In The Mood (At The Wurlitzer Organ Of The Tower Ballroom, Blackpool) - Phil Kelsall

Advantages: Every track is great in one way or another.
Disadvantages: None.

...is the fact that Phil has supporting artists featuring, including names such as Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton. The Phoenix Horns provide most of the trumpets, trombones and saxophone. THE TRACKS There are 12 tracks on this album. Lyrically, they vary, but on the whole, the lyrics are well written. The music of each track is good and has a great sound to it. 1 – Hang In Long Enough – A great song to begin the album. This song is almost certain to improve your mood and encourage you to continue, regardless of how you’re feeling. A continuous drum-beat is surrounded by the odd trumpet riff with an occasional guitar hit. Mild keyboards and bass continue throughout and the song ends with a nice bit of slide guitar.

...Having risen to the heady heights of fame at the tender age of 15, one might expect Silverchair to have burnt out and paled into history like so many others before them. Well... it hasn't been an easy ride, but the've come through. Each track on 'Neon Ballroom', their third and most accomplished albumn to date, deals with the many problems and emotions that have been thrown at front man Daniel Johns over the bands meteoric rise to the top. Johns solid, directed, guitar work combines with an orchestra of strings and some moving piano performances from fellow aussie David helfgot, to produce a very involving sound quite unlike anything your likely to have heard before. Drawing emotions out of you left, right and center, then slaming you down before repeating the process, this album could quite possibly be the soundtrack of a generation... Read review
