Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With one of his ex-bandmates currently exploring the delights of retro-Hammond-organ pop under the moniker of the Clint Boon Experience, former Inspiral Carpets frontman Tom Hingley has opted for the simplest approach possible--just acoustic guitar and voice--on his debut solo album. It's a bold move because with no musical arrangement and no production tricks to hide behind, the songs are about as exposed as they can be. Curiously, for a Mancunian so closely identified with the early 90s indie/baggy scene, Hingley now sounds like Paul Weller might if he had been born somewhere out beyond Route 66. This would be alarming indeed, if not for the fact that his songs too have moved on stylistically so that they match his new vocal mannerisms. Where the lyrical content of Inspiral Carpets songs was often hard to grasp, these songs are admirably direct and simple, mostly dealing with the eternal verities of male-female relationships that have inspired songwriters down the ages. Hingley isn't doing anything new, but there's an increased maturity in his writing and a dramatic improvement in his singing that suggests he can thrive as a solo artist if his former band's fans have grown up along with him. --Johnny Black

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerfully moving album, 3 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This is a brave album with lots of emotion. Although it's all acoustic, there's plenty of variety in rhythm to keep the interest. Tom's a great songwriter and a great singer and this album really shows his talent off.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voice of the Inspirals in great album shocker, 14 Sep 2000
By Damian Morgan "braveuk" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well,well...what a great album!Just voice and acoustic guitar, but the power of that voice and the beauty of the guitar playing makes this a very moving and tremendously heartfelt record. Most of the songs are in the classic 'love and loss' tradition of the lonesome balladeer, with some lovely lyrical turns. Tom was the singer in 90's Madchester stalwarts Inspiral Carpets, where his vocals came second to Clint Boon's all powerful, and at times irritating, Farfisa (NOT a hammond!) organ, but on this album Tom shows the world that he has a truly beautiful pair of lungs! This album deserves to be heard, so put away your copy of NME, don't be dictated to by the them and what they think is the 'Flavour of the month', take this album to your heart. In a climate of over produced pop-pap and overwraught coldplay-style college boys, this is a breath of fresh air, and in my opinion, the secret gem of the year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keep Britain Untidy - deep album, 27 Jan 2007
This review is from: Keep Britain Untidy (Audio CD)
Tom Hingley's Solo album "Keep Britain Untidy" is a deep album full of observations on love,life and experiences, Dark and moody in places, rising to a crescendo of uplift in others, it covers as wide a range of topics as you'd have come to expect from Oldham's finest. A signed copy has pride of place in my collection, as well as His fantastic "Soulfire" album. If you are a Madchester Music Casualty then buy this to see how the whole scene can evolve. If tom is new to you then check out - The Lovers, The Inspiral Carpets and the Clint Boon Experience, Silent Partners and the recently reformed Northside and James. Quality.
