What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

Hello my name is Clint and I'm going to tell you about some discs I've been listening to. The first one is by Pete Astor who was once in legendary 80's janglers The Loft as well as Wisdom of Harry, Ellis Island Sound and The Weather Prophets. Here is a solo album called 'Hal's Eggs' -  the music contained on the disc is excellent. It is mostly interpretations of old traditional songs. I suppose you could compare it a bit to some of the Alasdair Roberts stuff but the arrangements are a bit more modern and its a bit more English sounding like Pentangle or Fairport Convention. The songs are great and it's beautifully arranged.  Will fit snugly into the wierd/wired folk thing that's going on at the moment. On Static Caravan and highly recommended.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.

'uh.... my eyes.... everything's so bright here.'
