Ghostly texture augmented by the enthusiastic, very tribal drumming of Brian Noel. Bassist Tim Taylor grounds singer/guitarist Olivia Block’s silky whisper.
Thicket strays even further into Floydian territory and is soothing and groovable because of it. Good zoning-out rock, but kinda unremarkable otherwise.
4 remixes of “Policestate,” 2 covers of KMFDM’s “Godlike,” and a marching anthem “Birmingham 6.” The remixes vary from electro/industrial to frantic techno.
Edwyn Collins is a consummate performer, and he writes wonderful songs as well. He’s just as good on stage as he is on record, and that suits me just fine.
He sang the songs from Outside, the soundtrack to a diary not yet complete. He made the connection between the misery of NIN and the whirling life around us.
