The Lovechild of the Flaming Lips & Mercury Rev,
By
This review is from: Start Something (Audio CD)
The Guardian recommended "Maps" as one of the bands to watch in 2007, whilst Colin Murray included "Don't Fear" (not included here) as one of the best tracks of 2006.
On this mini-album, both are not wrong. It sounds like the lovechild of the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev, with a bit of Midlake and echos of Spaceman3 thrown in for good measure. Any sound which has been influenced by these bands must be worth at least a listen. To learn that it was recorded in a bedroom in Northampton makes it all the more stunning. Maps must be going places - I for one will be following them.

great new things,
This review is from: Start Something (Audio CD)
maps is a new band which has got a lot of publisity on radio 1's in new music we trust especially collin murray, and rightly so. A cool laid back band that seem to form the soundtrack to your life whatever your feeling

Where it all started,
By
This review is from: Start Something (Audio CD)
James Chapman, aka Maps, has a special place in my heart. 'We Can Create' is one of the finest debut albums ever, taking the best of nugaze, The Stone Roses, Spiritualized and The Byrds and weaving it together with his own personal electronica touch. Start Something is the aptly named E.P. that set us on the road to that masterpiece.
The production is abit sparser, which makes a change on 'To The Sky' and 'Lost My Soul', and there is a real sense in the six tracks that Chapman was gathering his various thoughts. It is a very good E.P., but at the price for four new tracks (two appear on We Can Create) it is really for completists only. We Can Create is the essential for anyone, whilst Start Something allows us to look at Maps' infancy retrospectively. Pick: Some Winter Song (if only because its Maps at his most J. Spaceman)
