Heloise and the Savoir Faire review mentioning Elijah

[frodosweetstuff.livejournal.com]

Behind the cut is a short review for their "Trash, rats and microphones" album from the July 12th issue of the NME.

Includes mention of Elijah and Debbie Harry.





The music should be right up NME's alley but sadly it only got 3 out of 10 points (and some scathing remarks to boot).

The NME is an influential British music weekly.

Thanks, FSS. And I thought it was just me...

You know I just recently got the CD...and I have to say Heloise's real "charm" if one can call it charm, lol; is the electricity of her live performance. Her dancers do little for me occasionally they augment the music but mostly they are a distraction at least for me. Heloise live is charismatic and thoroughly engaging and interactive with the crowd, unfortunately you can't record charisma... and I think that is where TR&M is falling short.

IMHO

Since I was a teenager I've always thought NME are wankers who dislike anything not British so I'm not surprised in way.

IMHO ? Never trust a reviewer that uses the H-word *rolls eyes*

Oh, but I do trust, you know, Elijah with a glitterball - he can provide the music to my own private disco any time ;o)
:oP to NME (and there was a time - late Eighties, early Nineties - when I used to devour that mag weekly, even here in Germany, where it had to be imported) . . .

Love,

- Karin.

Pity! :-(

I'm afraid I'm one of those who isn't keen on H&SF's music but many do like it including Elijah and that's fine.
