BACK BACK BACK! 6 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
A new Shriekback album, you say ? Surely you jest? After God knows how many years in the wilderness post-Sacred City, Shriekback return with a blistering new Album. Entitled "Naked Apes and Pondlife", this is a fine return to form from one of the eighties most original, daring and creative bands ever to come out of Great Britain.

First glances at the not very informative sleeves notes had me quaking with fear as the instrument list contained articles like didge, bodhran and -gulp- accordian......but this is Shriekback and they manage to wrestle some of the most amazing sounds from this instruments. Twiddly folk nonsense this is not!

After what appeared to be their swansong (Sacred City) this comes as a welcome surprise....why does this band not have an ENORMOUS web presence?

This is the perfect soundtrack to Grant Morrisons "The Invisibles" (and therefore "The matrix"). Dark....edgy...humourous....organic....soft.....

yeilding....gorgeous.....terrifying.....its all here.

Groovy enough to sit proudly along side "Oil and Gold", "Jam Science" and "Sacred City" but accessible enough to lure the unsuspecting....airplay and some sort of promotion/tour willing.....a single, perhaps? Could I suggest "Everythings on Fire"? Although, "Pondlife" "anal Piss-machine" and "String, Sedatives, Weaponry" are my favourite tracks "EOF" is probably the most commercial.

This is Genius.....pure and simple. I love them, I want to have their children....and its good to see LU back in the fold, too.....

Shriekback are back! And I think I need to go and lie down......

Shreikback is back 12 May 2000
By Lance Tilford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Naked Apes and Pond Life is the best Shriekback project since Oil and Gold and is far better crafted than Dancing Years or Sacred City. Though Barry Andrews and Martyn Barker are the only two original Shriekers here and Carl Marsh and Dave Andrews are very much missed since bowing out after Oil and Gold, this is an exciting, melodic, deeply textured and multirhythmic return to form, not to be missed by any ardent or casual Shriekback fan. Definitely worth splurging for the import, as it's unlikely it will ever be domestic (and why has their all-time best, Jam Science, never been released on CD? Hello? Is anyone working on this?).

outtakes, yes, but not a bad collection 27 Aug 2002
By M. Derby - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I agree with Lance Tilford; this is better than Sacred City (or anything post-Oil and Gold, really). Many of these songs have an "out there" quality that much of Shriekback's later efforts lacked (like, who thought it was a good idea to cover KC and the Sunshine Band?).

Aberrations is better though, and their best albums (Jam Science, Oil and Gold) are much better. BTW Lance, the reason Jam Science hasn't come out on CD is that the band never wanted it released as an LP. Legal disputes between band and label, in other words. At least all of Jam Science's tracks except three (Partyline, Hubris, and the non-remixed Hand on My Heart) are available on various CD compilations.

Buyer Beware 10 Dec 2005
By wise acre - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I've tried ordering this title twice, and received the CD "Canada Songs" by the Daughters instead both times. I've since discovered that when you add it to your cart, it comes up as Naked Apes and Pond Life by Daughters (which still doesn't explain why I got the Canada Songs CD by Daughters). Arrgh. I've given up on ordering it until Amazon corrects it's database.
