	BBC - Wales - Young Marble Giants
		Young Marble Giants were a three piece post-punk group from Cardiff.

		YMG formed in 1979 and were a three-piece from Cardiff, Wales consisting of Stuart Moxham (guitars, keyboards), his brother Phil (bass), and Alison Statton (voice).
		YMG were the trio of Alison Statton (voice), Philip Moxham (voice) and Stuart Moxham (guitar and organ).
		Young Marble Giants brought a skeletal approach to previously unexplored territories of minimalist pop structure, with the ethereal voice of Alison Statton lovingly grafted on top.

	Young Marble Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Young Marble Giants were a Cardiff post-punk band, a trio formed in 1978.
		Smith, who was an art student in Cardiff and later Nottingham around the time the YMGs were forming, was to provide artwork for several of the singles that were later made by Weekend and the Gist, Stuart Moxham's later project.
		Very early in their existence, there was a fourth member of the YMGs: Peter Joyce, Phil and Stuart Moxham's cousin.

		Young Marble Giants were a Cardiff post-punk musical trio formed in 1978.
		Very early in their existence, a fourth member of the YMGs was the cousin of Phil and Stuart, Peter Joyce, an electronics whizz, who had made his own synthesiser from a kit.
		The YMGs used the synthesised rhythm machines available at the time (thet late 1970's) since they had no drummer.

	Writer's Block article
		Young Marble Giants were TOO GOOD to just get buried underneath a mountain of rock history.
		Like the early Feelies, YMG have undramatic lyrics (which obliquely reflect their quiet lives), delivered in a talky, uninspired voice, self-effacingly buried in a mix dominated by "quirky" and soulless rhythm.
		When Cabaret Voltaire and Young Marble Giants appeared in the Bay Area in Fall 1980, I was fortunate enough to catch two of their three local performances.

		YMG were devotees of the minimalist school with two instrumentalists; Stuart Moxham on guitar and organ, and his brother, Phil Moxham on bass.
		YMG used a twist of irony and an avant garde sensibility to subvert pop tradition to their own ends.
		It appeared that YMG was deconstructing their own music and challenging the listener to unmask the truth lurking between the lines.

	Pitchfork: Young Marble Giants Reunite!
		Before crumbling to dust/solo projects after just three brief years and one full-length album together, minimalist Welsh indie-poppers Young Marble Giants managed to leave an appropriately imposing legacy and an indelible mark in the annals of post-punk.
		This reunion gig apparently came about at the behest of Domino Records, who are believed to have a reissue of the Giants' lone LP, Colossal Youth, planned for the near future.
		Young Marble Giants, meanwhile, haven't exactly been strangers-- the original trio of Alison Statton, Stuart Moxham, and Philip Moxham, along with honorary fourth Giant Andrew Moxham, reconvened back in 2004 at Wales' BBC Radio studios for a documentary shoot.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Young Marble Giants - 1980 (reissued 1994) - Colossal Youth Music Review
		Young Marble Giants made marching music for amputated plastic soldier figurines—no—escape themes for hyperactive infants scratching at the vinyl siding of their high-walled cribs.
		The truth is, Young Marble Giants were a Cardiff, Wales trio who made one album, Colossal Youth, released in 1980 (and one subsequent EP, Test Card, which is tacked on to the end of the CD), and broke up shortly thereafter.
		And the organ would be well-suited for the score of a drive-in sci-fi picture show—something with giant turtles and screaming women in paisley skirts, no doubt.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Alison Statton and Spike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Alison Statton was the voice of Young Marble Giants, and in some ways her work with Spike is like a less pop/rock more jazz/pop Young Marble Giants.
		In between Young Marble Giants and taking the Alison Statton and Spike name, both artists were part of the band, Weekend, which released La Varieté (1982) and the ep Live At Ronnie Scots (2003).
		It's still so much in advance of the times that doing the same kind of thing as Young Marble Giants did in the '70s is still new.

