Not surprisingly, given that she hails from N Ireland , she sounds like Sinead O'Connor

Northern Ireland via Yorkshire from age 8.

As for my verdict on the record.

I like it apart from the Soft Moon cover.

it's a shame the versions of He's a quid stick strictly to the original percussion style.

I would have expected one of the artists to tear it up.

My favourite on this Hannah Peels followed by Wrangler then Lone Lady.

Love it. He's a Quid...

Let's hope it is indeed worth a few bob

For those of us who don't miss vinyl, this is out on the digital services now. Just downloaded mine from eMusic.com, so I assume iTunes and the rest have it too.

Why did they bother ? It's awful. The original will be turning in its grave. It's the sonic equivalent of "Jackson Pollock does Caravaggio "
*awaits impending ban from forum*


I don't know if it's just Soundcloud's ghastly 128kbps garglevision but yeah, it sounds like it was taped on a dictaphone at the back of a goth karaoke night.

That's Intentional. I was looking forward to The Soft Moon's version of "No-One Driving" due to the fact that "Evidence," their collaboration with John Foxx + The Maths from the album of the same name, now sits atop my list of Foxx favorites; displacing songs that are nearly 40 years old. There has been some chatter in the forum about the qualities lacking in this version but I think that those naysayers are missing the point. The gridlike precision of the original has been swapped for a thrilling, breakneck velocity. This is a performance that's in the red, and I happen to love how the vocals are buried in the slamming miasma of sound that it created. When it ended after a scant 2:42 I was ready to pay right then and there for a 7:30 12" version.
