What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Pram are a blast from the past for me. I used to be pretty obsessed with 'em and I remember when they cancelled their Leeds gig at the Duchess cos they had no drummer I wrote to 'em and offered them my unique sticksman skills. I got a nice letter back from Rosie politely telling me they'd already found a replacement (ie fuck off). Alas I never gave up on 'em though and I still enjoy listening to some of their lo fi shannigans on a reasonably regular basis.... The Iron lung EP still does special things to me though. Here's 'The Moving Frontier' CD/LP on Domino and they're still parading around their toytown sounds with gleeful abandon (whatever that means). I'm pleased they're still releasing records and that folks out there are still buying 'em. There has always some been something a bit rubbish about 'em though but they're so utterly charming you end up not caring. Lovely.... recommended!!

What the label says:

‘The Moving Frontier’ is Pram at their most widescreen, they’ve created a mysterious and wonderful landscape that’s sky-wide open. The fourteen concise tracks on the album are Pram at their most confident and direct. Album opener ‘The Empty Quarter’ alongside ‘Iske’, ‘Sundew’ and ‘Metaluna’ are instrumental pieces steeped in a lurching starry-eyed wonder. They not only soundtrack but gently prompt and orchestrate a reflective daydream moment.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
