Free Music Notes for Luminous Groove

Free Music Review: Luminous Groove - 5cd - Robyn & the Egyptians box
Hit: 5 Stars

First off, the bonus tracks are great. Always nice to hear the Egyptians backing up Robyn. Bad Case of History, Upside down church, Surfer Ghost.. great stuff. I can understand why Robyn still sings with his old friends (saw Robyn sing with Morris recently at Hobokens - HAVE to have back up vocals for Flesh Number 1!)

The packagings first rate. Element of Light has lyrics, all the albums are gatefold, with nice pictures, recording info. For the live disc (disc 2 of A bad case of history, the dates/venues are given (Ritz 1989, and so forth)

I think this is a good place to start with Robyn. Maybe if you give this to someone, along with a copy of I Often Dream of Trains, I can't imagine that they WON'T like the songs..

And, again, hes never had such a great band. Of course they were getting too old to do it forever, but it would be nice if they were to tour this album.

Interesting bits: Robyn doing a demo of Bass playing all the instruments himself, a live Railway Shoes in the 90s, a live Unsettled (!) as a bonus track on the You gotta let this hen out!

Will the Robyn fan need it. Yeah, probably. From what I understand, the sounds been remastered, and thats as good an excuse as any to listen to Airscape. Its a nice package. The bonus tracks are good (always good to hear new Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians).

If you have the albums (Element of Light, fegmania! Gotta Let this hen out) maybe trade them in, buy this just to have them in one collection. I'm not sure that theres much that was left off to make up for the bonus tracks. A very listenable set. Okay, the loss of the Can Opener off the Rhino issue of Element is tragic, but I think this is a very good set

Its more Robyn. What more can you ask for?

[BTW Robyn is touring the I Often Dream of Trains later this year. (Yes hes playing the album in its entirety live!) Get your tickets now!]

Luminous Groove Poster

The second in a series of Robyn Hitchcock retrospective box sets from Yep Roc, the five-disc ''Luminous Groove'' box set shines a light on Robyn's rock & roll renaissance with the Egyptians. In 1985 Robyn's newest group, with ex-Soft Boys Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor plus keyboardist Roger Jackson, marked the next stage in the career of one of popular music's most unique creators. ''Fegmania!'' is a return to band format, showcasing the new outfit through sonic tapestries around Hitchcock's signature skittered melodies and private lyrics. On ''Element of Light,'' The Egyptians glide between regal pop and driving psychedelia, resulting in one of the most deliberate and nuanced rock records of the decade. ''Gotta Let This Hen Out!'' captures a blazing live set by the Egyptians from London's Marquee club in early 1985. The band blasts through new and old Hitchcock classics, effortlessly blending the show into what amounts to a live best-of collection and reminding fans that Robyn's legend is built as much on loud guitars as it is on eerie metaphors and jagged melodies. All three albums contain new bonus tracks exclusive to ''Luminous Groove.'' In addition to these three seminal albums, the set also includes two exclusive bonus discs entitled ''Bad Case of History'' which features previously unreleased studio recordings, including the final 1994 sessions, and a CD of unheard live material. Just as with Yep Roc's first box set collection ''I Wanna Go Backwards,'' the curation of ''Fegmania!,'' ''Element of Light,'' and ''Gotta Let This Hen Out!'' into one box set encapsulates a critical portion of the creative life of Britain's Mad Hatter of pop and further illuminates Hitchcock's gloriously mysterious ''Luminous Groove.'' ''Luminous Groove'' is also available as an eight-LP vinyl set.
