Twiggy and the K-Mesons - Technique - CD (2011)

Labels: Daddy Tank Records – UVG212
Review by: Captain Fidanza

Having never been a musician, I’ve always assumed that the one thing which must give actual musicians more sleepless nights than any other is choosing the name of their album. This is the one thing that you need to be absolutely certain of I imagine, there’s no room for doubt or 99% thinking; you need to be completely happy with the album title because if if it’s not right, then the whole thing goes right down the toilet. As proof of this theory, I have compiled a list of famous albums and given them new titles to demonstrate how integral to our appreciation of them, their names are.


Band                     Album                                New Title

The Beatles           Revolver                             New Spoon

Bob Dylan            Blood on the Tracks           Ink Cartridge

David Bowie        Low                                    Cheese and Biscuits

The Eagles            Hotel California                 Windolene

So if, as I have here proved, naming your album is such an important part of being a musician, why would an artist working in electronic music in 2011, possibly name their album “œTechnique ?” It would be like me starting out as a folk musician and calling my first album “œFive Leaves Left.”

This album will be of interest primarily to any listeners who think they might enjoy being in closer proximity to the sounds emanating from Vauxhall Novas driving endlessly through housing estates during the 1990s.
