Ey up, this sounds vaguely familiar to me…
Hmmm… Being on a major label…
In my bizarre experience, [...]

‘My Mood’ opens with the cess-hymn ‘Get High’ and I don’t know why cos I think it’s one of the weakest tracks on the album, both lyrically and musically. I mean, it’s *okay*, it gets your head nodding and there’s nice plinking [...]

Okay, I’m being a completist here as I have most of these tracks on various Richman comps but I had to buy this CD when I saw it. It’s billed as the original band with tracks recorded in session with Kim Fowley [...]

Now, this might not be the newest Kid606 CD (though it’s new to me) cos I can’t find a date on the bugger anywhere, apart from a 99-00. Still, compared with some electronic releases, I’m just glad it’s got a [...]

This is a very lovely four track single.
The first track, ‘kid for today’ starts with soft organish chords, some thwacking and a squodgy bass drum. Then a very BoC melody comes in, very low and understated. To be honest, I’d love BoC [...]

This is another AT comp featuring 30 tracks for about a fiver, depending where you buy it (it’s got ‘Pay no more than $5.99′ on the front).
There’s a wide mix of artists and genres on here and along with the [...]

I just bought this taking a risk, never having heard of either Mr. Rock or Mush. I’m pleasantly surprised. I guess musically the tracks sound like Premier in terms of jazzness and starkness. But they’re not copies, [...]

Yeah, it’s dead old, ‘77 *rock’n’roll* but I haven’t heard some of these tracks in years and I’ve forgotten how much they, er, kick ass! There’s not a duff track on here, they all have choruses to kill for and splendid [...]

As it states on the back, this is a recording made at the NOU, er, Embassy in 1992 and it sounds pretty much like a live, room-reverby recording so don’t expect Limp Bizkit production values. But do expect noisy, pumping, shouty, unintelligible agit-prop [...]
