The L.E.D.S We are the L.E.D.S [seaside] [four stars]

The package containing this and a polite ‘please review’ letter from Canterbury group The L.E.D.S [Blair Parkes, Marcus Thomas and Helen Greenfield] reached me a month after they posted it - from Christchurch. That is 28 days during which I was deprived of hearing the lastest Thomas - Parkes incarnation perform the mesmerising David Lynch-type sounds on We Are The L.E.D.S. Futuristic distorted bass dominates here. It’s like standing far too close to an electro-fuelled space shuttle blasting off for galaxies unknown and will have you walking in light for days. I’ve been solidly thrashing this and it is a space odyssey I highly recommend. Solid sounds shine on Cars, 38, Rumba , July, Breathing Air and Blue Light. Also check out the classy old-skool video for Rumba on YouTube.
