This Limited Edition of THE INVISIBLE BAND contains the hidden tracks "Ring Out The Bell" and "You Don't Know What I'm Like" following "The Humpty Dumpty Love Song."

Travis's second album THE MAN WHO made them one of the biggest bands in the UK. With all eyes upon the group for a follow-up, the foursome opts not for the deconstructed expectation-confounded tactics of Radiohead's KID A, but instead continues on the same path they'd already been heading down. THE INVISIBLE BAND is considerably softer than the band's previous albums, pursuing the ballad as transcendent mode of expression, but the popcraft is just as winningly melodic, the guitars just as jangly and inviting, and Fran Healy's songs as subtly accessible as ever.

There are a few unusual touches (the banjo on "Sing," the electronic squiggles ending "Afterglow"), but for the most part, THE INVISIBLE BAND is full of simple, infectious melodies, intelligently expressed emotions, and a warmth that finds Travis aligned with the likes of Coldplay in open-hearted opposition to the Oasis/Blur "it's all about me" school of Britpop. Closing with one of the album's most powerful songs, the affecting, broken-hearted ballad "The Humpty Dumpty Love Song," THE INVISIBLE BAND is an admirable display of Travis's continued strength and staying power.

Recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, California and Air Studios, London, England.

Travis: Francis Healy, Douglas Payne, Andy Dunlop, Neil Primrose.

Additional personnel: Millennia Strings (strings); Jason Falkner (keyboards).

Rolling Stone (6/21/01, pp.75-6) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...[The album] succeeds by approximating...Simon and Garfunkel fronting U2....Healy's unrelentling earnestness gets raised to new heights by his newfound confidence....sympathetically disarming."

Spin (8/01, pp.138-9) - 6 out of 10 - "...An LA album in all senses of the term - pretty, temperate, and incredibly surface....These are lovely songs that mean little, signify less, and, sometimes, are all the better for it."
Q (7/01, p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A great record...It saddens, it soothes, it cheers...music for real people....equal to, if not better than, that second record [THE MAN WHO]..." Mojo (7/01, p.94) - "...A strong record..."
Uncut (8/01, p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It hits the spot at the two extremes of the Travis experience - the quietly introspective and the mass singalong....Here are songs of loss, betrayal, uncertainty and insecurity..."

CMJ (6/11/01, p.4) - "...Mixing both melancholy and optimism in gorgeous little pop songs....Travis doesn;t exactly rock the house, but INVISIBLE BAND will no doubt rock the world of those who love warm and tender pop with substance..."
Mojo (Publisher) (1/02, p.71) - Ranked #33 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
NME (Magazine) (12/29/01, p.59) - Ranked #23 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
NME (Magazine) (6/9/01, p.38) - 8 out of 10 - "...Plenty of Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, latter-day Beatles and even...Roy Harper. Timeless, simply expressed, inescapably real feelings..."

Flaco Jimenez Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio Y Mas! CD  (1986)

Invisible Band
CD $14.49  Audio Samples
Lyrics translated from the Spanish by Guillermo Hernandaz, Yolanda Zepeda and Jaime Nicolopulos. Following on from his father Santiago Jimenez' own successful run as a conjunto musician in San Antonio, Flaco Jimenez put together a conjunto of his own in the '50s, eventually becoming one of the most famous figures in Tex-Mex music (also known as Musica Nortena in Mexico). Based on the polkas and waltzes Mexican performers refashioned as rancheras, the Tex-Mex conjunto style features accordion, the 12-string bajo sexto guitar, bass, and drums. Flaco immediately staked his claim in the music with a distinctly imaginative and lively accordion style, finding the ideal backing from equally able Tejano musicians, including his father and his son David. For this excellent 1985 recording, Flaco teams up with noted bandleader and bajo player Toby Torres, bassist Henry "Big ...

Phil Alvin County Fair 2000 CD  (1994)

Invisible Band
CD $10.69  Audio Samples
Brothers Phil and Dave Alvin were the heart of California roots-rockers the Blasters. After songwriter/guitarist Dave's departure for a solo career, Phil kept the group alive, but mostly on a local performance level, not as a recording unit. He released his first solo album in 1986, but it took him eight years to make another. Like its predecessor, COUNTY FAIR finds Phil Alvin backed by a shifting cast of characters, exploring an eclectic batch of American roots styles, from blues to country to R&B and rockabilly. On ...

Ramones All The Stuff (And More), Vol. 1 CD  (1990)

Invisible Band
CD $14.45  Audio Samples
Exploding into the stale vacuum of music in 1976 were four lads from the working-class burg known as Queens, New York: The Ramones! Projecting non-image as image, the Ramones invented worlds with every new song, populating their fantasies with characters like Sheena The Punk Rocker and Suzy The Headbanger. They were successful simply because they knew how to write great rock & roll--all energy, swagger and bravado; no solos, no chops, and no classical themes sprucing up concept albums. Though Joey Ramone's lyrical concerns often focus on horror movies, there's a song for every occasion, whether you want to sniff some glue, score some horse on "53rd & 3rd," or make out with a "Babysitter." The story goes that The Ramones were originally going to play covers, but discovered it was easier to just write their own songs. In truth, they wrote maybe one or two tunes, then re-wrote them and re-wrote them, creating albums of minimalist anthems and universes out of the same few chords and themes. Keep listening, and soon enough you too will ...

Cry Baby CD  (1990) Original Soundtrack

Invisible Band
CD $6.49  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
John Waters' Cry-Baby goes hand in hand with Hairspray, and is a musical film that will probably appeal more to Waters' fans than fans of musical cinema. There is nothing original or exciting about the music on the soundtrack, as energetic as it is, and its bizarre nature is probably due to the scenes from the film rather than its own oddities. Waters describes it as "music that proved kids knew how to be bad before sex, drugs, and rock & roll," yet there seems to be little separation between those attributes and the concoction of lust and loudness here. Songs like "Doin' Time for Bein' Young" and "High School Hellcats" are no different from rock & roll, except that they sound like weak imitations of songs from Grease. Waters, the master of imitation and suburban insult, may very well have planned it that way. What might have changed everything would be to have Johnny Depp, ...
