T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ As early as the Icicle Works' second album, it ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ became obvious that singer/songwriter Ian McNabb ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ had little interest in further pursuing his career ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ as a new wave tunesmith in the manner of his only ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ U.K. hit, "Love Is a Wonderful Colour." Still, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ stylistic nods to Neil Young, Van Morrison, and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Motown on post-1984 recordings could have hardly ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ prepared the causal Icicle Works fan for the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ all-over-the-map musical journey that represented ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the original lineup's fourth and final album, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Blind. There's not even a hint of new wave on this ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ record; beginning with a full-on Led Zeppelin-style ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ rave up ("Shit Creek"), Blind then proceeds to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ careen wildly through several anthemic ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Waterboys-inspired folk-rockers ("Here Comes ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Trouble," "Starry Blue Eyed Wonder"), a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Caribbean-style pop tune ("What Do You Want Me to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Do"), a Prince-meets-INXS lite-funk workout ("The ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Kiss Off"), a raunchy blues-metal parody that even ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Zodiac Mindwarp might have found too over the top ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ("Two Two Three"), and even a short doo ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ wop-flavored number ("One True Love"), among other ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ stylistic detours. While the attempt to branch out ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ is laudable, it must be noted that not everything ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ here works, and as a consequence, the album doesn't ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ really hang together. But Blind does contain some ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of the Icicle Works' best individual tracks, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ including the singles "High Time" and "Little Girl ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Lost," and is, if nothing else, seldom dull. As a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ bonus, fans of drummer Chris Sharrock will find ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Blind to be the best showcase for his considerable ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ talents since the Icicle Works' first album; it's ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ hard to think of another drummer who could mimic ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ all the musical styles represented on this album ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ with both the sensitivity and creativity shown ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ here. This album, then, is not the place for the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ neophyte Icicle Works or Ian McNabb fan to start, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ but for committed fans who want to hear the extent ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of the original Icicle Works' range ù warts and all ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ù Blind is definitely worth a look-see. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ░ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓ ▐█████▓█ [ A B O U T .
