Magic Marmalade 20th Jul 2016



Magic Marmalade 20th Jul 2016		Review What's that.... Another Polydor?!!!! It's a shocker I know, but these just do not let you down, and always sound amazing. Like many will be, I was familiar with the excellent track: If You're Ready (Come Go With Me), as a nice, gently grooving soul pop tune with a positive feel to it, so I had been intrigued to see what the rest of the album was like. And it doesn't disappoint... achieving a consistent standard of song writing and feel throughout. So if you like that tune, you'll like the whole album. It makes for a nice bit of early evening soul, the aforementioned gentle groove (mildly funky) and undemanding soulfulness that you can pop on the deck and relax to. I found myself Weebling* around the room in a very satisfactory manner, occasionally breaking out into a little micro-dancing^ while I cooked my Noodles. The CD would probably be a nice one to have in the car too, for the school run maybe, so your kids think you're cooler than you are... instead of Dad trying to "educate" them by bludgeoning them with merciless, and unending prog-rock, or mum wailing away to Adele (Did I spell that right?) and pretending that she's twenty years younger than she is... ... At the very least, I won't have to listen to that stuff as I walk past the De-militarised zone / school entrance on my way home as it belts out of every car/burning Vauxhall I pass. All Three of my thumbs up for this one! *Weebling: - The act of Weebling, from: To Weeble (adj.): The gentle wobbling and rocking motion of a Weeble (Weebles wobble but they don't fall down) as applied as an ongoing activity for pleasure... usually to music or unaccompanied psychological disturbance. ^Micro-Dancing: - A style of dance developed by a 45 worlds contributor for use on trains, and or buses, or other occasions when normal dancing is not appropriate using larger gestures, or when discretion is required. A system of small jerks and twitches alluding to more expansive dance manoeuvres. Can also be used as an economy dance, permitting more people to fit on a dance floor in closer proximity, and requiring less energy. (See also: "Twitching"; Further reading: "The lazy person's guide to dancing", and "Why people are generally unappreciative of a fellow passenger doing "The Worm" down the isle of a train at rush hour - a memoir in four volumes") ((From the unnecessarily expanded: Magic Marmalade Dictionary of uncommon usage)) 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
