I thought have well and truly finished with my series of posts on Flying Nun compilations since I made the rounds of all those in my possession. Yes but now I had not imagined that tiny and lost in its cardboard sleeve from hundreds of plastic cases of the ray discs at £ 1, I stumbled on this compilation from elsewhere that I had never seen before.
This is a compilation of the catalog Flying Nun of 1995, which has the great advantage of having absolutely no basis in common with all those I had already. There is nothing written on it but I was wondering if it was a commercially available disk or CD promo. An advertisement of the time gave me the answer: this disc limited edition was sold cheap, but it was also offered a promotion to buyers of the three editions of Flying Nun in September 1995. There was also a tour Flying Nun in Australia under the banner The Sound Is Out There , which refers X Files to .
There is not a bad track in the lot. The sound is diverse but the style of pop-rock that made the label famous in the 80s is not very far, except in a reconfiguration with a little folky Sweet angel of Magick Heads, which is not surprising as a member of the group is Robert Scott (The Clean, The Bats). There are also removable Chris Knox, who managed a faultless as always with just his voice, a drum machine and a guitar for saturated Half Man Half mole.
Overall, the groups have a heavier sound, as with the excellent Garageland Pop cigar, which opens the album, Bailterspace, or Superette Loves Ugly Children with punky Messing Things Up . Snapper Hammerhead sign with a success story in a style Jesus and Mary Chain in drum machine. There is a trend rather marked post-rock, which is reinforced by the groups 'international' signed under license by Flying Nun in the Antipodes: Labradford, with a title a little soft knee which for me is the weakest of the lot; Stereolab, with a very good and energetic Farfisa , sung in French, which has the good taste to stop after two minutes when we expected that the group left in a trance for a quarter of an hour, and finally the surprise Cul de Sac with The postponement Kim Parker, a title to the PIL extracted from a compilation of demos and rehearsal tapes. It is not too surprised to learn that the group has collaborated with Faust. A little more knowledge they have done the same with John Fahey ! The distinction
" My favorite track on Disc " is attributed to an instrumental, 76 comeback King Loser, an anthology of surf garage, a cross between Lucifer Sam and Jonathan Fire * Eater that reminds me of course The Whole World is turning Brouchard! and is perfectly in place in the same catalog Fish The Clean . Well, good Madam Flying Nun, and the next perhaps, who knows?
