UK Musicsearch reviews - November 2007
THE GO! TEAM - WRATH OF MARCIE
"WRATH OF MARCIE delivers all the feel good pure pop thrills and amphetamine fuelled deliciousness that you could ever wish for "
THE DANIELS - LIGHTS
"LIGHTS is a crushingly average sounding single from The Daniels, decent enough as things stand, but hardly anything worth getting very excited about. "
ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPULSES - ALIENS LIKE LIGHTENING
"A compelling and darkly hypnotic release, ALIENS LIKE LIGHTENING is an impressive sounding development from Electromagnetic Impulses and one that encourages further investigation. "
SMITH 6079 - KILL ROMEO
"A band offering a dark, evil sounding spin on punk rock, Smith 6079 deliver a single in KILL ROMEO that suggests them an outfit you'll be hearing plenty more about."
MILLIMETRE - MILLIMETRE
"Millimetre with their second album OBSIDIAN they seem to be comfortable sleepwalking their way through this safe haven "
JAMES HARA - TAKE US THE FOXES
"It's this middle ground between the magical and the dull that ultimately lends TAKE US TO THE FOXES a slightly forgettable and dreary air "
THE UNDERTONES - DIG YOURSELF DEEP
"a perfectly decent comeback from The Undertones, sure the band may lack that early spark and spirit, but as a collection of creditable pop punk songs, this is an album that certainly gets the job done. "
BI-POLAR BABY - SUICIDE GIRL
"Bi-Polar Bay deliver an intense blast of throbbing indie rock noise here with SUICIDE GIRL. "
STILL EXISTING - 2:1
"Still Existing sound like a band for whom only some more time, honing and experience will see the difference between promising and great. "
NEPHU HUZZBAND - PAPERS EP
" Nephu Huzzband may not exactly stamp any marks of originality or innovation on affairs here, but make a damn fine noise all the same. "
THE WHIP - SISTER SIAM
"A disappointing release from The Whip that only shows fleeting glimpses at their usual new rave genius "
TOTO - FALLING IN BETWEEN LIVE
"FALLING IN BETWEEN is pretty much what you'd expect from a double live album from the 2007 line up of Toto "
CAGE THE ELEPHANT - FREE LOVE
"Refreshingly noisy and rough around the edges stuff "
KT TUNSTALL - SAVING MY FACE
"SAVING MY FACE hardly marks any groundbreaking new direction for KT Tunstall, but for pleasant rootsy pop thrills, you could do a lot worse. "
CIRCUITS - CITY OF LIGHTS
"another catchy single that'll surely see them prick up a few fresh new ears along the way. "
PLANS & APOLOGIES - MEETOO
"An outfit already sporting a fine line in twisted pop genius "
ELEVATOR SUITE - THE WHEEL
"THE WHEEL is a dull and unengaging affair that feels dated and far too caught up its own sense of self importance to entertain. "
WILBURNSILVER - THIS IS YOUR LIFE
"a single unfortunately a little too forgettable and dull to really impress."
BUZZCOCKS - 30
"a snapshot of the Buzzcocks as a fully functioning live band, who still sound as vital and energised as ever "
JUSTICE - D.A.N.C.E.
"D.A.N.C.E. may well be the finest thing Justice have ever done "
FOREVER WEDNESDAY - FOREVER WEDNESDAY
"as an example of the screamo genre Forever Wednesday make all the right noises in all the right places and as such, the best of luck to them. "
GROOVE ARMADA - GROOVE ARMADA 10 YEAR STORY: FROM THE VAULTS 1997-2007
"Stick to the Andy Cato half of the deal and Groove Armada deliver an intoxicating and languid journey into sound here. "
JOHNNY FLYNN AND THE SUSSEX WIT - THE BOX
"Engaging and imbued with a timeless charm, THE BOX finds Johnny Flynn And The Sussex Wit on quirkily impressive form. "
BROTHERS OF A FEATHER - LIVE AT THE ROXY DVD
"breathing life and passion into every note here with the authentic feel of a duo who live and breath rock n roll every second. "
GOD LOVE YOU FOR A LIAR
"God Love You For A Liar make an impressive first impression with HOLDING YOU IS LIKE KEEPING WATER IN MY HANDS."
GROOVE ARMADA - GREATEST HITS
"GREATEST HITS is a very much hit and miss affair that never really truly satisfies."
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - THE DARJEELING LIMITED
"THE DARJEELING LIMITED much more the perfect accompaniment to the film rather than an essential standalone piece."
THE NIGHTJARS - TOWARDS LIGHT
" there's a strong suggestion that The Nightjars could well transform into something much more intriguing and special with a touch more time and evolution."
THE WOMBATS - A GUIDE TO LOVE, LOSS & DESPERATION
"Infectious three minute pop goodness, The Wombats makes no attempts to revolutionise the genre with A GUIDE TO LOVE, LOSS & DESPERATION "
OJOS DE BRUJO - TECHARI LIVE
"TECHARI LIVE is a near essential purchase for anyone with even a passing interest in world music or for that matter good music in general."
ASIA - FANTASIA LIVE IN TOKYO DVD
"FANTASIA LIVE IN TOKYO is an ultimately niche release that will only really be of interest to Asia's more hardened admirers. "
COWBOY JUNKIES - TRINITY REVISITED
"A true timeless classic given a glorious retelling "
SPEKTRUM - FUN AT THE GYMKHANA CLUB / DEATH AT THE GYMKHANA CLUB
"if only Spektrum could exercise a little more quality control and taste next time round, this could be a band truly worth caring about. "
THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA - LIVE AT MONTREUX 1974 & 1984 DVD
"A release surely only for the real diehard fans of the band "
BASSBOOSA - BASSBOOSA
"With a talented vocalist in Jasmine and the occasional glimpse of originality amongst the by-the-numbers trip hop and folk here, this is a band with enormous potential "
JILL SCOTT - THE REAL THING WORDS AND SOUNDS VOL. 3

