Comment:
I have to admit that before listening to this set of 6 tracks I have
heard nothing of these artists. The first impression of mine was
visual and it was very funny – by watching this blurred cover print
it was something like collaborating men behind the mixing desk, one
of them looking like Chuck Norris, and another like Johnny Marr (a
young Johnny Marr, in fact). Why not – both of them are outstanding
persons. Just the most intriguing question is – who will knock down
and win? However, the collaborative act does not remind of the doing
of The Smiths (the best combo having ever been existed under God’s
sight) but is related to a style of which The Smiths is being
associated. Indeed, it is post-punk, one of the most seminal styles
for all times, which in turn was a godchild of Krautrock. At Ten
Four, and Eight Two Oh Eight the influences of atmospheric
guitar by Vini Reilly (Durutti Column) can be discerned. The latter
one is more rhythm-oriented either, though. And the result
rhythmically is very catchy. Ring Finger is another
astonishing glimpse into enchanting world of flickering guitars and
mechanical rhythms. Be Home At Dark might be the most
expressive track due to its thudding programmed beats but on the
other way it reconstructs a pathway of post-punk music because of
embracing elements which did have evolve from the embodiment of
post-punk. The mother meets her derivatives. In a word, this is
grreeeaaaat! Being a part of a platform with a funny (again!) name,
Believe in Billy Records.
