Product Description

CD Description

Duckworth-Lewis Method are a band fronted by the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, and named after a complicated scoring system in cricket. Their entire self-titled debut is inspired by the game of cricket, and is described by Hannon, and his bandmate, Thomas Walsh of Pugwash, as 'a kaleidoscopic musical adventure through the beautiful and rather silly world of cricket.' Preceded by the single 'The Age Of Revolution'.

5.0 out of 5 stars It shouldn't work. But it does., 30 Jun 2009
By Nobby H. (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
It's very quirky and it's a cricket concept album. But never mind that. This record is choc full of mesmerizing pop gems, a real soundtrack to the summer with bouncy and funky tracks here, sweet smiley stuff there and, just over there, hilarity abounds. The only person who won't like this record is Mike Gatting. And even he'll probably like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to be a cricket fan to enjoy this!, 1 Jul 2009
This is the soundtrack to the summer - light, gentle, mellow, whimsical and melodic. If you like either Pugwash or The Divine Comedy, you won't be disappointed by this collaboration.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the first thing about cricket: this is an album best listened to relaxing in the sunshine and it'll bring a smile to your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sound of the Summer!, 4 Jul 2009
By Good Wolf (South West, UK) - See all my reviews
This is really a surprise - what started off as a niche-sounding side project of Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) and Thomas Walsh (Pugwash) has resulted in a proper gem of an album. Catchy, upbeat, happy, funny, nostalgic, mellow - and great, great tunes. It really does conjure up images and memories of lazy, hazy summer days. And if you think that the cricket theme will be overbearing or excluding, don't worry, it isn't - this collection of songs is far more universal than that.

The immediate standout tracks are "The Age of Revolution", "Gentlemen and Players", "Jiggery Pokery", "Meeting Mr Miandad" (which will be in your head for ages afterwards), "Flatten the Hay".

Treat yourself to this album - it'll be the perfect companion during the summer months. And with its carefree tone it's a great antidote to all the angst-ridden music that so many bands pump out.