JOHNNY FOREIGNER - ARCS ACROSS THE CITY
"ARCS ACROSS THE CITY is a collection of songs guaranteed to delight, surprise and engage"
STORY ONE - THE SHADOW LINE
"THE SHADOW LINE is an occasionally patchy but on the whole superb affair that deserves your attention "
ANDREW WEATHERALL - SCI-FI-LO-FI
"Andrew Weatherall, a DJ skilled in bringing together long forgotten classics and reinjecting them with a modern day cool "
CANTALOOP - BROTHERHOOD
"BROTHERHOOD, a slick slice of smooth pop that whilst not the most thrilling of prospects is nevertheless extremely well done "
CLAIRE TOOMEY - FOUND
"Sounding like someone on the verge of very big things, FOUND is Claire Toomey standing on the precipice of stardom; a confident, powerful sounding single "
MÚM - GO GO SMEAR THE POISON IVY
"GO GO SMEAR THE POISON IVY is the sound of múm back to their usual sublime form, a menagerie of the strange, beautiful and ultimately surreal "
PALEDAY - EUROTRAMP
"An ultimately forgettable and pretty dull sounding single, EUROTRAMP is a less than stellar introduction to Paleday. "
CHUCK PROPHET - SOAP AND WATER
"SOAP AND WATER is a healthy indication that Chuck Prophet still maintains his place as a genius singer/songwriter "
AMY SPEACE - SONGS FOR BRIGHT STREET
"SONGS FOR BRIGHT STREET is a mesmerising, intoxicating affair "
MICK JAGGER - VERY BEST OF
"Whilst its easy to dismiss Mick Jagger as a solo artist, there are moments here that have the ability to completely revise your opinion "
CYNIC GURU - DRUGS

THE CUTTERS - SAVIOUR
"SAVIOUR is impressive sounding stuff from The Cutters that certainly bodes well for their future "
CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY - AGAIN
"Hatherley's sugar rush vocals are pitted against dance beats that verge on the cheesy, a balancing act that just about works, albeit not her finest moment. "
ANUSHA - ARE YOU READY
"ARE YOU READY is a solidly satisfying affair that heralds Anusha as someone capable of big things"
MADDING CROWD - TURN OFF THE RADIO
"Madding Crowd possess an air of enthusiasm and energy that comes like a breath of fresh air "
SEBASTIAN TELLIER, MR OIZO AND SEBASTIAN - MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE STEAK

THE HUMAN VALUE - PUSH AND PULL
"A more ferocious, complex and intense experience this time round "
HOLY FUCK - HOLY FUCK
" Holy Fuck making a gloriously messy and shambolic noise here, dance music shot through with the spirit of sludge rock "
AMYCANBE - BEING A GROWN-UP SURE IS COMPLICATED
"A remarkable voice in Francesca Amati and an intoxicating clutch of wonderful songs "
TOM MIDDLETON - LIFETRACKS
"LIFETRACKS sounds like a masterwork in downtempo jazz; a chilled out work of wonderment, a work marking Tom Middleton out as a master of subdued majesty "
ELEKTRONS - CLASSIC CLICHÉ
"CLASSIC CLICHÉ is a single that finds the dance duo as an unstoppable force to be reckoned with "
