	The Beautiful South
		The bands third album "0898" continued the Beautiful South's success in the UK, However after the album was released in 1992 vocalist Briana Corrigan left the group, reports suggest she was upset with some of Pauls lyrics, and she was replaced with Jacqueline Abbot.
		"Miaow" (1994) singing "Everybody's Talkin'", Although the band had been successful to date, Nothing had quite prepared them for the release of their "Best Of" album "Carry On Up The Charts" which was to be released later that same year.

		This is grown-up pop resounding with heartfelt warmth and steely seriousness" (Uncut, 1/03); "The album is Carroll's best since her Factory days, and her most musically adventurous.
		Miaow also recorded two Peel Sessions, and left behind demos for an aborted Factory album.
		This CD acts as both a testament to a fine band, and an important signpost on the road to Cath Carroll's solo career" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 2/03); "Between 1985 and 1987 they shimmered and shivered, brittle and muted funk guitars invade your head" (Tangents, 1/03); "The second Peel session is fantastic...

		Miaow is one of those curious groups whose mystique and influential sway greatly overshadowed their meager recorded output.
		Miaow sounded nothing like any of those groups of course, which was inevitably why they should have been on the same bill of course; parts of the '80s being about risks and eclectic mixing.
		Miaow were never mainstream, which isn't to say they were pointedly or consciously 'difficult', just that they were too naturally obtuse and slightly skewed to ever really mix it with whatever it was that clogged up the mainstream charts of the time.

		The album’s instrumentation is as layered and varied as ever, moving effortlessly from soft pop-ballads to more witty, folk infused numbers.
		However this is an album to own if you're a fan of their style or of great tunes generally.
		Heaton would never be as melodramatic as to record a nervous breakdown concept album but with the breezy pop of Worthless Lie ("And when she calls i hope its you that dials") you'd never think it.

		Even with the addition of new vocalist Jacqueline Abbot, the band has not changed much between the two albums and what is different is subtle -- the arrangements are more intricate and the melodies are more graceful.
		The fact that the album is essentially a redo of previously established stylistic ground isn't apparent in just the production, handled again by Stephen...
		The Devlins showcase their smooth Irish brogue on their debut album Drift, and without the heavy guitars and lyrical imagery made famous by their Irish counterparts (U2, the Cranberries).

	Chairman Miaow
		I have a pet cat and his name is Chairman Miaow.
		Well he's a cat that miaows (a lot), he's red (okay ginger) and he commands all that he sees.
		When he's not miaowing or eating, he's probably sleeping, which is most of the time.

	Beautiful South: The Quench Thread
		I thought this was a very musically innovative album, but lyrically it fell in a Utah pothole (if you've never been to Utah, just imagine a hole in the road that's half a meter across and about 10-12 cm deep ruining your car).
		I see this as a non-issue, but I do want to point one thing out: If an album is judged by the singles, then there stands a good chance that Q will not be seen so much as Paul's work.
		The album arrived Thursday (thanks Ian!) and I gave it a cursory listen, but got a better opportunity to listen on the oh-so-exciting 2 1/2 hour drive from Fresno to San Jose on Saturday night.

		Though the album is slightly uneven, much of the music is excellent, highlighted by "Prettiest Eyes" and a cover of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'." ~ Stephen...
		The songs on "Miaow" range from the sensitive "Prettiest Eyes" to the disturbing "Mini-Correct", with a theme along the lines of "A Clockwork Orange".

		Sadly Miaow were destined never to complete their planned Factory album debut, and after several line-up changes finally parted company in 1988.
		After the collapse of Factory in November 1992 the relative expense of the project (including photo sessions with Robert Mapplethorpe) was cited as a factor in the label's demise, but in truth the album's high budget was only one of a series is fiscal indiscretions by Factory.
		The album appeared on their own Lilypad label (via Chicago-based Heart and Soul), and was described by one reviewer as a blend of Astrud Gilberto and Roxy Music, and by another as a shadowy corner of the adult pop universe.

