song> fade *12/ Wildflower (4:18) - > uptempo jam & song> guitar solo> crescendo end 13/ John’s Pop (3;15) – drums start> uptempo jam> quick fade 14/ Spaghetti Western (5:55) - crunchy guitar starts> midtempo jam & song> quick stop |
