Albums of week ft Journey To The West

MONKEY - Journey To The West

**** 1/2


IT began in the mists of remix of
Voodoo People is worth the cover price on its possess. JS

JACKIE LEVEN - Lovers At The Gun Club

****


AS he approaches 60, Scotland�s great storyteller in song and one-time leader
of Doll By Doll shows no sign of slowing down.


Recently, Jackie�s albums have come thicker and faster � he even made this one
before telling his record label � but there�s always something truly
memorable about each one.


For a start, the dark and dangerous title track is sung by Jackie�s
?absinthe-drinking friend?, the late-blooming American singer Johnny Dowd.


And who would dream up a track about an imaginary songwriting collaboration
with the late great thespian Laurence Olivier? Priceless. SC

EUREKA MACHINES - Do Or Die

****


EUREKA MACHINES make their festival debut at Reading and Leeds next weekend
and, judging by this dazzling debut, it�s going to be well worth catching
their slot on the BBC Introducing stage.


Led by Chris Catalyst (Sisters Of Mercy, AntiProduct, The Dead Pets) this
four-piece peddle some mighty big tunes which often lead the listener down
unexpected paths.


And it�s all lovingly smothered with gorgeous multi-layered harmonies,
bringing to mind Silver Sun, The Beach Boys or even Queen.


Do Or Die is hard-rocking while often hitting the heights of power pop
perfection. A hugely impressive first album. MS

Games youth play


Melodic Montreal rockers The Mission District take making music seriously.

And though the support of family, friends and media �including Perez Hilton, who has written extensively about the six-piece outfit  � is important, band members say what really matters is connecting with fans.

�The main thing about our record is that our fans absolutely love it, and (that�s) helped us make new ones as well,� vocalist Dave Rancourt tells Metro. �It�s the only feedback that really counts.�

Debut album, Youth Games, which hit stores in March, is influenced by a variety of �80s British pop acts such as The Cure, Tears For Fears and Talk Talk as well as American pop groups Weezer, Jimmy Eat World and The Get Up Kids

The record is  full of catchy beats and melodies and sing-a-long lyrics.

�Our sound is extremely energetic pop ... with hit you over the head choruses that will stay in your head for days and make you want to dance around your apartment (or) house, � says Rancourt. The lyrics are based on personal experience as well as fictional stories, but are rooted in a coming of age theme.

The band members are quick to say they have little interest in becoming a part of Canada�s established indie rock scene.

�We don�t care about the indie crowd,� says Rancourt. �And we actually know how to write hooks.�

The band are working on a few projects at the moment, including a tour and working on a video for Youth Games that should be ready by late June.

For more information visit the band�s website at myspace.com/themissiondistrict

Lionel promises reunion tour

LIONEL RICHIE is to reunite with band The Commodores for a tour, he revealed.

The soul singer, 58, said he wanted to get back together within two years.

He said: “We better do it now, or in the next ten years nobody would
care.”

Bass player RONALD LA PREAD joined Lionel on stage on his last tour to
perform band hits such as Three Times A Lady.

Grammy winner Richie, who is in Antigua for a music festival, broke away to
launch a solo career in the 1970s.
