Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…
8 March 2018
BAND: BUZZCOCKS
ALBUM: ANOTHER MUSIC IN A DIFFERENT KITCHEN
RELEASED: 10 March 1978 – 40 years ago
BBC MUSIC wrote: “Everything about it, from its silver, orange-lettered sleeve to Martin Rushent’s aluminum-sheen production, is right. The songs are all brilliant pop tunes in the classic style, but with lyrics whose doomed romanticism would put John Lennon to shame,
and the kind of riffs that only a Stooges and T.Rex fan could write. From ‘I Don’t Mind’s woozy declaration that ‘reality’s a dream’ to ‘Sixteen’s stentorian ‘And I hate modern music! Disco! Boogie! Pop!’. ‘Another Music…’ was as melodic as pop has ever been and as honest and real
as any plaid-faced grunge act.”
TURN UP THE VOLUME says: pop punk at its very best. Repetitive firework riffs, speedy licks, nasty hooks, desperate love songs and an overall machine-gun energy…
THREE HIGHLIGHTS: Fiction Romance / Autonomy / I Don’t Mind…
* FICTION ROMANCE – massive guitars, massive tune…
* I DON’T MIND – the swirling hit single…
* AUTONOMY – towering track, flashy live rendition…
