Well...this is the CD that started it all, or should I say continued it?
I remember as a wee child, sat in my car, listening to "Disco 2000" on the radio. Such good times. It was a song, that even as a mindless child, said to me "This is how music should sound".
So, late summer '06 sometime, I saw the Video to that memory stirring song on something like "Q", or "The Vault" on sky, and my heart literally stopped. A couple of weeks later, I saw the video to "Common People" aswell, and I made up my mind to go straight to Virgin Megastores and pick up my copy of some form of Pulp's Greatest Hits, and so came across "Hits".
It shows how Pulp changed and differed through their time at large, from the early 90's to the early 00's. Songs like "Babies", "Razzmataz", and "Lipgloss" all ooze with dark, perverted, but none the less incredibly witty innuendo, about spying on your friend's sister, incest, and sleeping around. Its the kind of stuff that makes me wish I got to see the early 90's >_<
Then as the singles move onto the ones taken from "Different Class", they begin to unfold with the more spontaneously catchy sounds and glam that they are famous for. "Common People" and "Disco 2000" as mentioned before are the ones that got me into it, but it also has the darker side to it. "Underwear" in particular has the black loom over the sound of it, whereas "Sorted For E's and Whizz" is slightly distracting with its happy and dreamy violin effects :P
"This is Hardcore" is another which seems to have a dark secret behind the glam we expect comes with Stardom.
One thing you will notice about Pulp, whether your looking at "We Love Life", or "His 'N' Hers", is that all the songs are specific, and seem so believable, you will have no choice but to be drawn into Jarvis's magical world.
Buy this CD!
