Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Not content with pillaging the past for inspiration, on Lick Your Ticket, Chikinki have taken the ambitious step of plugging into the mains and trying to blast themselves into the future. In many ways, this Bristol quintet resembles your everyday Brit indie band--tousled of hair and vintage of t-shirt--but like Cooper Temple Clause or late Primal Scream, Chikinki are all about synthesis. Drum kits are replaced by sensor pads and skittering electronica loops, guitars are run through code-crunching banks of effects, and the meat of the band's sound is provided by two duelling keyboard players, Boris Exton and Trevor Wensley. Only the presence of vocalist Rupert Browne tethers the band down into conventional rock territory: his voice bounds between a stargazing croon ("Drink") or a Mick Jagger yelp ("To Sacrifice a Child", "Ether Radio"), depending on whether his band are luxuriating in warm keyboard textures or hurtling along at a rate of electro-rock knots. Chikinki's ingenuity is commendable, but if Lick Your Ticket has an Achilles' Heel, it's a lack of memorable songs to keep you coming back. Still, while it's on it's a blast, and maybe that's what really matters. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Experiment with Chikinki - I did. 31 Jan 2005
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
OK, so I'm no music journalist, but I can tell you one thing; no amount of describing Chikinki's sound will suffice, you just have to hear it for yourself. If you've seen them live you'll be pleased to know this album manages to capture some of that raw energy whilst retaining that unmistakable coolness. If you havn't seen them live, you really should, the live set will leave you wanting more, and this album will at least give you something to chew on until your next Chikinki fix. If you've landed here from a search for the "Ether Radio" clip which featured on the recent Saab93 TV ad, trust me, get the album - you will not be disappointed. If you're new to the band, give it a couple of times over, and you'll be hooked. If you want the full experience get this then go see them on tour and you'll be treated to some classic tunes from LYT, plus some fresh and funky new ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grows on you... 18 Jan 2005
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
In my opinion this has to be listened to a few times so that the songs make an impression, but once they have this is an album which will stick in your head and one you will keep coming back to. Their cool electro-rock sound which alternates between lively and spine tinglingly mellow reminds me a lot of Soulwax, so if they are your cup of tea I recommend buying this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ticketlicking Good!!! 22 Jun 2004
By Jones
Format:Audio CD
This album is phenonomal, from the chunky riff of the opening track and Assasinator 13, through to the closing seconds of the final track Forever. Some of the tracks sound familiar, like the awesome Ether Radio, which breaks little ground, but they still sound fresh, thanks to the unique synths and clever fusion of live drums with techno beats.

Do yourself a favour and buy this album. In these tired times of retro bands whose names start with the prefix "The...", a band with a name as unpredictable and sexy as their music is more should be more than welcome to your collection.
