Yo,
I listened to 'Jump Leads' a few days ago in a shop and was pretty
unimpressed, but I haven't really liked anything they've done since
Powerclown/Black Market Gardening (whichever was last). However, if you've
enjoyed the past few albums - you said you had them all- then I'm pretty
sure you'll appreciate this one, as it follows on from the progressions thay
have made in them, i.e. a leaning more towards a 'live/organic' sounding
style of production and more emphasis in the funk side of things. They have
done 5 songs with a vocalist (male) on it, so I'd say this also adds to the
more traditionally rockist leanings on it.
There's a good interview in last month's Jockey Slut, which includes a fair
bit of info on the album. It might be archived somewhere - perhaps someone
else on the list could help you track it down. There's also a favourable
review in the same issue.
Personally, I think it would be hard for pretty much anyone to top 'Maim
That Tune'; there are so many good songs on that album, and Bill Hicks too -
'A Zed And 2 L's' is magnificent.
Hope this helps,
Ol' Pops.
