What you say No-one has reviewed Ragged Garden by Gerry Mitchell & Little Sparta yet. Give us your opinion on Ragged Garden by Gerry Mitchell & Little Sparta. What we say This record left our Ant feeling happy. Fire Records have put out the long playing debut of Gerry Mitchell’s collaboration with Little Sparta. If you're familiar with this pairings work then you'll know what to expect here. It's a dark brew of black spoken word/ poetry and mournful strings. Mitchell's vocal is both charismatic and deeply meaningful. The strings add a sense of hope to the drama and can make it feel uplifting at the most somber of times. Very good indeed. What the label says: “William Burroughs meets the Dirty Three” WIRE “Little Sparta’s set definitely raised the standard” www.latitudefestival.co.uk/"...these collaborators feed off of each other in strange ways, with an edge that keeps this from just poetry set to music.."   PitchforkWith recent concerts at Latitude festival and the Tate Britain, this international collective brings the follow up to Scalpel Slice (7.5/10 Pitchfork). The return of Gerry Mitchell’s collaboration with Little Sparta (featuring Susie Honeyman of the Mekons) includes the cult single 'Feasting On My Heart' (Single Of The Week in Playlouder, Norman Records AND Boomkat). This album will be preceded by a 7” release of the single featuring a fresh, genre-defying dancefloor remix by Various Productions.

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.
