The Jook presented themselves for all the period of their breve life with Lonsdale plushes or striped shirts, boxing and Doc Martens boots or mocassins, harringtons, and a cut mod that remembers the first Jam. Their powerful sound the one to the Slade and has supported bands what: Faces, Sweet, Genesis. The sound could imagine it and 70's rock well played and with a powerful draught, but without never expire to the American, in short much Englishman, and also here almost that this band preannounces the new and vigorous of punkmod rock. A ring of conjunction that makes understand like the movement it have not ever died not even during the grungy 70's. Recommended above all to the lovers of the '79!!!

Circulus Clocks are like people RiseAbowe Rec. CD/LP

This band of "old freaks,"it is to their second I work dated '06. The disk contains 9 songs, very calmer and folk, it of the first affected in the preceding work and they have played English '800 style, a little bit like the Pentangle crossed with the Affinity, two slow groups 60's first 70's. We could put them in the psichedelia but they would result too much folk, and not even in the progressive because they know still of group pop corn. In short they have that peculiarity of satisfy a little bit all the tastes, a kind of Belle Sebastian ( folk pop corn Scottish for the less adjourned in subject), but with an aftertaste more psych!! in short, if you find them listen to you them attentively, I am not of easy impact. However recommended to the estimators of all those slow sounds 60.

The Hammersith Gorillas gorilla got me BigBeat Rec. CD

This formation of street rock'n'roll comes compiled in this cd, with all the handful of individuals that has done, more songs never first edition and a live of 7 songs in the '76, to the Mont Marson, first punkrock international festival. They are 22 songs between '74 and '76 (plus never printed), and one single of the '81. I have wanted to review she, despite the already old date of printing of the work ('99), because, beyond to have it found I sole now, the components of the band came all from the original Mod scene of the first 60's. Particularly their leader: Jesse Hector, which has moved the his first footsteps of the musical scene of Soho playing skiffle to the 21's Coffee cafe. Become guitarist to only 15 years has begun to be a part of the London Mod elite, and they has seen the first concerts of [mod bands the Small Faces and the John's Children, from which they has taken the influences for his disposition and future musical style, also loving, the style of the clothes more particular mod. They has formed the legendary Mod band The Clique (reprinted in vinyl limited 500 copies on Dig The Rec fuzz.), then copied in the name, from the group years '90 fully grown from Paul Newman and Philip Otto (that they have affected 2 albums and any individuals on Rec Detour.). Ed finally forming toward the '69, rebellious and evocative bands of the Fastis 60's, from the name: Skelter helter or Crushed Butler. Their haircut remembers the backcomb mod, naturally exasperated the period glam of the first 70's; their position of punkpop would not do them surely disfigure revival of the '79 in the period of the mod, in short an icon for 2 generations, that Mod and that rock!!

Charles wright and the Watts You're so beautiful WaterRec.CD

When it in the '70 Charles has entered the studies of recording, it has given the nation a new type of groove: maintaining a strong vein soul, it has imported a sound that, I don't sole have become something of classical of the zone Californian south, but that a trade-mark stays of what the funk would have stayed that it characterized all the 70's. With: "Express yourself" it has given life to a funky, with inserted a soul, much style Otis Redding. In the seven songs that compose the album, to pulls feels the strong vein of the soul ballads of the 60's and other they have a stronger nod 70's of it. We could tell however that this stays one of the few dated jobs 1971 that it hears again still of the culture of the artists of the preceding decade. Not evil, but not fundamental.

It results an interesting work, because also if printed in the '70 play 60's still. In short, it in poor words is a psychrock with an aftertaste much freakbeat. The singer David Paramor, any is the producer and the arranger of the texts and it in any passages already feels the sound of the his new band, the Uraiah Heep. Any passages are really acidrock, but in the complex the disk results of good person I listen to and of easy impact. If you are able to it find, the counsel to all the lovers of the white sound!

I must tell that the other two is not regretted at all, because this disk plays exactly like if you listened to a band of psichpop of the '67. The pieces are 12 more a bonus track (Persephone), that any differentiates a little bit the run of the album. This CD has stayed auto caused from the band and given birth to after varied concerts and made recordings asunder, in the arc of the year '06. The because their return is obvious it is for the grain, that for infuse in all the Joined Kingdom the peace and the love that the Indian divinities should have, before go off the "martial law" and that the brains of the English come fed of "chips" from part of mass media. At least this is the explanation to the inside of the [booklet], sincerely I recommend it because the boys have matured of much, after the flop of the Jivas (powerpop band of scarce success) from part of Mills that of the arrival of new members in the aboriginal band.

