Horner has landed on his feet for this edition of CR. No chilling Cedermont Kids for me...every disc a cracker! This bunch of US alternative rockers have been around for three years now. but still nothing out this side of the pond, which is a pity really "cause this is real good music. I caught these guys live al Germany's Christmas Rock Night and they blew the audience away (they even have a song called "Hitler's Girlfriend"...yikes!). Not really a mad. brash rock "n" roll thing, but rather an intelligent form of serious rock and with a smattering of humour. My favourite track is actually an acousticish rock-a-billy hybrid called "Ready For The Rain", but these guys can turn it up when they want, vocals sometimes reminding me of Bono, but thankfully the rest of the band do not sound like Clayton. Mullens and Edge, going for a funky, jangly guitar thing... Other standout tracks include the title track and the excellent "Reservoir Of Souls". The Prophets arc doing their own thing and doing it very well... Call your nearest import specialist and spend a dime or two on this excellent combo.
