Advantages: interesting very very interesting Disadvantages: too "interesting" in places
If i could start by saying thet the babies being stamped on by anonymous stilletoes on the front cover are not real ones ,but it does grab your visual attention ,and if you are open minded enough to allow a band its "early period"then "Reproduction"can be a very rewarding experience ,there is little in the way of hits or even pop,but if curiosity gets the better of you after glancing at the cover then buy a ticket and jump on .
This is the sound of the suburbs ,the suburbs of Shefield in or around 1978,at this point The Human League consisted of four blokes ,a couple of synthsisers and a slide projector and a warehouse load of ideas and concepts,none of them remotely linked to each other ,and giving the overall effect of a band not playing what they wanted but what they could manage ,and thats where the magic starts .

Advantages: Suction is brilliant. Disadvantages: Looks are a little industrial.

This review is on the very robust Henry Numatic model HVR 200. You will know it as soon as you see it as it has a smiley face, and comes in four colours, red green blue & yellow, well now they have added another to the range - PINK!!! Technically this one is called HETTY, but it is identical otherwise.
The shape is cylindrical, but not laid down, it is upright, like an oil drum, and has a buffer ring surrounding it, which does not mark walls. It is mounted on castors, and so is easy to move about.
As for the suction, I can only say it is brilliant, the cable is wound up neatly in it's own drum, all tools are there, the machine itself is light enough to be carried up the stairs, what more could you want in a cleaner?
There is of course a down side, but not much of one, for instance it is not easy to vacuum the stairs as ...
Advantages: Perhaps the greatest Australian novel ever written Disadvantages: Perhaps the most depressing novel ever written
and Lawrence; Wolfe and Forster of course; Elliot and Hardy. On average, I read perhaps almost a novel a day, every day for thirty years: perhaps, some five thousand or so novels in all. Inevitably, there came a day when I began to stop. I had run out of steam. As Logan Pearsall Smith wrote: ?People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.? I too had preferred reading but now, rarely did I ever come across anything out of the ordinary. I turned instead to non-fiction - books about medicine; on exercise physiology; on Greek philosophy.
Then in my mid-forties, (I can't now recall the circumstances), I read ?The Fortunes of Richard Mahony? published in three parts over eighteen years, written by Henry Handel Richardson, the pen name of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson born in Melbourne (3 January 1870 ? 20 March 1946), the daughter ...

Album Notes
This 12-track release features remastered performances by Ashley Hutchings, Sandy Denny, Linda Thompson, and others. Thompson was still in his teens when he helped define British folk-rock in the '60s as the thinking man's guitar hero in Fairport Convention. He was still a young man when he stepped out for his 1972 debut as a solo singer-songwriter. An auspicious beginning, HENRY THE HUMAN FLY is a fully realized work full of strong compositions and inspired performances. It's simultaneously Thompson's most traditionally folkie and most gleefully eccentric solo effort, as he was just beginning to give voice to the various elements of his eclectic vision. Guests from Thompson's extended folk-rock family like Sandy Denny, Ashley Hutchings and Barry Dransfield provide an agreeable sonic link to the recent Fairport past without tying Thompson to his past glories.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (1/18/73, p.52) - "...dense and mysterious..." Mojo (p.127) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Thompson sounds like a man convinced that a Stratocaster might just save English folk..."
