An overlooked classic.......2005-03-22

With British guitar music at its most successful (sales-wise) in many years the emphasis has unfortunately been on second rate pop punk bands (see the libertines, razorlight etc), left-field rock (block party, kasabian) and emotional rock (snow patrol, keane). How a band as sumptous, eclectic and inventive as fort lauderdale could be overlooked is a mystery.
From the opening, kooky, red-herring 'insane overdrive' through to elegaic, eno-esque closer 'pretty monster' this album showed more invention, poise and beauty than the rest of the brit-pack's records will ever show.
the playing is tight and funky (see sexy creature a 2 minute instumental that fuses the 13th floor elevators with grand funk railroad and it works!), the lyrics at turns witty (rock and roll), surreal (chilling place) and romantic (silent ways) whilst the range of styles is breathtaking.
Since this record was released the steve webster and toby jenkins have gone their seperate ways (webster is now 'the black neon, whilst jenkins is 'the squire of somerton') but, phew! what a way to go.....

Great group,wish they would come back together for a reunion.

Very good obscure hard rocker that'll grow on you!!.......2003-10-20

I had never heard this band's album from 1979, but purchased it when it came out on the excellent Monster Records label this past year. It definitely has a Thin Lizzy/Judas Priest style and some well written songs. Highlights are the mystic "Deceive Me" and the hard rocking "Kristallnacht" with cool tempo changes. The guitar playing is excellent throughout. Overall, a very good
CD, not quite a 5 star but another worthwhile purchase
