 Julian Cope does a much better review of this album than I could ever do :) It's funny because when I first played this album I went straight for Cha Cha 2000 with total excitement, and couldn't believe my ears. All of the soul had been stripped out and it was just weak and disapointing. That influenced the way I felt about the rest of the album, and I didn't play it again for a while. (Though I had bought 3 other KD albums at the same time so I had plenty to keep me occupied. When I played it again, it began to grab me and I have now listened to it a lot. It's a great album, although I still have to run for the FF button when it gets to CHA CHA :) Mon Amour is total La Dusseldorf and has some nice production, but my faves are definately Neondian, America and Jag Alskar Dig. As Julian says the lyrics on America are totally bold and scathing, it's got great energy and reminds me of Public Image (the track), not that I'm saying it was an influence :) Buy the album from Captain Trip Records at: http://www.captaintrip.co.jp/cpttrip-0/a_ia.html You can also find distrubutors selling Captain Trip stuff on ebay from time to time. |
