5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 9 Nov 2004
By Dr. D. J. R. Atkinson "dants808" (UK Yorks) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once in a while something comes along that you reckon must be well worth getting "for a laugh". I bought this album for that sole reason. Hell, the thought of Cubic 22 blasted out by a colliery band? Truly beautiful.

But then something happened - I listened to the full album and realised that it wasn't just a laugh, it is something else. It's wonderful. Eighties house anthems played with real power and emotion by a brass band. An album of tracks that reminds us that music isn't all about being genre specific, that the ludicrous record store racks of categories and sub-categories serve only to create legions of music fans that grow up blinkered to a true love of music. This album isn't about cynically combining two over hyped genres to broaden demographic appeal and shift more units (nothing personal Limp Bizkit...). It's about timeless melodies receiving fresh interpretation through the power and emotion of brass.

It's been a long time since I've listened to anything that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and a shiver go down my spine. The cover of KLF on this album did just that. Don't buy this album because it's a surreal novelty. Buy it because it's great!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a winner!, 28 Mar 2005
By A Customer
My boyfriend and I first heard 'Voodoo Ray' playing as some ambient background music in 'Loungelover'. After finding out that it was by the Williams Fairey Band I decided to buy it for my boyfriend as a bit of a "Do you remember this from Valentine's Day?" novelty gift. He loved it and has played Voodoo Ray back to back for what seems like an eternity! As if this isn't enough he is now trying to convert all of his mates - and they are coming round, slowly.
It is a truly great cd. If you weren't to know the tracks they sound like great melodies, well played, by a brass band. Ideal for a bit of background music when you've got mates over for dinner. Better still don't tell them what it is as when it finally dawns on them 'I know this track' the look on their faces is pricesless...
Pacific 202 is a winner if you're laying in bed, in the dark. Try it sometime!

5.0 out of 5 stars Acid Class, 24 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Acid brass is a hair brained idea: Take some classic houes and dance tracks from the late 80's and make a brass band play them. It's great, specially if you like to mix, imagine your mates faces when you drop cubik or voodo ray into your mix and its a brass band playing it. Superb!

5.0 out of 5 stars Williams-Fairey Band - lovebox weekender!!!
I'd never heard of this band before the Lovebox Weekender. I like most types of music, so happily sat down to listen...they were playing "old skool" house music!!! Read more

Acid House meets brass band seems weird, but really works. I saw the Williams Fairey band playing an Acid Brass set at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival a few years ago. Read more

I bought this as a present for someone and it was one of the most bizzare things I have ever heard.
