Alison's voice was so sublimely melancoly and her pristine voice was the perfect musical vehicle for Stuart's dark existential lyrics. YMG's trademark sound centered around a weird mix of Philip's steel-hawser bass, Stuart's punchy rhythm guitar (played on a mapleglo Rickenbacker 425) and haunting, rhythmic Galanti electric organ lines, with Statton's vocals tentatively suspended in the space between them, their sound was unlike anything anyone had heard before. The fourth member of the band, Peter Joyce never appeared on stage with the bands but was a key player in the YMG sound. Joyce was a telephone engineer and an electronics whizz, who had made his own synthesiser from a kit. This was a small touch-sensitive keyboard with an attache case-like box of circuitry, with several knobs and dials. It made sounds similar to Eno's synths in the early Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, who employed similar 'low-tech/high-tech' electronics. The YMGs used tape recordings of Peter's home-made drum machine in the studio to record "Colossal Youth." "Colossal Youth" is important because the quirky and eccentric music of YMG became a touchstone a whole new generation of low tech electronica rockers like East River Pipe, Aphex Twin, Luna, Mazzy Star, Magnetic Fields, Will Oldham & Beck. I was lucky enough to see YMG during their first and only American tour at CBGBs in New York and I still have a primative film of that concert. After YMG broke up Alison formed a world music band with Spike and issued three excellent albums and Stuart made an album called "SignalPath." Both Alison's and Stuart's efforts were excellent but none of their post-YMG efforts became the musical zeitgeist that "Colossal Youth" was in 1979 when pop music stood at the crossroads of the punk rebellion & emerging post-punk indie music. YMG have periodically reunited and played concerts in England, Wales and other destinations in Europe, since 2007.

The album's beginning tracks are a wild continuous ride full of hips shaking and head bobbing highlights. It is definitly one of those projects with a remmeberable start. It is also quite surely the original idea that would be further explored on Nonagon Infinity. However, the albums loses it's speed and infectious potency after the 4th song (or passage) , and fails to truly pick it back up in terms of punch. With that being said, this shift in momentum does not stop I'm In Your Mind Fuzz from being a very tasteful listening experience. Although quite different from the starting tracks, The Slow jams and fresh psychadelic rock ideas in the back half of the album are pretty damn good on their own. The overall sound & aesthetic are well developped & shared throughout the 10 tracks. The thick yet lushious distorted guitars, various KGLW signature arrangements and piercing (harmonica?) melodies make for a dreamy and ominous wall of frequencies in your ear. 4/5 "  [+]  Reply

I haven't recovered from this saturation decades later. I only own this record and Hello I Must Be Going, by the time Sussudio came out I was done. Face Value is the exception, I still listen to this album on a regular basis. It balances the arty prog style with Phil's more pop side and works better than most of the pop oriented Genesis material - I prefer it to Abacab, Genesis, or any of their later albums. Its a diverse collection of songs that I don't tire of, a shame he moved towards more pop and ballads."  [+]  Reply

The Cult managed to weave together New Wave eighties vocal stylings, the loudness and grittiness of metal, and the New Age mysticism of post-punk, producing on their second full-length album one of the most undeniably great albums of the eighties. The high point here is the mysterious and hard-rocking "She Sells Sanctuary," one of the best, if not also one of the most lyrically impenetrable, songs of its generation. Unfortunately, The Cult never came close to making another album anywhere near this great, and they've gradually settled back into obscurity. But for the brief time that they shined, they sure did shine brightly."  [+]  Reply

"Rundgren's master stroke. It should be called Something/Everything since he pretty much does it all on this inspired smorgasbord of styles, ranging from hard rock and ballads to blue-eyed soul and grunge. And, of course, that tape hiss. Hugely influential, it is a miniature pop world unto itself."  Reply

Since the album does not contain any of Cooke's hits or best known songs, the cause of the album's reputation is rather achieved through its overall casual late-night blues mood. Cooke has written three of the twelve songs, and all three are among the album's strongest. Best known is probably "Mean Old World", which has both elements of blues and pop. "You Gotta Move" is also great with its light arrangement that allows room for a fine acoustic guitar. A young Billy Preston also helps to put his stamp on "Night Beat" - listen for example to his somewhat unconventional organ playing on "Little Red Rooster" The traditional "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" is also given a refreshingly simple arrangement, again, the acoustic guitar clear in the soundstage. Some of the songs are perhaps a little too neatly arranged to be really interesting, but of course all numbers are well produced with Cooke's voice as the focal point. "  [+]  Reply

The first two are actually "Dog Star Man" singles, but the recordings do not feature original guitarist Bernard Butler. "Trash" was suedes biggest hit but also the subsequent "Coming Up" singles ( "Beautiful Ones", "Saturday Night", "Lazy" and "Filmstar" ) reached the top-ten rankings. "Coming Up" is on the whole an unusually homogenous album where most songs have classic potential. Among the album-tracks Brett Anderson's beautiful ballad "By the Sea" should be highlighted. "Picnic by the Motorway" and "The Chemistry Between Us" are also fine ballads, while "She" and and "Star Crazy" really could have been released as singles. The deluxe version of this, Suede's best-selling album, has no less than 28 bonus tracks. Besides singles b-sides, demos and alternate versions, it has DVD videos and footage from two concert performances. The many b-sides are mostly solid enough, but few hardly really essential. As the best and most interesting I would highlight "Europe is Our Playground", "Every Monday Morning Comes" and "Sound of the Streets". The demo version of "She" is interesting - slower and more heavy."  [+]  Reply
