Bonnie ‘Prince' Billy
To free us from the expectations of Others. to give us back to Ourselves - there lies the great. singular power of self-respect. A deSign for the life for the Manic Street Preachers. whose latest 'The Love of Richard Nixon' (Seny)
0. covers predictable lyrical and melodic territory. but With the surpriSing addition of a bassheavy beat. What a difference ten years makes. a period which has propelled Robbie Williams from teen icon to er . . . gay icon’? Marc Almond? ‘ln my confusion. I have the right to reign!‘ he bellows robotically on ‘Radio' (EMI) O. . a slice of industrial synth pop co- written by Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy.
Diluted hip hop plus atonal childlike vocals on ‘Sunday Séance/Jet Son‘ by Blockhead (Ninia Tune) .0 is a surpriSing but unsuccessful recipe: nothing unexpected in The Cure's ‘Taking Off’ (Geffen) .... which could have been released 20 years ago. and still more than holds its own against the likes of new kids Fred who take a commendable stab at somewhere between Muse and ldlewild on the soaring look Me in the Eyes' (Fredmusic) 000
It's still equally early days for Edinburgh's Amplifico, whose ethereal debut 'Hometakes - Volume 1' (Amplifico) ... is the laid back opposite of Red Bee Society's sinewy 'When We Talk of Horses' (Gantry) «O. . ‘If you've got a secret, keep it' sings Mark Baillie. but not ' it's TV on the Radio and their blustering ‘New Health Rock' (4A0) .... , a bloodthirsty riot of a single and worthy single of the fortnight runner up.
Supporting Blur. Hot Hot Heat and the Pixies may conjure up some preconceptions of Moving Units. and you'd be bang on — ‘Available' (Palm Pictures) 000 is an energetic and catchy mixture of the three coming out like a lo li version of Electric Six's ‘High Voltage'.
Home Video charter the less abrasive waters of rock on their ‘Citizen EP' (Warp) COO . whereas it's an out and out celebration of the raw exuberance of youth (and backroom gin drinking) in just over two minutes of proper punk style on The Paddingtons' '21“ (Poptones) COO . all about a girl ‘who's only 21 and trying to please me'. 10,000 Things cover the opposite dilemma on ‘Titanium‘ (Fiction)
000 . which dedicates itself to the more unpleasant side effects of being a teenage boy.
Moving swiftly on. they'd be wise to keep out of the way of Surferosa, who corner the catsuit—clad female Nerwegian synth punk section of the market with ‘Satin Con Blonde‘ (Versity) 0.0 . power chords aplenty and sounding uncannily like Cassandra's band in Wayne '3 World.
Ideal soundtrack material (fora different kind of film. granted) is Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, as sparse, world weary and utterly fantastic as ever on ‘No More Workhorse Blues' (Domino) .0... which earns itself Single of the Fortnight. (Emma Newlands)
