Golden Greats

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Ian Brown

Release Date December 23, 2002
I cannot put into words the love I have for this album. It is just so perfectly produced. The lyrical content is relatively simple, but well thought out, The music is enduring and so beautifully layered. I can listen to it over and over again and it never grows tiresome. Ian never follows the crowd - he sets his own agenda and does what he wants and this makes for some truly astonishing pop music. If only one british band/group/solo artist brought out an album that was as good as this every year I would be happy, but unfortunatly we have to put up with the endless stream of drivel that passes for 'classic' British albums.

Nearly all other British artists are lazy and boring apart from Ian Brown and Thom Yorke.

Milk It - The Best of Death In Vegas

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Death In Vegas

Release Date February 07, 2005
Whilst the tracks from Dead Elvis and Scorpio Rising are probably apt with regards to the best ones from each album, to have more selections from these albums as opposed to The Contino Sessions is unfathomable! If you want the real best of, buy The Contino Sessions in it's entirety, their best work without doubt, near perfect from start to finish. The one track from this album I do not like much is Soul Auctioneer with Bobby Gillespie singing - I feel this song made it due to the guest vocal as opposed to the actual value of the song, which isn't very good.

Young Team

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Mogwai

Release Date October 27, 1997
I've only given this one listen through so far, and I've loved every bit of it so far. First stand-out track was Tracy, and it was only after listening to the sublime Mogwai Fear Satan that I was able to understand the luke-warm reviews of Mr. Beast. This is in my opinion their very best album.

Squirrel and G-Man

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Happy Mondays

Release Date January 04, 2000
Squirrel & G-Man was the Monday's debut released on Manchester's Factory records in 1987. John Cale (Velvet Underground) is on production duties, presumably because of the Velvet's drug history going hand in hand with the Monday's renowned intake.

The album displays a crude funk reminiscent of post punk funksters such as Gang of Four and A Certain Ratio. Cale concentrates on developing the funk by bringing the drums and bass to the front. What sets this album apart is the Ryder brothers Paul & Shaun. Shaun's guttersniping one-liners are well known and deserve all the credit they get but older sibling Paul's bass lines make the record listenable.

A couple of tracks let the side down but Tart Tart is as good as ... Read More:

Can't beat the originals but there are some great alternatives on here, especially the two versions of Waterfall. Certainly one for the collection.

You Could Have It So Much Better [CD + DVD]

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Franz Ferdinand

Release Date October 03, 2005
I was curious to see if Franz Ferdinand could top their fantastic first album. I had no reason to worry... this album is as good as, if not better, than their first.

Their sound has matured so much since their debut album. I love the effective use of the rhythm section in their new songs. Everything is tighter somehow. You can feel the energy that makes this band so good live. The lyrics are wonderful especially in 'The Fallen' and 'Outsiders'. It's good to see Franz experimenting with different styles too... from pop 'Do you want to', to ballads 'Eleanor put your boots on', even some dance 'Outsiders'.

This is a fantastic album from start to finish. Well worth buying.

Turns Into Stone

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Stone Roses

Release Date July 16, 2001
ok its not the debut but it is freaking fantastic. Stone roses' debut was a master class in jangle pop and sing a long songs, second coming was a great release of hard rck n roll and catchy melodys and this is a combination of both. tracks like fools gold will always be classics and rightly so, but forggoten gems like what the world is waiting for and one love are pure roses.....by this only if youve heard debut and second coming, and if you enjoy either of them, you'll freak for this

Late Night Tales

CD-Charts > Music > British
by: Various Artists, Turin Brakes (Mixed By)

Release Date February 16, 2004
Absolutely loved this journey through music, I get bored with similar sounds on compilations and I have been absolutely rinsing this (I had lost it and found it, hence the four year late review!) Happy to have been introduced to Silver Jews and Smog; send in the clouds is a fabulous track. Brilliant just to chill to and make you feel very happy, I am a massive fan of guitar and crazy lyrics and soulful sounds, you really get it all here.
