Subject: RE: Review Imagined Village CD
Absolutely brilliant; as refreshing and original as the first time I heard Bellowhead. There are some inspired combinations here, most especially on Cold Haily Rainy Night, which brought me out in goosebumps. The only thing I didn't like was the first track, 'Ouse 'Ouse 'Ouse, which I at first found cringingly embarrassing and then hilariously funny as Bob Copper sounded more and more like a cross between Mike Tucker from The Archers and Peter Cook's E L Wistey. All-in-all, though, groundbreaking stuff that I expect will continue be contentious for quite some time - and nothing wrong with that!
