Advantages: Possibly their best work, Bonus tracks, long interview Disadvantages: None
...This album was originally released on a small independent label called FM after they left their previous label Jet. This album was produced by Kit Woolven and recorded in UB40's studio in Birmingham (UK). The album was so good it was the springboard to their signing with major label Polydor in the latter part of the eighties. Anyway back to the music....
From the atmospheric "How far Jerusalem" to the poignant "Les mort dansant" to the beautiful ... ...track called Come on Young Love which actually is just "steal your heart" with a different chorus.
There is also a 26 minute interview with Bob and Tony (circa 1993)
Cover artwork by Rodney Matthews depicting what looks like a tavern.
Possibly one of my favourite Matthews pictures. ...
Advantages: Scorching soul that packs a punch Disadvantages: None
...of a letter, it fairly crackles with anger.
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels deserves to be rediscovered. In my opinion, it's a far better album than it's more famous successor inasmuch as it is less contrived and less image driven.
It's the true sound of Midlands soul! ...
Advantages: Music that is innovative and original and strangely beautiful Disadvantages: One or two tracks prevent the album from being an all time classic
...pop history. In some ways Big Science anticipates the techno, electronic and heavily sampled dance music that was to dominate the 1990s onwards. Overall 'Big Science' is a refreshing example of original creative minimalist music with themes that resonate just as deeply today.

Advantages: Some of the most creatively emotional music ever to grace the world Disadvantages: Tails off a little towards the end
...mocking self-derision. I chose Beat because it is one of those albums that tastes change with, feelings move with. OK, it hasn’t changed my life but how many artefacts can truly be said to have changed someone’s life. Then when people claim so, how many people are not lost in an act of sublime self-delusion?
But then, maybe I’m just a (young) cynic. But to return to the point, Beat was the culmination of patient listening. Like so many others I ... ...Then I bought Beat and from the first moment I thought: I like this album. Now with almost all Crimson albums I have (and I have all the studio albums if not the myriad live recordings available) it takes a listen to two or get into the album, to feel at ease with the music. I shall explain. Crimson is a band that does not have a uniform sound beyond the fact that they will not guarantee you an easy listen. Crimson uses the musical vernacular and ...

...This is a greatest hits album from a band who I have up there as one of the master bands of Rock and Roll music. I am sure some of this bands songs have appeared on movies as soundtracks. In addition the main reason I bought this album is because they included the song you better you bet as track number 16 as well as the classic song 'who are you'.
Largely because of these two classic tracks I bought the album as I wanted to listen to other tracks ... ...songs all of which were greatest hits by the Who. I will try to describe and detail as best as I can on a track by track basis.
-------------------------------
Track 1: I can't explain: This perhaps is an interesting song, as it starts off in a punchy and forceful way on the guitar as well as having nice to hear lyrics. The song provided me with a pleasant mood to hear other songs on the list. Overall I find this a really great track that really ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
