Heart of the Matter
4 stars Oooh, those days of the Manchester neo-mod scene, back then in the infamous late eighties! Easy, I'm not hallucinating, it's just that this album begins exactly like that: an hyper-electric riff like any one you can find on a record by, let's say, The Stone Roses, sets the mood, but immediately (Thanks God!) the whole thing is rarified with choral arrangements mutating the key, and little "orchestral" miniatures by the synths, plus all sorts of accentual & metric alterations in the rythmic patterns.

Summing up: Tasty, but hardly essential. For a taste of the more mellow and almost classical part of the album, try "See Me At The Crow Bridge", for the nicely psychedelic one, "World Turned Upside Down" (kind of XTC meets Gentle Giant, really good)

Heart of the Matter | 4/5 |
