Wow,

This review is from: Pitcher, Flask & Foxy Moxie (Audio CD)
This is a very different work from the first album "Heligoland". It sounds like a man stepping carefully back from the bleak wilderness of that his first solo work to find more subtle colour in the world, or at least the world around him. The first album dealt with scratchy guitars and bleak black and white coastal imagery. Pitcher, Flask and Foxy Music is everything you would not expect from a follow-up to "Heligoland" and that is what makes it great. All artists should evolve and move on (take note U2!) and Friese Green proves more than capable with epic songs like "She Walked With Me To The End Of The Stars" and thrasy little tracks like "Down To Zero" that hint back to "Heligoland". But despite all this origionality you can still recognize the "Talk Talk" heritage. Fans of that band should love these two Friese-Green albums. Low-key-made-in-the-shed music for those fed-up with all that got too big in the 80's and 90's. Enjoy.

This review is from: Pitcher, Flask & Foxy Moxie (Audio CD)
The cover of this album by erstwhile Talk talk collaborator Tim Friese-Green aptly illustrates its greatest virtue - an organic "made in the shed" sound in which thrashing guitars, rich melodic keyboards and shards of percussion all feature prominently. Meanwhile the nasal tone of TFG's voice makes him sound frazzled but never fey - like a schoolteacher with a heavy cold, if you like.
But the overall feel of the album is up-tempo and the whole thing hangs together beautifully and never lets go from start to finish, the highlight being "Semantics Got Me Caned" - probably the best song ever with "Semantics" in the title! The songs take some unexpected turns and so the album requires repeated listening until they become familiar but once you get there the rewards are worthwhile. A great unknown album.
