OCEAN COLOUR SCENE "ONE FROM THE MODERN"
ILPSD 8090 - Island Records 1999
Rare original UK double LP
Want to relive the past? For heaven's sake, learn restraint. Don't mar your production with fancy digital frills. Be like Ocean Colour Scene. OCS know when to pitch a note, and when to stand back. They might've been unfairly tarnished with the "Dad Rock" badge because of their association with mentor Paul Weller (Weller sings back-up on one song here, the blissfully low-key "No One at All"), but they have the authentic, rootsy feel of the 60s white-boy beat groups down pat. On songs like the anti-war, defiant "Profit in Peace" and solipsistic "Emily Chambers", OCS prove that the lessons they've learnt at the hands of The Small Faces, The Spencer Davis Group and The Yardbirds, they've learnt well. One From the Modern is a mini-masterpiece of restraint and passion, albeit passion displayed through a rosy-tinted, time-distorted lens. Half the songs here could be mistaken for Pebbles-era garage classics. And that's some compliment. --Everett True
This copy graded as EX/NM - The vinyl has never been played, and the package was only opened to include ainto static inner sleeves to keep the LPs in superb condition. The cover has also been protected by a resealable polythene sleeve. A very minor dent on the open corner (has been there from new) prevents an NM listing.
