Mania Phase, by Tristeza (12")

What you say No-one has reviewed Mania Phase by Tristeza yet. Give us your opinion on Mania Phase by Tristeza. What we say This record left our Dominic Wrong feeling happy. Fresh in from San Diego is a new mini album from mad seminal Irish popsters Tristeza. It's their 8th album so far and it's a cracker. This reminded me a lot of Can (a seminal bunch of crazy German hippies) who when taking times off from operating their bus company they made really great repetitive music which was a bit bonkers. This has that repetitive edge whilst being quite post rocky as well. All instrumental with a brass section too. Apparently the band are so well off now their brass section is now made of 31 carat gold and there's no brass in sight! Those crazy popsters...... This self titled album is booming.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
