Hit: 5 Stars

My my Tjinder & the lads of Cornershop have outdone themselves with "Handcream for a Generation". You have to love the titles of Cornershop's records.

With "When I Was Born for the 7th Time" we fans were treated & by that I mean really treated to something very refreshing music has to offer.

There were lovely songs such as: "Sleep On The Left Side", "Brimful Of Asha", "We're In Yr Corner", "Good S.", "It's Good To Be On The Road Back Home Again" & many more. Tjinder has a really beautiful voice & really composes his music in a way that complements his voice. This is further proven & demonstrated none other than by the man himself & his crew (Ben Ayres, Anthony Saffery, Nick Simms & Peter Bengry) in the epic new release of "Handcream For A Generation".

I'm glad & proud to say that you can buy this bands record/s without listening to it at the record store as you won't be disappointed long after the purchase & long after the disc has stopped playing as the tunes are stuck inside your head ready for repeated listens.

What the new album has in store:
Lovely intro "Heavy Soup" to kick of the funkiness before we are treated to what is my favorite track on the cd "Staging The Plaguing Of The Raised Platform" (Once again, just all around brilliance here, the guitar is ever so rock n' roll & Tjinder gets kids to sing the chorus which is fantastically done & another thing what an interesting & very catchy name for a song). Then rolls on track 3 which always makes me feel as if I'm in a club. Track 4 the 1st single of the album, while it's not bad I would have gone with "Staging The Plaguing Of The Raised Platform" for the 1st single, then we get more funky tunes such as "WWW", a slice of reggae on "Motion The 11" & a very groovy version of "People Power." After all this we get treated to music that could be classified as world before more funkiness & alas "Spectral Mornings" (got to love the Punjabi folk he implements). Then comes "Slip The Drummer One" which makes one feel they could dance 24/7 & then the outro of "Heavy Soup" to keep the good happy tune vibrations alive as is present all the way through the cd.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the follow up to "Handcream".

In the next record I would like to hear Tjinder singing more but none the less a top notch effort in all the fun, catchy & quirkiness' is provided for in "Handcream For A Generation" - Get your copy today! ??

Handcream for a Generation Poster

UK reissue of this 2002 album from the Indie Rock band led by Tjinder Singh. This fourth album is a sure-footed survey of international party styles. Through 13 tracks, they manage to locate the secret connections between Funk, Hip Hop turntablism, Boogie Rock, Roots Reggae, French House, Punjabi Folk, heavy Psychedelia, and, yes, good old-fashioned Indie-Pop. On paper, it looks dauntingly ambitious, and in the hands of any other band it probably would be. But Singh has a talent for finding universal accessibility at the heart of any genre as well as a pathological fear of the clich?d and portentous.
For the pessimists who thought 1998's "Brimful of Asha" might have made Cornershop one-hit wonders, Handcream for a Generation acts as a dazzling Technicolor rejoinder. This fourth album by Tjinder Singh's group is a sure-footed survey of international party styles. Through 13 tracks, they manage to locate the secret connections between funk, hip-hop turntablism, boogie rock, roots reggae, French house, Punjabi folk, heavy psychedelia, and, yes, good old-fashioned indie-pop. On paper it looks dauntingly ambitious, and in the hands of any other band it probably would be. But Singh has a talent for finding universal accessibility at the heart of any genre as well as a pathological fear of the clichéd and portentous. So Handcream begins with deep soul singer Otis Clay making the introductions on "Heavy Soup," cranks up a hoary old Stones riff for an extended rant about the music biz on "Lessons Learned from Rocky I to Rocky III," and even finds a use for Noel Gallagher on the 15-minute soaring raga of "Spectral Mornings." Best of all, the whole album's imbued with a spirit that's both celebratory and contrary, one that challenges and stimulates even while it's making you dance on the table. --John Mulvey
