Auteurs, The - How Could I Be Wrong - 12-Dec-06 11:10 PM
Generally as far as B-sides and The Auteurs are concerned it's a mixed bag and that's exactly what we have here, 2 unreleased tracks; one great and the other less so.
'High Diving Horses' could easily have made it to the 'New Wave' album (although may have fit better on the 1994 follow up 'Now I'm A Cowboy'), it's a punchy acoustic number filled with Luke Haines' trade mark lazy lead lines and cheeky bongos, coupled with the usual Haines style half snarl/half whisper vocals.
'Wedding Day' however is pure cheese. It's not a bad track as such just a little laboured. It doesn't have any of the power or depth that you come to expect of The Auteurs. Haines just doesn't seem interested as his vocals often feel like they've been forced out and nearly disappear into nothingness.
Not one really to concern yourself with unless you're an Auteurs fan, but that said, 'High Diving Horses' is a great track.

Auteurs, The - Showgirl - 12-Dec-06 11:10 PM
Three track blinding debut single.
Title track 'Showgirl' is a great way to announce your arrival on the music scene, it's larger than life intro quickly giving way to one the catchiest under-the-radar releases of the indie rock scene of the early nineties.
'Glad To Be Gone' has more nervous tension than is surely healthy.
'Staying Power' still sounds as great today as it did back in 92. Luke Haines' vocals have rarely sounded as good as they do here.
Anyone know who John Foster is?

Company Flow - Little Johnny From The Hospitul - 09-Nov-06 02:20 AM
An instrumental Hip Hop album!
Not quite as bizzare as it sounds, seemingly you could record yourself rapping along and send it to Company Flow (what they did with these recordings is anyone's guess).
More than likely, there were problems in the band and El-P released the record without lyrics on purpose, either way a great record and worth checking out.

Ulver - Blood Inside - 08-Nov-06 02:48 AM
I bought this cuz I thought it was something different, what a pleasant surprise I had in store for me...
Expecting it to be ear splitting black metal from Norway, this caught me unaware... A beautifully produced album with so much depth that each listen heralds a new and exciting experience.
This should be viewed as a modern prog masterpiece and tracks 'For The Love Of God' and 'Christmas' stand out as beautiful and moving prog epics condensed into bite sized portions.
The vocals have been produced in a dreamy way and they take a back seat to layer upon layer of instrumental collages.
Unexpected and often unpredictable, this album slipped under the radar, but in years to come this will be a classic... Don't wait until then.

Jimi Tenor - Intervision - 07-Nov-06 04:48 PM
The most underated artist from WARP's back catalogue has all the right moves on this sleazy, downtempo, backalley scrapbook.
The album kicks off with 'Outta Space' an uber camp acid trip which lures you into a hypnotic, drug fuelled false sense of security. All this before 'Sugardaddy' uses and abuses with it's sleaziness, it'll leave you needing a hot shower.
Other highlights include the pimpy 'Caravan' and the excellent 'Atlantis'.
Worth a listen for sure, although be warned it's not everyone's cup of tea.
