Section 25 - Always Now

If not entirely for music, this record is worth having for the cover art alone. Well, depends on the personal taste (or lack of it). A strict yellow typographic outfront with amazing colourful pallette inside, it's a work of genius.

The music itself leans heavily towards Joy Division but don't be fooled by such connotations. Section 25 are not perfect but they charmingly fit in with their shades of grey - sounding naively smart and innocent, confirming their debut's musical identity.

The sound is raw, typically Hannett-ish, the vocals at times fall out of tune but they still carry out the hermetical effect complementing the compositions - among the highlights is undoubtedly 'New Horizon'.

In all, it's an impressive atmospheric debut recommended for occasional, rewarding audio-visual experience.
