Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Elastica's fortunes may have been on the wane since they released the five-years-in-the-making The Menace, but the release of The Radio 1 Sessions, is an assured, spiky and immensely enjoyable parting shot that more than justifies the furore that initially greeted their arrival. Culled from the sessions that took place between 1994 and 1999, the album is inevitably heavily weighted towards songs from their eponymous debut and the ensuing singles and B-sides, given the prolonged period of inactivity between the two albums. Despite the band's--namely interminably cool singer Justine Frischmann's--indie celebrity status, it's worth noting that their debut sold half a million copies on account of their distinctive pop-fuelled take on new wave, rather than any notoriety that continually surrounded them. Opening with the brittle, sparky "Annie" and carousing through such gems as "Spastica", the eerie "Hold Me Now" and the synth-led "Human", the album is a prescient reminder of the sheer immediacy and pop thrill of Elastica's songs. By its very nature, this is a fan-only purchase, as songs rarely detract from their original versions, (there're also two unreleased tracks), but as an indication of how zeitgeist-grabbing Elastica truly were, the album is a blast. --Suzannah Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars we'll miss them., 9 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This new collection of unreleased versions really restates just how good a band elastica really were. Even if you already own both albums and all the singles then this cd is worth owning for the handful of never released songs and the fact that many of the versions on this cd are actually better than the originals, particularly on the material that later ended up on the menace. The only bum notes are the always awful 'KB' and the slightly embarrassing christmas session but for any fan of the band and for newcomers this is a cd well worth having. it is also a sad reminder of the quality of music elastica could still be making if it hadn't all gone wrong.
