Orwell - Continental - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About this product
2011 album from the French purveyors of classic, beautifully crafted pop music. On Continental, songwriter Jérôme Didelot fashions guitars, strings, vibraphone and a contingent of vintage electronics (Moog, Farfisa and Stylophone) into rich harmonies and evocative instrumentals while fashioning a lyrical world Continental is an imaginary country, torn by tradition and nationalism and in decline, somewhere in the heart of Europe. With lyrics entirely in English this time around, the one exception being the trilingual title track, sung in English, French and German, Continental is an ideal entry point into the pleasure that is Orwell.

SPACEHOG / CHINESE ALBUM The second (1998) from the British expat group Spacehog, The Chinese Album was originally conceived as the soundtrack for a movie called Mungo City; the movie never got made but thankfully the album retained the glam/power pop song by the same name (which, in a just universe, would have been a big hit)! This record never really got it's due, partly because the band took three years to follow up on the success of their debut album Resident Alien and it's hit InchIn the Meantime.Inch But The Chinese Album, in many ways, is a much more fully-realized work than it's predecessor; instead of merely playing at being a glam-rock band, Spacehog here crafts a fully-realized sound and aesthetic, with nods to such artists as Queen, Badfinger, The Kinks, and even R.E.M. (Michael Stipe makes an appearance on the mellow InchAlmond KissesInch). And the songwriting (e.g. InchLucy's ShoeInch) is consistently strong, making The Chinese Album one of the late '90s' great lost records. A pink vinyl pressing, nestled next to a 4-page, full-sized, full-color insert holding all the groovy graphics that accompanied the CD !

Energetic rock songs rooted in 70s rock and psychedelia. Catchy melodies, heavy riffs and a big sound, combined with exploratory instrumental sections that build towards a euphoric climax.1.
