If ever a band could be accused of throwing everything but the kitchen sink into their music ( and that's probably in there somewhere clanging around ) its Working For A Nuclear Free City. The Manchester four piece really do cram a head spinning amount of influences into their swirling eddies of sound. This is not a criticism however . It's a recommendation, for while Businessmen and Ghosts is something of a mixed bag spread out over 104 minutes of music and two discs it offers some wonderful soniferous delights.
This double album though while offering some new material is actually a re-release of their eponymous debut album and the ""Rocket E.P with some new material tacked on . There are echoes of so many other bands in their music it's seems almost pointless listing them all but if I say hear The Shamen ( circa In "In Gorbachev We Trust" ) Techno Animal , Beta Band,Scorn ,Xtrmntr period Primal Scream , Future Sound Of London and State Of Grace then this just about covers it though I cannot promise I won't drop other random comparisons into the review later.
Genre wise it takes in techno , post rock , ambient , funk , trance and that's often within in one song. This if course could make the songs coagulated messes but for the most part the songs are cleverly arranged and beautifully structured and rare for an album of this nature hardly any of the tracks outstay their welcome. "Rocket " filters diffuse buried in the mix vocals through a Stones Roses style( I did warn you about this ) psychedelic wig out.... Read more ›

Can hear the manchester roots on some of the songs. Then it completely changes into something wonderous and melodic. I reccomended this to a few of my friends who also enjoyed it.

You've got this far, all you need to do now is buy the thing. Trust me, in the words of the late, great Pork Recordings, 'buyer remorse' will not be an issue.

I got a tip about WFANFC on a music forum. In fact the tip sounded like "you will like this underrated band". And yes, it is true - i like it. This is very quality music, that would be embrased by a lot of music fans.
The genre can be qualified as "light underground", something between Unkle and Mike Oldfield. A mix of electronic and alternative/indie-rock. Sounds very pleasant.
I believe a lot of people would like it. That is why it is pretty shame this band is so unknown.
