R E L E A S E ] ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ This revew has been taken from: www.musicomh.com ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ It's pretty detailed and far better from what i ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ could have written myself. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Enjoy !! ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ It would seem that collaborating with Norman Cook ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ might not be the best career move. From his days in ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ The Housemartins, only Paul Heaton seems to have ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ emerged intact. Stan Cullimore was last heard of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ writing children's books, while Hugh Whitaker ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ served some years at Her MajestyÆs pleasure. As for ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Fatboy's post-Housemartins projects, Lindy Layton ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of Beats International disappeared off the face of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the Earth - as indeed did the rest of the group. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ It seemed likely that the same fate would befall ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Ashley Slater, who was the memorable voice behind ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Freakpower's 'Tune In Turn On Cop Out'. You could ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ be forgiven for thinking that Slater was just ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ sticking to guest spots on other peoples records, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ such as old buddy Fatboy Slim's 'Retox' and 'Summer ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Music' by EDP. In reality, however, he was busy ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ preparing 'Big Lounge', his debut solo album. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ It's incredible to think that Slater's career has ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ spanned 22 years, and yet this is his debut solo ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ album. The production on this record is lush and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ soulful and gives the impression of a man at ease ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ with releasing an album every few years. In fact at ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ first listen, 'Big Lounge' sounds almost too slick ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ for it's own good - the danger is that lazy people ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ may lump it into the easy listening bracket, which ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ it really doesn't deserve. There are hidden depths ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ to this record which pay off on repeated listening. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 'Merry Xmas' for example begins with a big brassy ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ intro, before spiralling off into a bizarre amalgam ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of 'Hey Big Spender' and a Glenn Miller big band ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ number, with Slater muttering lasciviously in a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Cockney accent, "Alright Santa, got anything nice ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ for me?" over a fiddle. It's ridiculously inventive ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ and really shouldn't come off but it works ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ perfectly. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ A Miles Davis style trumpet mournfully introduces ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 'Go Ahead' before sliding effortlessly into ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Slater's best Barry White impression - although ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ it's hard to imagine Barry singing "If I had the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ moral turpitude, you know I'd make you mine". The ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ spirit of White is invoked too in the old ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Freakpower favourite, the deliciously dirty ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 'Husband' with it's Jarvis Cocker-like lyric "I'll ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ kiss you where your husband won't". Surreality ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ abounds meanwhile in the jazzy 'Strange Dream', ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ with tales of mob guys pouring cement into Slater's ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ head, parading naked on a soldier's passing-out ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ parade and swimming in an aquarium. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ As if that wasn't enough, this album could also ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ provide a valuable public service, in teaching ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Robbie Williams how to properly perform a decent ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ cover version of 'Something Stupid', Slater's ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ version of which closes this album. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ For everyone who was a fan of the rich, soulful ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ voice behind 'Tune In', this album is an essential ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ purchase. If your tastes lean towards the heavier, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ more angst influenced end of the market, then move ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ on, there's nothing to see here. For everyone else ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ though, this is good time, happy music with a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ sharper edge than usual that deserves a wide ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ audience. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ░ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓ ▐█████▓█ [ A B O U T .
