Glowpeople - Things... - CD (2012)

Labels: Specky Records
Review by: Captain Fidanza

This is nearly excellent “” a frustrating thing to have to say about anything.

Musically it sounds not unlike sections of the sublime “œNew Forms” album by Reprazent which so many people made such a fuss about after it won some prize in the 1990s. There are also parts of it which recall the peerless “œSpectrum” album from Quannum.

However, the real problem here is it just sounds like something which has been done before and never as though it is striving hard enough to create its own sound.

It’s great, but it’s somebody else’s glory.
