Magnetic Waves of Sound: The Best Of<\/strong> (Esoteric\/Cherry Red Recordings)<\/em><\/p>\n This lavish new set documents Birmingham\u2019s favourite freakbeat quintet The Move in a way that previous compilations have only hinted at. This CD\/DVD set includes an informative 20-page booklet with a complete history of the band including photos, a double-sided poster that features examples of period adverts, more rare photos and clippings as well as a DVD offering excellent German and U.K. television program performances from the time.<\/p>\n Originally formed as a quasi-super group as a result of members leaving other bands to form a new unit as The Move they went on to build upon their manifold talents and deliver some credible chart action, in the U.K. at least. The original group consisted of singer\/multi-instrumentalist\/songwriter Roy Wood, drummer Bev Bevan, vocalist Carl Wayne, and utility players Ace Kefford (bass) and Trevor Burton (guitar\/bass) and later, as members left for various reasons, included Rick Price and future Electric Light Orchestra main man Jeff Lynne. The earliest tracks here (1966-1968) arguably represent the band at their very best.<\/p>\n The songs are delightfully delivered creations that include top-level vocal harmonies (all members sang), energetic instrumentation and arrangements and the kind of colorfulness that speaks to the somewhat off-center creative genius of Roy Wood. Indeed \u201cKilroy Was Here\u201d, \u201cFire Brigade\u201d, \u201cNight Of Fear\u201d, \u201cFlowers In The Rain\u201d, \u201cBlackberry Way\u201d, \u201c(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree\u201d and \u201cI Can Hear The Grass Grow\u201d rank as some of the best psychedelic, Beatles-informed pop music ever created anywhere. Of course the band had to change their sound to try and match the times and their rather stolid and uneven attempts at period heaviness only proved they were perhaps trying a bit too hard. Nonetheless, as an introduction to this band, the set works brilliantly and is a definite must for neophytes and a worthy addition to any longer serving fans\u2019 collection. The waves of sound created by the Move were truly magnetic. (21 tracks CD\/21 tracks DVD-Region Free)<\/p>\n Let It Slide<\/strong> (Alive Naturalsound Records)<\/em><\/p>\n When it comes to fleshy rock and roll nicknames it doesn\u2019t get much fatter than \u201cPorkchop\u201d. Mark Holder (to his mum) is a veteran singer\/guitarist-songwriter that has sprung from the brawling punk blues mud of Tennessee\u2019s excellent Black Diamond Heavies and his first solo album rates as a grimy and exciting contender next to former band mate James Leg\u2019s highly rated 2016 release \u201cBlood On The Keys\u201d. Holder is the kind of player that careens around the edges of his busted blues sound to the point of distinction. His quavering electric slide guitar work and forceful acoustic blues reverence both hit the proverbial mark and while there are sonic familiarities to past masters he plays outside of mere imitation. \u201cDisappearing\u201d riffs on a \u201cGimme Shelter\u201d like arrangement while his version on murder-blues classic \u201cStagger Lee\u201d runs out like a Led Zeppelin 3 outtake. \u201c38\u201d is a classic warning song and between having a 38 year old woman outside the bar in his car and his own 38 problems it\u2019s a wonder that Holder survives at all. \u201cStranger\u201d offers a country twang that would suit Johnny Cash\u2019s ghost and album closer \u201cBaby Please Don\u2019t Go\u201d burns rubber even further. This kind of fiery swamp boogie is a perfect tonic for whatever ails you right now. Worth a listen, with gravy on top.