		This album sums this up perfectly, as though they've always used strings and piano's in their music, they do that here, while not falling into the trap they fell in with their follow-up album 'Miaow,' where they maybe overdo it slightly.
		Their other albums are all still excellent, but not as consistent as this (I can't comment on 'Gaze,' as I listened to it once, and took it back for a refund; didn't have the time for it, although I liked 2 or 3 songs.
		This band is great, and though you should own all their albums, this is most recommended, and a must have for fans of this band, as well as genuine music-lovers who like their music fun, funky, yet also at times maudlin and poignant; and always interesting.

	purevolume™ \| Cath Carroll
		Cath started work on her solo album debut for Factory, England Made Me, in June 1988, and over the next year various sessions were recorded in Sheffield, Sao Paolo, London and Chicago.
		Cath's status as an indie cult figure was affirmed by DC band Unrest, who included the quirky tribute Cath Carroll on their 1993 4AD album Perfect Teeth.
		TCM marked a return to guitars, and the album was a critical success, with the word noir frequently aired in describing the shadowy lyrical undertow and understated vocal delivery.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Beautiful South - the Band
		Their singles compilation album, Carry On Up The Charts (1994), has sold over 2.2 million copies in the UK (at the time of writing) - the equivalent of roughly one in seven households having a copy of the album.
		The album's title, and some of the lyrics it contained, seemed to relate to the excessive fondness for alcohol that Heaton has admitted to in several interviews over the years, but has recently claimed to have overcome.
		The album was duly released in September 2001.

		Not only is there a love song to her called "Cath Carroll," but after listening to England Made Me, you could make a case that Carroll would probably not be unjustified in being a little nervous of this fellow who, seemingly, references her record throughout his record.
		Oh, and there's also a rumor about that this record was what caused the death of Factory Records, what with the expensive budget that was spent on it, the recording sessions in Brazil, the photo sessions with Robert Mapplethorpe, with little return.
		It's also an album of dark deception, because you'd also be correct in thinking that it's straightforward dance-music.

		Having somehow overlooked The Beautiful South until 1997, I bought all their albums by 1998, and, after many plays, I still find MIAOW to be the album that has left the biggest impression on me. To find a weak song on it is difficult; "Poppy", perhaps?
		Miaow was released in 1994 & in my opinion is one of The Beautiful South's best albums.
		It has 54 minutes of music which is much better going than alot of their albums, as you do feel that you've got more than...

		In the early 1980's, in her hometown of Manchester, Cath and indie label mogul Liz Naylor ran a fanzine and formed the The Fall-inspired band, Gay Animals.
		Miaow appeared on the NME's seminal C86 record, a compilation of so-called jangly pop bands, which also included Primal Scream and the Wedding Present.
		After Miaow parted company, Cath visited Chicago to record with indie demagogue, Steve Albini whom she worked with on Train You're On from England Made Me.

		this album is pregnant with honesty, charm and wonderfully engaging sounds and musical ideas.
		In a review of the album, The Drum Media singled out the ‘gloriously angular guitar solos’ and described the variety of the record as being ‘just like an old Beatles album’.
		The songs are ready to go and look to expand on the extremities of the band’s stuff to date — from intimate folk-like settings to epic pop and rock wig-outs.

	Mundane Sounds
		Their first release was a three-track EP entitled "Belle Vue," and was a charming debut--"charming" meaning cute in a child learning how to talk; they're precious for trying, but they're not succeeding, and the only thing that can help them is growth and maturity.
		Not too long after, they recorded their first Peel Session, and these songs reveal that Miaow had refined their sound even further; "Did She" and "Following Through" are both rather strong numbers--much better than anything they'd previously done.
		By the time they reached their Factory debut, "When It All Comes Down," Miaow really were at the top of their game.

	LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Fog and Ocean: Self-Titled
		She represents the gloomy element of the album, which always walks a precarious line between the bipolar thoughts associated with happiness and sadness.
		One of the songs on the album sounds much like the Magnetic Fields’ song Smoke and Mirrors, now steadily blaring from her headset as she snaps out of her somnambular trance in time to dodge the contently aloof boy.
		All this is accomplished without going the route of the emotionally volatile emo bands whose shouts on the airwaves have the tendency to force the individual to overlook the sheer power of passion communicated through a softer medium: the fragilely quiet and disturbingly brooding mind.

	Argumentum Ad Populum » 2003 » January
		Three years have passed since last solo album and at least 6 years have passed since the poor distributed Pure Joy album was released on Flydaddy's stillborn The Great Utopia imprint.
		Certainly of note is that Sepia-Tone will be reissuing DMZ's sole studio album, released in 1978 on Sire and vanished into the abyss of collector scum since then.
		Supposedly the concept behind his new project is "psychadelic blues", which from what I saw last night at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, translates into raw, effects pedal warped covers of blues standards, dicing up the form and recombining through Coomes' guitar and keyboard pummelling.
