... reference and that you're not TOTALLY BLOODY CRAZY YOU LUNATIC!!!! I think he also references the lyrics to After The Gold Rush by Neil Young, so maybe he's a cool guy, but if he wants his records back, and he says he does, I say give them to him, and don't look him in the eye! In all honesty though the music here is sad and wonderful and understated. The answer phone message or whatever it is works well under laid at the end. Six - Tears On Fresh Fruit Abrasive guitar riffs and sneering punk vocals all through lots of d...more

Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot by Sparklehorse (1995) One - Homecoming Queen Anybody who begins their recording career with the line "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse" has already got me in stitches before we've barely begun, and then he namedrops The Magnetic Fields, so I think we know what territory we're in. The woebegone electro-acoustic backing wake seems to me to be struggling to keep a straight face. The vocalist sounds like he's at death's door and cryptically gasps something about a homecoming queen. Who wants to pay for a private detective to figure out what the hell he's talking about? Two - Weird ... Read the complete review

Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (and that's the last time I write the title is a fantastic album. Resolutely lo-fi, but never unlistenable, its fragmented but coherent. Country tinged rock would be the best way of desciribing the sound, although as a label, that's a bit narrow and restictive for the range on offer. There's definately shades of Neil Young in there (think After The Gold Rush). The songs fall into three camps : sparse mournful ballads (Homecoming Queen, Wierd Sisters), full on rock outs with distorted vocals (Hammering The Cramps, Tears On Fresh Fruit) or bizzare interludes with strage sounds (850 Double Pumper Holley). ...

With a title like that how did he expect us to go up to the record shop counter and request it? The title is not where the difficulty ends, however, with 16 songs it is not too easily digested. Persistence does pay off however. Mark Linkous the impetus behind Sparklehorse lives miles from anyone and in this environment he is able to cook up minor masterpieces from the comfort of his rocking chair. 'Hammering The Cramps' is about as famous as his music has got, which is a shame because tracks like 'Rainmaker', 'Someday I Will Treat You Good' wouldn't be out of place on daytime radio. For the rest of us 'Spirit Dutch' is tear inducing ... Read the complete review
