The Lexicon Of Love

ABC · 2 likes

4/5

Lounge music from the 80's. A time of great optimism. Business suits, boardrooms, thatcherism, consumer credit, and the beginning of the modern era. You could make a reasonable argument that the ills of today were birthed here, but I digress... Musically, big, bright and poppy, "The sound of a foot tapping on the classroom floor forever." That and trying to imitate Bryan Ferry. For all that some instant classics. A trip down memory lane if nothing else.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

This is what you'll get This is what you'll get This is what you'll get When you mess with us. Ah Radiohead, the jangly discordant melancholy beloved of Johnny Death who would foist OK Computer & Kid A on anyone vaguely interested. Fairly good for walking in the rain.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

A wall of droning discordant industrial noise, that seemingly sounds the same regardless of where you jump to in all but one of the tracks. Avoid.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

After the painful drone of my bloody valentine, Boards of Canada was pure nostalgia. Perusing the titles Roygbiv made me smile. Richard of York gained battle in vain. A way for kids to remember the colours of the rainbow. Sonically interesting ambience if nothing else.

Nowhere

Ride

2/5

Drum heavy jangly alternative rock. I can imagine this going down a storm with sensitive young men of the era. Not exactly my cup of tea but eh.
