Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
People rarely make albums like this any more, and certainly not in England. Albums that are unafraid to stand tall and fail laughing, that sound like they've been recorded direct onto scratched vinyl. Albums which are full of heartfelt diatribes and soulful Hammond organ breaks, infused with a deep love for London. Albums that redefine the meaning of the description "garage". Songs like the anarchic "Radar" and self-evident "Record Collection" brim over with ideas and passion. In places, Tigertown Pictures, the new album from Comet Gain Mark II (most of the former incarnation split to form the more ordinary Velocette) recalls St Etienne's more winsome moments, the insurrectionary fervour of Dexy's Midnight Runners and Ian Svenonious' Make Up. Other times, it's like the spirit of early Creation Records (Jasmine Minks, Biff Bang Pow!) reborn, even more abrasive and angry with the modern world. Tigertown Pictures is an inspirational offering. --Everett True
