Plan B
The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, the second LP from Forest Gate-bred singer/musician Ben Drew, will be a surprise for anyone who spent meaningful time with his 2006 debut Who Needs Actions When You’ve Got Words. That album cast him as a potty-mouthed rapper, threatening to stab you with a biro over choppy acoustic guitar. Now, following a quick makeover, he re-emerges as blue-eyed soul singer, fronting a suite of bittersweet love songs steeped in vintage Stax and Motown. What might seem a rushed rebranding makes more sense if you know a little about Drew's creative drive, though; obsessed with cinema and narrative, Plan B is a storyteller at heart, and ...
Fab CD, 2010-08-31
Cannot remember when I last enjoyed a CD as much as this one. The whole idea of the story, lyrics, music etc. is gripping and I think Ben Drew a huge talent

Love it, 2010-08-31
I love this, it has all the songs I have bought over the years, but all in one place. It brought back lots of great memories. Highly recommended.

The XX
Amazing! Gets more addictive the more you listen to it, 2010-08-18
I had heard so much about the XX but not yet given the music a listen, being a pessimist I tend to expect that the rave reviews are from the too cool for school kids and being 30 now tends to mean I don't get it all any more :D... then I heard Crystalised on the radio and got hooked!! Took the plunge and bought the album from amazon as it was about [...] when i got it so no risk there! Took about 3 or so listens which is about what a great album should take, 1 then its too easy (mainstream pop) and you'll get bored easily, it will be on the pile in no time. This is one you need to hear late at night on a drive, collapsed out on your bed in the dark in some good headphones so you get every whispered lyric, hear every bass note that throbs, every tingling guitar note. Seriously from start to finish its amazing and I don't think I have heard a more perfect album in maybe 5 years. Can't recommend it enough, actually don't want to go into more detail than that. Music is about discovering an album in different scenarios. Sometimes you can hear an album one day when you are in the wrong mood and you put it aside and 4 months or a year later you find it again and put it on and its the most perfect album you've ever heard. Don't wait that long, stick it on, but make sure you hear it in it's entirety and then again and again..
References are obvious with new order, the cure and some eighties electronic bands that you never thought you would hear sound so fresh today. Which I always loved, but don't be put off if you don't like those, if you liked crystalised by the XX you will love the rest of the album. P.S try XX's mix of you've got the love (florence version) it's amazing, stripped back and gorgeous! But i can't find it on amazon sadly. Thank you XX :)

Richard Thompson
Another stunning RT album - can this man do no wrong?, 2010-09-01
Richard Thompson just seems to go from strength to strength. Dream Attic was recorded in front of an audience and sonically it one of the best recorded albums I have ever heard. It seems to capture the intimacy of his writing and also the power of his live performances perfectly.
There's a good mix of styles and material and I'm sure there'll be many live favourites from this album.
Highlights for me so far are:
'Crimescene' is a disturbing, but somehow touching, song.
'Sidney Wells' is dark but crafty and amusing - maybe the next 'Vincent Black Lightning'?
'If Love Whispers Your Name' is an absolutle stunning finale. Beautiful lyrics and a classic RT guitar solo.
The guitar vocal demos (CD2) give alternative perspectives on each of the songs and stand up to repeated listening on their own.
I can't wait to see RT on tour in Jan 2011 in the UK.

Materpiece beyond the hype, 2010-08-29
First time I listened this album I thought 'Funeral' was better. Now I am not quite sure. 'The suburbs' is an anthem, a whole soundtrack for a generation.
