Album Review
On the one hand, this album demonstrates business as usual with latter-day beat poet John Cooper-Clarke; on the other, it is ripe with unease in terms of Cooper-Clarke's direction, thanks to a more than casual nod to the obligations of a musical approach — Cooper-Clarke comes perilously close to singing in some spots, and dangerously close to copping a rap approach in others, while the Invisible Girls' backing keeps falling into a low-budget pop trap. Cooper-Clarke's poems remain quirky, and sometimes have his old cynical bite ("Beasley Street" sees him pouring words out against a gradually more urgent backing), but there are far too many times on this set when he seems at a loss as to where he's going. Still, he remains unique.
Customer Reviews
Classic
If you only buy one JCC album, get this one. First bought this in 1980 on cassette (remember them?!?) having seen him live in 1979 on the same bill as Elvis Costello. Simply a classic album, well worth the money
jcc
He is, and I don't mean this shallowly, is a marvellous foil against all that goes on in music at the moment. Apart from The Fall. It's them words but let's not forget them Invisible Girls from way back then.
