This masterpiece of an album kicks off with Chinese Burn and stamps an Oasis-esq sound on this album. Cartoon moon follows and then Deja Voodoo the title track completes a perfect start.
It's amazing that this album didn't catapult Heavy Stereo to the top of the charts, a mixture of Led Zeppelin like guitar lines and the energy of Oasis combined with Gem Archers snarly vocals make this a brilliant piece of work.
Crown of Thoughts is one the most beautiful songs ever written, other high lights include Mouse In a Hole and Reaching for Heaven.
If you like Oasis and bands like them you can't go wrong with album.

I got this album soon after seeing Gem (HS's lead singer/guitarist) play at Wembley in the new Oasis line-up. It's not easy to get hold of these days, as Heavy Stereo's albums have all been deleted.
Quite simply, as soon as the first track (Chinese Burn) ran through its intro, I could tell what sort of record - and how good - it is. It rocks. In some ways, reminiscent of Oasis' Be Here Now - only miles better and more restrained.
The opening riff on the title track Deja Voodoo stands out as a great moment for me - funky Led Zeppelin? Tell Yer Ma is a good stomp-along, Cartoon Moon is nicely chilled, Reaching For Heaven is gorgeous, and Crown of Thoughts - well, you'll just have to find out for yourself. There are absolutely no bad or suspect songs on this album - almost flawless rock n roll. And Gem wrote everything, which can only be good for Oasis.
I suppose the greatest testimony I can offer for this album is the fact that I want to learn how to play the entire thing (I'm a guitarist), and could happily squeeze a couplke of these songs into a set. I've already figured out Crown of Thoughts and Chinese Burn, with Deja Voodoo not too far off.
Basically, if you're an Oasis fan, you NEED this record. If you like the Britpop rocknroll scene, you will really enjoy this album. I've only had it a couple of months, and it practicall lives in my stereo. Five stars? I'd give it six!

As one quarter of The Stezzas I would like to say that it is nice to know that there are people out there that know our record.Obviously,lots of people heard of us through Gem joining with Oasis.I get people asking me if they can get hold of our album and I allways tell 'em to look on the 'net.
Keep playing our tracks as loud as possible 'cos that is how we played and recorded it!!

Heard of Heavy Stereo a while ago but never really gave it a listen. Bought Deja Voodoo only 3 weeks ago and already can't stop listening to it. Read more

a pretty catchy little indie number
one of the finer specims left over from the brit pop era of the late 1990's. Not as highly publised as oasis but then again it all comes down to luck! Read more
