That makes me wonder. Do you have access to the videos, as well, Dreeke? You haven't mentioned that. I'm wondering if they are being a lot more tight-fisted with the video. I think it is waaay cool that they will have a full-length film, which I expect is in the box (paint me green with jealousy).
Ooh and news in the issue about the Watersons' "lost" record Bright Phoebus, and Anna Calvi.
It is a good review, isn't it. What I'm taking away is that
it doesn't sound like it's the sort of record that grabs you instantly
you're gonna need the lyrics
the films will probably help (£ouch £ouch)
I too have gone off to YT to investigate Scott 4 which I didn't know previously, and contrary to my expectations I am now recovering from hysteria after the first track, which sounds like a pilot for one of those brilliant games from Just a Minute, call it Summarise a Film in a Completely Inappropriate Musical Style. The rest of it is giving me bad flashbacks to Tim Buckley, so thanks a bloody bunch Mojo reviewer. Oh what the hell, it's only half an hour.
Love the line 'Gregory knows he can serve up his revenge here, rather than wait until that critic tries to write a novel'. Quite special coming from a journalist.
Nice read! I really enjoyed it. Nowadays it is very difficult to read this kind of reviews. I think I'm going to try and get my hands on the magazine...
