closing the deal

this month's rough trade cd JULY

Total Control- Typical System

This month's cd starts well. Lots of 80s touches and synthiness. Unfortunately this only lasts one track before it changes tack into droney intoning and rough sounding moaning for several tunes before picking up with a good instrumental near the end. Something Horrors-ish about it together with all of the 80s inspirations listed on the accompanying blurb. Haven't heard the bonus cd yet. I damn near didn't get this post up before the end of July.

Score- 6/10. (8 for the bits I liked).

cheers, you're not so bad yourself. 10 points if you can name the band..