They in the 1969 have decided to go to Paris changing the name of the band and putting "One" at the end, but changing the draught of their sound above all, taking sprouts from the last Moody Blues or the first Bee Gees and using a sung very personal with any interventions of arcs and semi-acoustic guitars causing a sound really much british. They feel atmospheres from Saturday to the pub here waiting the game, or afternoons with the "beautiful" in any café of Portobello, drinking tea with the pastries. In short the lack of the will have stayed "native Country," or the maturity in "exile," but this band has developed a worthy sound of the pioneers of the first "british rock."

And it is quite the drummer, Demetrio, who through his Purple Mod Cult and Beat Club (that is, his rosticceria: tell us the truth!) he is responsible of this strange compilation. Strange because he picks up a beautiful little of songs of the they first disk (gone out in the 80 for Electric Eye), skipping the (rarer from see around) second album or the they seminal only 45 turns. To round the compilation three passages unpublished live. Three cover of Them ( "Gloria"), Tommy James& Shondells ( "Mony, Mony") and Animals ( "I'm Crying"). If not other is dealt with a cd useful per who doesn't have still listened to never the band, or it has not retrieved vinyls or reprints in cd of the years 90 of it. But there could expect very more, holding the vastness of the material unpublished of the band and the quantity of images that they could give place to a artwork in account a little bit more beautiful or, as less, professional. Certainly, the economic price testifies the lack of pretensions and underlines the utility of power of it retrieve quickly, and without huge expenses, part of the repertoire of a band that told much and whose memory is not canceled.

Gli originali - Dave Gibbons - MagicPressComics - Vertigo

This comic strip is the classical history of love, hate, women, tablets and brawls, what a so much copy of Quadrophenia and that so much likes to the young modernists. The original stays in the fact that the protagonists are in a hypothetical future and rides of the hoovervespe and they have of the trench that vaguely resemble to of the parkas. Not evil also if all added there is not a big imagination in the history, the sketches however I am very beautiful and if there understands of go in any bookstore we I recommend it correct for complete your collection on the documents devoted to the mods.

This new label (I thought Spanish), has set the reprint in action of all artists jazz of the panorama hammond-piano-groove. In This case this cd proposes us the 2 album more cool and groovy of Willette: Bheind. Like the homonym title of the disk and Mo-Rock, both of the '64.

Absolutely from have!

The Mirwood soul story vol. 2 - kent records - cd

In the February of the 2005 has gone out the vol. 1 that to it as seems spreads out through a fanatical harvest of 45 like this label from los Angeles, it has influenced the scene northern in U.K. After varied complaints of other artists through e-mails, to Ady Croasdell, compiler of the kent rec., it has been arrived this second volume, that there tells more details all the known artists or less that discography has affected for this house, enough think that there is past also a young White berry for understand that a little record label. It is dealt with all pieces for the more northern, but it are not also disdained passages of soul mid time. All added I recommend it only to the fanatics of the kind, nothing of maddish in short.

The Urges, demo

I premise of have them two times from the alive, Gothenborg and Lavarone, and I without shade of doubt could tell that they break really!. .crudi, direct, wild and noisy, a garage band with the balls. This demo contains three pieces, it aint right, the urges' theme and you dont look know good, the first piece presents the band for what it is emanate the frustration of five Irish boys grown between desolate suburbs and beers of scarce quality, anfe from two money and broken muscles!. .il their marshy is sound and strongly influenced from the primitive surf of link wray and davie allan, like show the second trace, while it in the third passage feels that they have consumed gravedigger five and mummies!!. The boys have the correct numbers! a mouthful of cool air in this made world of disco people from Nme and plastic band!

Chest: What’s The Problem With Modern Youth? (Bip-Bip)

New Spanish devoted band to the power pop mod 79 with so much of Albert Gil ([ex-Brighton] 64, ex- Matamala) to the guitar. Three cover: Big Star, Squire and Los Angeles Brincos, and six own passages to the insignia of the years '80 mod doesn't reach however the desired quality. By now too much band has proposed some sounds and perhaps una should be demanded march in more.

The Men: Return (Playground)

From Sweden a band that, to it as seems, already go out any year ago with an other disk and to judge from the photo of cover (similar to "Electric Fit" of the Prisoners) it doesn't come down to the of under of the thirty of years for component. This "Return," published from the pages of Jamboree, perhaps in a way a little bit excessive, it picks up different influences specifically tied up to the british mod years 60: R& B, Beat, e a touch soul. A compacted sound, elegant, a little bit cold but professional that, without insufficient being, nothing doesn't have from envy to band what Moving Sounds or Canary Sect.

Moving Sounds Ground shaker Copasetic records lp

This 100% Mod band from Stoccolma proposes us one of the sounds more 60's groove than there they are in circulation to today. The new job is a little bit more mature than the first; well played and arranged and recorded state in one of the studies more 60's and analogical of all the times, the ToeRag from London. The disk contains eleven songs of soulfulbeat of which four covers: get yourself togehter, igor the dog, all good things and you have I. There are not words that are worth the quality of the sound that is listened to. .bisogna absolutely have it!!
