UK rock sextet Cats In Space are back - in the biggest of ways - with
their fourth studio album, Atlantis. Songwriter and guitarist Greg Hart
promises that compared to previous outings, this LP ôhas more symphonyö
(a delightfully Spinal Tappian claim, making reference to the
orchestrations by renowned arranger Mike Moran). While it remains a
mystery as to whether or not it was recorded in Dobly, Atlantis is
certainly the bandÆs most grandiose statement to date, as the band
persist in indulging all the musical excesses of classic seventies rock
(think Queen, think ELO), with no acknowledgement of the four full
decades that have since passed. Of course, this sort of enterprise is
the purest of love affairs and each of these songs has been crafted with
the utmost care. Every guitar break, synth wig-out and
quadruple-tracked vocal is era-perfect; this is the majesty of Rock,
writ large.
The release marks the debut of new frontman Damien Edwards whose
background in musical theatre makes him the perfect fit for the band.
With the ability to glide effortlessly from portentous tenor to
histrionic banshee wail, heÆs got the range - dahling - that most rock
singers would sell their soul for. ThereÆs probably a concept right
there for the next album; working title: DamienÆs Deal (With the Devil).
Stellar opener æSpaceship SuperstarÆ smacks instantly of rock opera,
boasting a Blue ╓yster Cult chug and plenty of futuristic-yet-vintage
keyboard runs, while the equally energetic æRevolutionÆ is a Queen and
Sweet mashup with particularly pleasing sweeping vocals. ItÆs best not
to dwell on the delicious irony that anything remotely revolutionary
could be occurring here, of course, and just get on board for the ride.
Next comes the wonderful æSunday BestÆ, which is all ELO eccentricity,
extolling the virtues of putting oneÆs best foot forward (preferably in
oneÆs very best glitter-encrusted boots). This musical terrain has been
mined before - most notably by Jellyfish and on the Take That hit
æShineÆ.
The hitworthy AOR of æListen To The RadioÆ is a textbook blend of
Journey and Survivor, giftwrapped in a three-and-a-half-minute package.
This is followed by the recordÆs big ballad æI Fell Out Of Love With
Rock ænÆ RollÆ, the Steinmanisms of which find Edwards in his element.
Crucially, at just over four minutes, it doesnÆt outstay its welcome
(although it does threaten to descend into a full-on æHey JudeÆ outro)
as it bemoans the damaging rise of that evil baddie, grunge.
AtlantisÆ B-side wastes no time matching the calibre of its first half,
with the flamboyant prog epic æMarionettesÆ, which starts like something
from a Magnum LP before swerving into madcappery akin to Danny ElfmanÆs
tunes from Tim BurtonÆs Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. æQueen Of
The NeverlandÆ initially seems more straightforward but similarly has
some musical surprises up its sleeve. Things then kick back a little
with the talkbox guitar of æMagic LovinÆ FeelinÆÆ, which is freewheeling
and melodic - basically Boston on a very good day.
The acoustic jangle of æCanÆt Wait For TomorrowÆ provides a further
pocket of calm before the Manfred Mann keys of æSeasons ChangeÆ herald
more melodic pomp, executed to kitchen-sink perfection. æAtlantisÆ
closes the record, serving as the end credits to this most cinematic of
musical odysseys. The song acknowledges that the attempt to resurrect
the past is as futile as the search for Atlantis itself but the point of
a record like this, of course, is to remind us that the most important
thing is to make the journey.
And what a thoroughly enjoyable trip it has been. An album of original
material that pays homage to about thirty bands all at once, this is a
rock history lesson that will have Messrs Vance and Freeman backflipping
in the beyond. The fact that it is almost completely musically
irrelevant is, in itself, an irrelevance. What matters is its spirit: a
distillation and celebration of a lost age, painstakingly but joyously
rendered. Atlantis cements the bandÆs unparalleled passion for all
things bygone and warns every rock tribute band in the world that they
are merely terrestrial mortals, whereas these cats are, wellà Cats In
Space.
