I feel like I was caught between centuries. Those who were my teachers in the 1950's were themselves influenced by educators from the mid nineteenth century. Here I was in 5th grade leaning how to take cover under my desk in the event of a nuclear attack, while my teacher was born before the advent of the automobile. Events were turning over so rapidly. Change was riding a tsunami of technology that would forever change the landscape of civilization. I never quite got on board. I preferred my Grandfather's approach. While Rome was burning and decent men like Martin Luther King Jr and the Kennedys were being killed by the militant arm of the Oligarchy, he would take me out to the countryside to sit for a spell, listen to the American Songbook, and lazily throw stones into a meandering stream. I came to appreciate the natural world around me and decided someday I too would create music. The drone like buzzing of worker bees, the gentle whirring, flapping of a hummingbird's tiny wings, the squawk of the blue jays, the wind whispering through the trees, I heard music everywhere away from city strife. Last Summer I brought my student Yamaha 6 string (I love the antique sound), a couple of old Horner harmonicas, a little bread, a little wine, and a corner of cheese, up to the forest and cliffs of Mount Tom State Reservation in Western Massachusetts. Here at the 1200' level I could simultaneously view majestic hawks and eagles soaring far above sun drenched clouds, yet still see the buildings of Springfield and Hartford far in the distance. At this time I was intent upon listening to life's Many Voices.- Shop: odax

Incl DL-Code10 MAXI-SINGLE, nummeriert und limitiert auf 1000 weltweit. THE PRIMITIVES und ihre mitreissenden Melodien bringen uns zrück ans Ende der 80er, als sie mit Klassikern wie Lovely und Galore den Britpop vorwegnahmen. Incl DL-Code THE PRIMITIVES are back. Paul Court, Tig Williams and Tracy Tracy's band continue to prove that they are in their second youth. After that exceptional album of covers called Echoes And Rhymes and their fantastic last album Spin-O-Rama, Elefant Records is releasing a magnificent 10 vinyl maxi-single with four new, original songs by the band, that can keep up with any of their greatest hits. The guitar that starts off I'll Trust The Wind evokes some of the band's great moments, with a marvellous riff and an incomparable dynamic. Their contagious melodies plus that British touch are evident throughout. Squeak 'N' Squawk is another bullseye, which echoes once again (and why not) other bands' such as THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN or PRIMAL SCREAM's finest moments, with a straightforward nod towards early classic PRIMITIVES. Oh Honey Sweet opens the B-side with their more pop facet, less distortion and wonderfully light, with Paul's voice illuminating everything. And to finish, so that we don't forget about some of the British band's consistent references, Same Stuff closes things on a high note with overtones of garage, surf and blues, and a noisy and solid bass riff.