		December 5, 2003 8:25 PM To quote their #2 and eponymous fan site, Young Marble Giants' music has been described as "haunting," "enchanting," "dark and strange".
		Cardiffians: the Young Marble Giants Web archive is, of course, the #1 fan site, and not just for the video.
		Another interesting cover of a YMG song is Belle and Sebastian's new version of "Final Day" -- which they turn into something sounding like the Chemical Brothers.

		Stuart Moxham was guitarist and principal songwriter for the Young Marble Giants.
		The thing about the Young Marble Giants is that we wanted to write, to make a body of work that was exceptional, that was really gonna stand out.
		My songwriting before the Young Marble Giants was kind of organic, it's just what I did, whatever came to mind.

	DailyCD - Young Marble Giants
		But Young Marble Giants never lose their cool, and for most of the album we're left marveling at their economy and tasteful restraint.
		Young Marble Giants do away with everything superfluous in rock 'n' roll, distilling the music to its essential ingredients of rhythm and melody.
		Even as they deliberately ignore the rock 'n' roll rule book, Young Marble Giants are no pretentious art-snobs.

	Young Marble Giants - Salad Days (Vinyl Japan ASKCD113) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Playing within a minimalist musical landscape, the YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS used Phil's superb, lyrical bass playing, Stuart's twangy/scratchy guitar and reedy organ, and Alison's sweet, harmonic vocals to achieve critical acclaim for this album 'Colossal Youth', as well as a no. 3 indie chart position with their follow-up EP 'Testcard'.
		At this point, the band decided to go their separate ways, but not before having provided the inspiration for a generation of indie, pop and experimental bands and musicians.
		These tracks in fact predate their first album, and are nothing less than historical documentation of the beginnings of a band that was to have massive impact on many of the bands of the last 2 decades.

		Si rivelo` negli Young Marble Giants, nati come trio di basso, voce e organo Farfisa per iniziativa del chitarrista Stuart Moxham.
		Il gruppo era singolare nel panorama del rinnovamento perche' prediligeva una musica tenera e scarna in sordina, con la vocina di Statton in primo piano a canticchiare filastrocche anemiche su uno sfondo di ritmiche e armoniche naif.
		Gli Young Marble Giants rievocano, forse involontariamente, le atmosfere dei beatnik degli anni '50, raccordandole agli esperimenti di Brian Eno e Robert Fripp.

		It's even harder to imagine a better time than the present to sit back and appreciate the Kinks' sincere nostalgia for a simpler way of life that seemed long gone in 1968 and now seems sadly like ancient history.
		This is a phenomenal reissue, a necessity for Kinks fans young and old.
		Sadly, Young Marble Giants would break up shortly after their return back to UK.

	Jared's Pick - Album Reviews: Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
		Sparse, smart and riveting, the album exudes an eerie midnight languor akin to REM's Murmur, with a clean, dub-like production which sounds like Stereolab's Emperor Tomato Ketchup without the organ drones.
		(Both Michael Stipe and Stereolab have expressed admiration for Young Marble Giants, and the influence is clear.)
		Stuart Moxham's sharp songwriting recalls David Byrne with its cerebral detachment, but the simple direct melodies keep you drawn in.

		Funny you mention it...in fact I have at some time mentioned the YMGs in this forum, when we discussed where Trish's way of singing may have come from.
		I had never heard this cd until about two weeks ago, and it quickly has become one of the best things I've heard.
		alison statton is the singer with YMG - she went onto form "weekend" who were slightly jazzy at times, but still very very good.

		Gitaar, bas, drums-uit-een-doosje, een niet altijd even vaste stem en een wrak orgeltje: ziedaar de ingrediënten waarmee Young Marble Giants de klassieke plaat Colossal Youth maakte.
		Het geluid is open, om niet te zeggen minimalistisch en er klinkt bij tijd en wijle een droefenis en onderkoelde agressie in door die in die jaren werkloos geworden mijnwerkers uit Wales konden navoelen.
		Young Marble Giants hielden het maar kort vol - een jaar of drie - en behalve Colossal Youth, een handvol singletjes en op compilaties verschenen liedjes is hun output zeer beperkt gebleven, maar wel in zijn geheel verzameld op deze reissue.
