Romanelli"In 1997, Britain was awash in a postmodern wave of resurgent cultural imperialist glorification personified by the turgid Brit-pop phenomenon."....really, dude?
In 1997, Britain was awash in a postmodern wave of resurgent cultural imperialist glorification personified by the turgid Brit-pop phenomenon. While the newly-elected charismatic Machiavellian talisman Prime Minister Anthony B. Liar was busy entertaining establishment-friendly heir to the Beatles, Oasis, in number 10 Downing Street, an Australian band, The Church, had released a resurgent music of a different kind, a reinvented neo-pyschedelic-quasi-symphonic masterpiece.
The Church began their career by taking melancholy, pathos and angst from the book of glam-rock, and mixing it with the 'jangling' guitars and the melodic progressions from the book of folk-rock. Towards the late 1980s, the band changed direction and started to experiment with atmospheric arrangements which emphasized a semi-psychedelic counterpoint of guitar sounds.
The culmination of their sound experiments came together in the intricate and versatile 'Magician Among The Spirits' (1996), a production reminiscent of both King Crimson and Pink Floyd. 'Magician' is a complex and brilliant work, it's just a pity that the majority of music journalism appeared to have restricted their critical faculties of the time to the hype that surrounded 'Cool Britannia'.
