Modern Music Review
How many bands do you know that greatly have an impact in your ears, but unfortunately people don't know them well. It's been a bitter start of a review, but I'm with full of emotion. The emotion is purely created by music. This tenth anniversary re-release, by Spinney Records, is a two-disc set including additional B-sides, demo versions, alternative mixes. And this is a real treat for a music lover to get moody in a good way.
Ten quick years on, Jack's debut album sounds as urgent, ambitious, florid and heated as ever. Literary and cinematic, it nonetheless bulges and trembles with very real emotion. Sometimes it's wilfully wasted, heartbroken, forlorn. Other times it's buzzing at the prospect of another night ride into the busy city. It's loud with voices in its head, it's lonely in a crown. It's one of those rare British albums which suggests albums could be more, could be greater, richer, more telling and durable. With its melody, with its composing and instruments, Scott Walker-like passionate vocals and strong guitars.
Don't take my pen, this hands want to write, this ears want listen good music. This record encourages you listen more music. Supposing that Pioneer Soundtracks thanks to musicians that it influences, and taking its power from glamorous huge musicians like Lou Reed, David Bowie, Scott Walker... 'This is so music, this is white Jazz' Anthony Reynolds start singing in a very passionate style, drawing you into the music by power of words -- ' Some will age, some will die, but you, you and i, well we'll survive it all, yes we're above it all'. It's not only telling power of love, it is making you to feel the same way. Slow emotional and passionate guitar riffs perfectly represent with the well-written lyrics. This record is a plain example of a band which want to create its music eagerly. The songs never repeat the same, every song paints different colour of wonderful rich melodies.
Pioneer Soundtracks touches you throughout. It's one of the best records in the middle 90s, now it's remastered and still perfect. Release Date: Mar 7, 2007
