What's it called?:
Man Alive
What It Sounds Like:
All the best British pop music of the last 50 years i e The Beatles, ELO, 10cc, XTC, Franz Ferdinand and Radiohead pulped in a blender and served up fresh for your delectation. Favourite tracks all of them are extraordinary in their own way a few stand out. Two For Nero with its hypnotic harpsichord and multi layered vocals, Final Form with it's pulsating drumming is the best song Radiohead never did, Tin (the Manhole) is just sheer beauty like a mountain or the stars or a rainbow.But I could list every track and enthuse about it's sheer wonder.The lyrics are a post modern potpourri of nonsense phrases or a genius take on modern society whichever you prefer.
What Does It All "Mean"?:
That at it's best British pop music still takes some beating and this is British music at it's best, witty articulate, catchy,moving, enthralling.
