Captain Sensible albums

 

BACK
A&Mからリリースされたソロアルバム2枚はTony Mansfieldのプロデュースでこれが本当にパンクロッカー?と思うような洗練ぶり。     
Robyn Hitchcockによると"Revolution Now" "Meathead" にハーモニカでゲスト参加している Howlin' Wilf はAndy Partridgeの変名らしい。     
The Damnedとしての活動がメインの現在、新作発表を期待するのは難しいか。
……と思ったら突然A&M時代の音源がベストアルバムでCD化!

Hello everyone,
Life's great isn't it!!! And this, the latest line-up of my band "Punk Floyd" is without doubt the greatest yet... by far. And wot fun we've had in the studio with our producer Nick (whom we sought out because his dad produced 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' for the other Floyd) and also down the pub afterwards with lots of lovely beer of course. I think I've just about got the balance right between noisy guitar pop and soapbox lyrics, I do so hope you approve. We are available now for demented live performances - so come up and see us sometime. Cheerio for now, Your Pal Captain xxx
  1. While Wrecking The Car
  2. Bob's Brown Nose

キャプテンからのメッセージ
Well, by now it should be clear to all that "Happy Talk" was an Abberation, a moment of craziness even in my strange and varied musical career. I'm a lot happier now that things have stabilised and I can return to doing whatever I want musically without worrying about "airplay potential" or any of that old junk. The tracks on this compilation were selected by my good self from the four albums I have recorded since superstardom told me to "bog off", and I hope they give some sort of idea of where I'm coming from musically. I also hope you will take advantage of our generous voucher offer thingy and purchese one of the fabulous Cds from which these great songs originated (I could certainly do with the dosh!) . Righty ho? I'd better be off now, the pubs are open... (self palody, blah blah). good luck ta Ya, your pal Captain, XXX
P.S. Come to our gigs - we're brilliant.
  1. (10/10) Holiday In My Heart
    this song simply has it all...
  2. (10/10) The Toys Take Over
    great song too, check out the 12" extended version (if you can't get a copy, send over a blank cassette and I'll copy it for you!)
  3. (10/10) Exploding Heads & Teapots (Past Their Prime)
    this one - imagine a cheap drum-machine were used - could originate from a CLEANERS FROM VENUS cassette ("golden autumn" period) - it's one of my faves on this compilation...
  4. ( 7/10) Love Policeman
    don't ask me why...
  5. (-----) Pasties
    not to be compared with the rest - a non-song about B.S.E. ??!
  6. ( 7/10) A Riot On Eastbourne Pier
    too "soft" for a DAMNED hymn - too "damned" for a CAPTAIN solo track
  7. (10/10) Home
    why this song hasn't become a massive hit is a mystery to me...
  8. ( 6/10) Miss Van Houten's Coffee Shoppe (Martin Newellの曲、彼のソロアルバム "The Off White Album" 収録) 未発表曲
    the song itself is 1st class - BEACH BOYS during their most underated period ("sunflower", "holland") - but here the CAPTAIN should have used an arrangement of his own...
  9. (10/10) Life Up In The Stars
    see track 7!!!
  10. (song7) Aliens Of The Load
    lyrics 10 (although I was brought up under the Roman cathoric banner!!)
  11. ( 9/10) Sally Blue Shoes
    great rhythm, one of the fastest lovesongs I know...
  12. ( 8/10) The Kamikaze Millionaire
    another great "electropopper", almost of the "Home"-class
  13. ( 8/10) Glad It's All Over
    politically correct, but I rarely like political themes to be used in "rock hymns"...
  14. ( 8/10) Plastic Arcade
    again "Planet Newell" eh..? catchy hook, spacy arrangements and everyone's invited to Electric Ladyland towards the end of the song...
  15. ( 8/10) Sporting Life
    first of three real rare bonus track
  16. ( 9/10) V.O.A.
    another track not to be compared with rest-an electro-body-techno byte-fantastic!
  17. ( 8/10) Smash It Up (pt.4)
    the CAPTAIN learned his HANK MARVIN lesson well (not mentioned in his school report, see below)
    (下にCaptain - Raymond Burns - の学校時代の成績表が載っている)
