Many years ago Cud released a song called Through the Roof, I saw it as a cassette single in a bargain bin for 50p. I thought 50p on a band I knew nothing about was worth a punt. I played it all the way home on my walkman - I was so impressed that by the time I made it home I had decided to lay my hands on absolutely anything else I could get by Cud. What I got was Asquarius.
It is a very rare day when you buy an album that you like ALL songs on. This album fell into that category (As does just about everything else they produced.)
I played this album constantly until I wore the tape out. It would be hard to pick out favorites as, with any good album, I kept changing my mind every time I listened to it.
If you liked the singles of this period: i.e. Through the Roof, Rich and Strange, Purple Love Balloon - you should like the rest. It it quite simply very uplifting to listen to. Perfect summer driving music. Even its slower tune Spanish Love Song brings a smile to your face.
I cannot recomend this album enough. If you like this then you should like the follow up showbiz which is very similar in style - they could have quite easily been put together a double album.

It baffles me why Cud didn't hit it big with this. Cracking songs, with wit, honesty and poignancy in all of them. And some damn fine tunes tying it all together. Even me, a doom & gloom Tindersticks and Joy Div fan would be hard pushed to leave this off my MP3 collection-it's a cracker.
Think of it as a more fun version of the Stuffies with a little more surrealism and you can't go wrong.
Mind you, a bit hard to track down these days...

I'm not going to do an in depth review of this album. There are other reviews that do that very well.
All I will say is, WHY WEREN'T CUD MASSIVE!?!!
This album is genius from start to finish...

Asquarious review
A neat, more polished follow up to Leggy Mambo, and an altogher more diverse sound. The usual CUD trademarks are all there, including the heavy bass and chunky guitars. Read more
