Free Music Notes for Colossal Youth
Free Music Review: This is excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
A certain claustrophobic vibe is here in this whole album, like there is an enormous amount rage just waiting to explode and yet it never does. After listening to enough loud and angry music to make my head explode, this album is a welcome detour.
The melodies are amazing and the typewriter guitar can be hypnotic in combination with Alison's voice, which is beautiful in it's simplicity and reservedness (If that's a word). I've heard that the best music always draws you into it's world, and this album does that in spades. Colossal Youth is so brilliant that there is no way Young Marble Giants could ever top it, yet the closest is the quick glance at the band with the Peel Session.
Still, whatever you do, do not start listening to the album with EP/Salad Days disc, because though it has the amazing "Final Days" the Salad Days album is mainly inferior versions of what is on Colossal Youth. The intensity is lacking on Salad Days making Salad Days the weakest part of the collection.
All in all, I agree with another reviewer that the best way to experience the band for the first time is with the Peel session, though the main course is Colossal Youth.
Colossal Youth Poster
Young Marble Giants appeared on the British music scene in the early 80s, releasing one perfect album and a handful of tracks. All those songs, as well as album demos, are collected here for the first time. A must-have for fans of The Slits, Pere Ubu, Wire, Suicide, PiL, and the Pop Group. Since 1980, YMG have influenced countless bands as disparate as Belle & Sebastian and Hole (both of whom have covered the group's songs). This deluxe 3xCD package is the definitive collection and includes liner notes from Simon Reynolds, a bonus disc of an unreleased John Peel Session, and a 32-page booklet of unpublished photos, old gig posters, and other publicity memorabilia.Young Marble Giants appeared on the British music scene in the early 80s, releasing one perfect album and a handful of tracks.
