CD Reviews

Soothing melodies reminisce of Monaco or New Order

Jeff L. Painter Jr. | Cary, NC United States | 03/08/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

" I first listened to this album a couple of years ago when it was still fairly new. I pulled it back out again recently, some four years later, and unlike a lot of popular music, it hasn't lost it's charm or that great British sexiness.. I've always enjoyed the likes of New Order, later Monaco and Erasure. If you enjoy these bands then I think you might give the Lightning Seeds a chance!"

Music to make the heart sing!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm giving this 2-cd set 4 stars (instead of 5) because I wasn't intoxicated by EVERY song, although I do like them all. I feel this is a good value for the price. All the songs are good, but my two FAVORITE songs in this set are "Lucky You" (Jollification) and "Like You Do" (Dizzy Heights). I've played these two songs especially heavily, because they fill me with feelings of elation (they're aural uppers)! It figures that both of these songs are results of Ian Broudie's collaboration with Terry Hall, whose music I dearly love (I assume the same Terry Hall of The Specials, Colourfield, and Fun Boy Three fame). I recently heard "Lucky You" on BBC 6 Radio (on the web) and I was hooked within seconds. I had to own it immediately. Of course, when I found out that Jollification was "unavailable" in the U.S., that whetted my appetite further. Ian creates music that is cheery without being sappy or corny. Happy, happy, happy!"
