PR 1001 ELECTRIC CRAYON SET WHAT A ROTTER OF A DAY LP 01.2014
Timo Paako named his band after Rubble 5 and this limited edition (300) blue-vinyl
reissue of the Finnish bands 2007 release revisits that series groovy combination of
garage fuzz and pop-psych, with the occasional proggy keyboard and New Romantic sheen
tossed in for good measure. It also continues the ecstatic barrage of radio friendly
ear candy begun on their sold-out 2001 debut, One Mans Trash. Theres a distinct Martin
Fry shade to Paakko's powerful vocals , which are equally adept with the Tull-ish
acoustic folk of Morning Of Magicians, the cockney affectations of the giddy Kitty
Ruxpin and the smooth crooning of the dreamy, Ferry-worthy Angel Of Mons. As implied,
Spacedust is effervescent, floating psychedelia, Initiate is perfect, guitar-driven
skinny-tie pop, and Key To The Sacred Pattern is powerpop nirvana.

PR 1006 GORDON GILTRAP & PAUL WARD : THE LAST OF ENGLAND LP 05.2017
Gordon Giltrap has teamed with Paul Ward to create this beautiful collection of songs.
'The Last Of England' is an innovative album that blends the many influences that
have inspired Gordon throughout his career to create a sound that warms the heart
and soul. Gordon's melodic guitar sound marries perfectly with the keyboards of Ward
to create a harmonious collection of tunes inspired by the cover painting by pre
-Raphaelite artist Ford Madox Brown. Limited to 500 copies on orange vinyl, the LP
is presented in shiny gatefold sleeve which really shows off the painting.
