Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In an about-face that will infuriate technophiles, this group of dance revisionists celebrate guitars and "real instruments" in the face of processed music. The Williams brothers and their mate Jim Goodwin first had a hit with the disco-charged "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)", but disillusionment with the Manchester scene set in, so they picked up guitars and formed Doves--a band determined to infuse raw emotion into music. From instrumental opener "Firesuite"--which showcases their rumbling, restrained guitar firepower--to the tumbling acoustic shanty "Sea Song", the Latin guitar lines of "The Man Who Told Everything", the balmy Technique-era New Order rocker "Catch The Sun" and the aqueous, soaring "Rise", none of the album's 11 tracks bear any real resemblance to each other. Doves have produced an outstanding debut album in Lost Souls, alternately melancholy and uplifting, sparkling darkly with charged atmospherics. --Mike Pattenden Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Thanks DovesI went to see Doves at 'The Southern' in Chorlton shortly before this came out. I was proud to be a fan. I love this album. Rating: - It Remains A StunnerI first heard this album while browsing the old Tower Records on Broadway and 67th St. in NYC. This would have been the summer of 2000. The staff had put it on before I came in and I started focusing on it when 'Rise'kicked in. I was transfixed. Listened to the rest of the album, rushed over to buy it, and played it nonstop for about 6 months. The last time an album had had that impact was when I had first heard the Stone Roses, about 10 years or so before that. It's a powerful and accessible album. Highly recommended. Rating: - Intense, uplifting, beautiful and emotionalFor me, this was album of the year in 2000, which when you assess the competition is a pretty impressive achievement. It's also a fantastic middle finger flick to all those wanky technophiles who bang out soul-less repetitive disposable dance, as the men behind this recording, reject the former, grab guitars and make real music; and sell some records as well. Intense, uplifting, beautiful and emotional are words you can't avopid using when listening to the Lost Souls. And there's a feast of quality guitar playing too, from instrumental opener "Firesuite" (distant, echoey, rumbling), "Sea Song"'s acoustic shanty, the Flamenco influenced "The Man Who Told Everything", the rocking single "Catch The Sun", complete with a guitar break (remember ... Read More: Rating:  - Impressive DebutLost Souls is a excellent debut from the best Manchester band ever. For once, we have three songwriters pouring ideas into every note and sound to create quite sounds unlike ever heard before. Main singer Jimi Goodwin's voice gives these songs a deep brooding that no other voice could evoke. Andy Williams creates sound spaces with his guitar that 3 guitarists can't match in Radiohead. Jez Williams anchors the trio with his driven but delicate drum sounds. Which would all be irrelevant if the trio couldn't write epic songs like 'The Cedar Room', 'Catch the Sun', and 'The Man Who Told Everything'. Ambitiously, they open with a dreamy instrumental track, which shows how Doves can draw you in with notes rather than voices. Further highlights include ... Read More: Rating: - The Best of the Three?, This is the first album by Doves, and is it the best? Hmmmm. As far as debuts go its the best since Oasis' Definitely Maybe I have owned this album for about 3 years and have constantly listened to it. It stayed in my cd player in my car throughout my 4th year of university. It is, put very simply, an amazing album. The listener will not be disappointed in any way, if they are a fan of top british guitar/indie rock. Lost Souls has everything you could ask for: rousing instrumental tracks (firesuite, reprise), feel good rock (The Cedar Room), chilled out mood tracks (break me gently, here it comes) familiar, chart tracks (catch the sun) and an amazingly eerie track to finish it off (a house). The only problem ... Read More: |
