IAN McNABB - Truth And Beauty
Ian McNabb's group The Icicle Works played second fiddle throughout the
early and mid-'80s to fellow atmospheric, post-punk popsters The Teardrop Explodes and Echo and the Bunnymen. With Truth And Beauty, McNabb earns a place at the front of the orchestra. McNabb's cozy-fireplace vocals are finally layered right up front in the mix where they belong. The epic, 7-minute title track moves through tempos and emotions with raw, gorgeous yearning. Unfortunately, the spartan production relies on drum "programming."
