Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Don't Fly into the Sun, the debut album from Beats for Beginners (Manchester's low-fi synth answer to Badly Drawn Boy meets the Beta Band), makes for a very interesting listen indeed. The band, who caused a storm on our airwaves in early 2003 with their tongue and cheek single "Kill All DJs" certainly do not disappoint with this long player, consisting of twelve catchy rock/synth pop tunes.
The man behind this album goes by the name of Mike TV (possibly a big fan of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) has a similar vocal deliver of Louis Elliot of Rialto, gives this album a very urban feel. This is enhanced by the very eighties synths, synonymous with bands such as Heaven 17, The Human League, which when juxtaposed with "Mr TV's" almost nonchalant voice, make for some very original pop music. The title track, harps back to the psychedelic sixties, with it finely picked electric guitar, synth sitar and "roboticised" vocal, is reminiscent of early Traffic, without the R 'n' B riffs. As soon as this song is over, we are flung twenties years into the early/mid eighties, with the synth driven aforementioned single, "Kill All DJs". Things to become a little on the trite side, with the predictable "Need you Tonight", but this is short lived, as the quirky rock of "Little Rock & Roll Ghost" soon gets things back on track and this continues with the Oasis-riff-driven pub rock of "Something to Say".
The songs on this album effortlessly sway from this influence to that, making for an intriguing listen. Just when you have this album pinned down as and ode to the eighties, it goes and shifts focus to the sixties, occasionally stopping off in the seventies.--and why not? Jamie Clark
