The Police Box: The Police Box 5
TEN TRACKS: THE POLICE BOX, February '09
A romantically realistic and sexually implicit compilation for you and your Valentine.
Captain
Nuda Veritas
This came through from Vermont in hard copy totally oout of the blue. The first track went straight to first track on the February '09 compilation.
Missing
Emily Scott
By coupling female vocal melodies with bowed male tones of the double-bass bass, Emily has quite a unique gimmick going here. But the lyrics of a song like 'Missing' are the thing that make this good thing last. The CD comes with a ribbon too - buy it!
The Bruise
Miri
Miri tells us this wayward blues tune evokes a break-up from the guy's perspective. The Bruise has mood, soul, untamed vocal expression, and a guitar solo to die for. Sounds like a jazz standard but it's not - it's original new music from Miri.
Yeah You Can Be My Muse
Amplifico
KT Tunstall's mates self-style as 'pop', which is modest when all songs on 'See Heart, See Muscle' are as strong as its title. The intimate sharing of space by the music and the words often captures something more sophisticated than many pop bands do.
It Was Rough When The Rain Came
My Kappa Roots
Musically speaking, the thing that makes these musicians so valuable - St John, Eagleowl, My Kappa Roots, the Fence label and Tracer Trails - is that they move with each other first, and then with the times. This song's beauty owes something to this.
Broken Down Cars (Fudge Fingas remix)
FOUND
The second Found Can Move track remixed by Gavin from the band (aka Fudge Fingas), Broken Down Cars is the most musically up-beat of its bundle, but betrays a more tempered tone lyrically. It's one of those that can be heard both ways or either.
Celtic Harp
Joe Acheson Quartet
This track is virtually heartstopping when they get it right live - and here is how they ideally want it to sound! It's not yet available in hard copy, so if you buy it, you bought it first on Ten Tracks - one to try in lossless format.
Nemo Saltat Sobrius
The Black Diamond Express
This is about as close as Black Diamond Express Trains to Hell get to Valentine's, but we all learn something from a dangerous liaison once in a while...
Catch You In The Morning
Austen George
Wistful love songs don't get much better than this - ideal snowy Valentine's material.
Lasaw
Iona Marshall
One of Iona's solo works from outstanding demo 'One Dove', this features an electronic soundscape, unique samples, and a vocal performance often compared with fellow Ten Tracks artiste Björk, but here blessed with its own distinctly celtic peacefulness.
