Title: SONG WRITING !
Product review: IMHO there is a difference between "song writing" and "sound making". Over the last two decades, technology has helped lots of bands to concentrate on the latter, creating impressive sound atmospheres/ambients which, more often than not, covered up (or tried to) the fact that the songs per se were rather plain, even mediocre, when stripped to the core. (e.g. anybody remember Frankie goes to Hollywood ? those guys were state-of-the-art...in their year...). And along comes the Brit-duo Turin Breaks with their debut blowaway; 12 gems of purest folk pop, broken down to its essentials: SOONG WRIITING ! And nothing but ! Eat your heart out, Travis !Ladies, gentlemen: 2/3 of this album are instant pop classics, as strong as they come. The rest is "only" very good. Real pity (well, really) that they will be ignored. At least, for the time being...Eagerly awaiting their next effort.Sparrowhawk
