Album review:

It was thirty years today, pop pickers: a collection of some of the movers and shakers of that Golden Year of 1978, re-recorded and re-interpreted by some of todays most influential young performers. It is, as you might expect, a masterpiece in its own right. Starting with Billy Ruffians' scarily accurate cover of Public Image's epnymous debut single (and top marks to the Rufflers for gettting Keith Levine's guitar style practically note perfect), the following 17 tracks are a NowThatsWhatICallArtrockInA70sStylee compilation of moments of occasional genius. Hot Beds transform (Siouxsies') Hong Kong Garden into a leisurely electro stroll: Neon Sleeps' similar interpretation of (Elvis Costello's) Pump It Up gives the original a frantic remake: Shock & Awe give (The Only Ones') Another Girl Another Planet an authentic late 70s crank up, away from the louche semi=prog of what was one of last years surprise advert backing tracks: Ginger Tom's retake of Radio Stars') Nervous Wreck has all the goofed claustrophobia of the original and an authentic RnB strut of the Dr Feelgood variety, but the position of top of these particular pop's has to go to The Gaa Gaas' autodestruction of (Plastique Bertrands') Ca Plane Pour Moi, originally a sub-Ramonesy 78 novelty recorded by one of Belguims' best remembered one hit wonders, and now torn apart on the alter of lo-fi electronica with only a harmonica break to remind us of how the original tune must've sounded. Anyone who actually remembers teh late 70s will find all of this at the very least amusing, while anyone aged under 40 will find at least of the tracks here as gritty and occasionally obnoxious as they sounded three decades ago : 'reversing into tomorrow' was one of the more prominent Mclarenesque slogans of the era and every band featured on 'Nineteen78' are doing exactly that.
