Yours And Mine - Humphrey Lyttelton & Mick Pyne

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...knobs and playing with things in the studio to make some noise. I can't think of any better explanation. Leave it to the poncey Sunday supplements to decide if this is "ground breaking", "edgy", "cutting", or whatever other buzzword some up-and-coming journo uses these days, because as a purely musical album it ain't got much to recommend it. When the 'Head do get it going and actually produce something approaching a song, as in the fab lazy jazz sound of Living In A Glass House (with Humphrey Lyttelton playing) and the sparse but nicely structured Pyramid Song, they show they are still capable of grinding today's opposition into the dust. Oh that the brothers Gallacher wished they could write such as the bittersweet rambling guitar line that is Knives Out "look into my eyes, it's the only way you'll ever repel the truth...

Advantages: A great album to get you in the mood for a night out
Disadvantages: A couple of weak links

Put on your checkered slip on vans and tight jeans around yoru arse and go out and buy this record. 1"Tell That Mick He Just Made My List... Read review
