iTunes Review

Leave it to Clinic to release a collection of tracks taken from singles and EPs, using nothing but B-sides: there’s not an official A-side to be found here, although several tunes certainly rise to the occasion. Notorious for creative efforts that are miles outside the box, Liverpool’s most famous psych-garage band is also known for their dense layers of distorted guitars and vintage organs creating vivid, amphetamine-fueled drones and punk-edged dreamscapes. Interestingly, the integration of these B-sides into one compilation has resulted in one of the band’s most textured and interesting releases, and could serve as a starting point for the new fan. Funf serves up classic, Clinic psych-surges like “The Castle,” “Lee Shan,” and “The Majestic,” along with hearty sides of Stooges-styled punk fury on “Magic Boots” and haunted surf guitar on “The Scythe.” For dessert, “J.O/Love Is...” and “Christmas” are pretty baubles to be enjoyed guilt-free, and the bad-trip flavor of “Dissolution” and vaguely ‘50s inspired “Golden Rectangle” provide the dash of weird that every Clinic record needs. Yum.

Crazy out of my head

Clinic is crazy people music. People like me like them... People that are crazy. I got in to these guys at the same time that I got into the White Stripes and I went nut crazy over the stripes and forgot all about the Clinic. That was a shame as this band is really talented.

I Don't Know What Else I Would Ask For

I bought Funf (the actual CD) and sat stuck in Friday afternoon traffic with what sounds like a cool collection of Clinic B-sides. I have always been into the way Clinic layers their sound in a way that reminds me of Royal Trux without sounding like them. They have been a long standing influence on my band PaPER CAMERaS. I had a friend of mine that was bitching about the Do It! stating that it "sounded too Clinic-y". My reply was "well what else to you want from a Ramones record? I just want them to sound like the Ramones." I guess you have a point there he said. =m.

Finally

Holy crap it's here! I've been waiting for so long!
