The Music were originally one of the hottest new acts on the British rock scene. Better than The Coral, more generally exciting than all out Brit-Emocore output. They were fresh.
It all went wrong for The Music when a major indie label beckoned and they were teamed up with a producer who stripped their sound down to basic tradition rock components and then glossed it up and made it radio friendly.
Here, with this CD, you get a look at Take The Long Road And Walk It and The Walls Get Smaller, the original tracks that, obviously too raw for TV, were reproduced or simply left out of the final album cut. These were the tracks that started the buzz.
And rightly so, because the original Take The Long Road... was a juggernaut of gutteral teenage power, and trancendal energy infused rock. Similarly The Walls... is the dark, decending claustro-rock instrumental quite possibly at it's best.
Buy this single, even if you have the album, and just consider how it could have been, and, if we're all lucky, how it may just be again...

The second part of the 2-CD set of this re-recorded, re-released masterpiece from Leeds band The Music features the 'original' version of Take the Long Road... (released in 2001 as a limited edition 7" single) which will be great for comparison purposes to see just how much the band have grown in confidence and ability over the past year. The original was a moody, atmospheric number that crept up on you out of nowhere and left a massive impression, the new version is a masterclass in slickly produced, stomping brilliance. Widely different version of the same song, but both amazing in their own way. There's also live favourites 'The Walls Get Smaller' and 'New Instrumental' - both epic instrumentals that leave you breathless. As a special bonus there's also the original video, released by Fierce Panda records last year! To to be missed.

I've only had the pleasure of glimpsing this new band a few times, but what I've seen is definitely new and original. I'd love to see more. Might have the potential of repetitive-sounding songs (Creed style, if you will) but the young band has a ton of time to grow and stretch their talent.
