On Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty, there are hints of Felt's later English pop grandeur -- on the instrumental opener "Evergreen Dazed," for example, which (sans rhythm section) pits guitarist Maurice Deebank's cascading, euphoric noodlings against Lawrence Hayward's clear acoustic strums -- but overall, this is a fairly primitive affair. There is a stripped-down psychedelic feel to certain tracks, with drums pounding out a tribalistic, rolling beat beneath Deebank's complex guitar runs and Hayward's obtuse vocals. Later in their career, particularly on 1985's The Strange Idols Pattern and Other Short Stories, Felt would finally curb all that minimalist atmosphere into three-minute pop gems (while maintaining their skewed, unconventional palette); here, however, the pieces are in place but the overall vision is still rudimentary. On The Splendour of Fear, Felt still hasn't figured out how to tame all that glorious atmosphere into a distinct vision. The classically trained Deebank can unravel glistening guitar scales like nobody's business -- and Lawrence's obtuse vocal delivery certainly possesses an uncanny charm -- but this release can be monotonous at times, lapsing too often into meandering guitarscapes. The tone of the album is set on the first track, which opens with an extended dirge-like instrumental that finally gives way to Lawrence's vocals. The eight-minute-plus track "The Stagnant Pool" is a highlight here, simply because it seems purposeful -- with Lawrence's ominous vocals giving way to an emotional, melodic guitar jam that anticipates the later work of the Smiths' Johnny Marr. ~ Erik Hage
This collection contains the first two Felt albums, CRUMBLING THE ANTISEPTIC BEAUTY and THE SPLENDOUR OF FEAR--in actuality, two six-track mini albums. Both are built around the gorgeous guitar work of Maurice Deebank and Lawrence Hayward (who only goes by his first name). Most of these tracks feature long instrumental passages, the guitars augmented by spare drumming, with occasional vocals from Lawrence, who talks/sings, in the manner of Lou Reed.
CRUMBLING's highlights include "Evergreen Dazed," a beautiful instrumental, the stately "Birdman," highlighting Lawrence's singular vocal style (detached, tired, and bored, a combination more engaging in practice than you'd imagine), and "I Worship the Sun," which emphasizes Deebank's complex and sinuous guitar lines. As good as CRUMBLING is, SPLENDOUR is better if only because of the improved production. Standouts include the slow-burning instrumental "The Optimist and the Poet," and "Mexican Bandits," a gorgeous track built on stunning guitar interplay and rolling drums. This, as with most of Felt's records, is an essential purchase for fans of truly alternative music.

Two classic EPs from the indie pop act featuring singer/songwriter Lawrence Hayward (Denim/Go-Kart Mozart), 'Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty' (1981) and 'The Splendour of Fear' (1984), together on one CD. Standard jewelcase.

Audio Mixer: David Gervai.
Recording information: Tribeca Recording.
A very literal singalong album, Kidz Bop collects 18 remakes of contemporary hits that also feature a chorus of kids singing along with the hooks. Depending on the song, the effect is either fun or creepy; generally, punk-pop songs like the covers of blink-182's "All the Small Things," Sugar Ray's "Fly," and Smash Mouth's invincible "All Star" fare the best as singalong material for kids, as do nonsensical hits like LFO's "Summer Girls" and Barenaked Ladies' "One Week." However, it's more than a little unsettling to hear children singing along to the chorus of Britney Spears' "Oops! ... I Did It Again" ("I'm not that innocent") and it's just downright annoying on "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and "That Don't ...

Horsfall Feel The Heat CD  (2009)

Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty/Splendor Of Fear
CD $14.79
Reviews & Info Trevor Horsfall….expatriate British bluesman now calling Canada home is the author of a fresh, diverse and highly charged Southern Rock Blues CD..."Feel the Heat". An anecdotal collection of songs based on his experiences while touring the southland, the style ranges from country blues with an edge through to power packed, raunchy blues rock. Comparisons are made to artists JJ Cale, Johnny Winter through to Jimi Hendrix. "Feel The Heat" has been released to great fan fare and reviews in both North America and Europe. Horsfall draws his influences from Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Mark Knoppler, Dave Gilmore, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winters, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many others. Raised in Blackpool, England, a performing hub for bands such as The Beatles and Stones, the guitar seemed like a natural part of life to Trevor. Being a veteran of the early British Rock & Blues revolution, Horsfall, or "Trevor Luv" as he is affectionately known in the southern states, has spent years honing his craft while touring North America and particularly the Deep South. Enjoying air time in Europe, Australia and the United States, "Feel the Heat" is a must listen for any Blues Rock/Southern Rock enthusiast._________________________________________________________Horsfall's Feel the Heat is a blues infused fret driven collection of songs that over the course of 40 minutes and change covers quite a bit of musical territory. I should start off by stating right up front this disc took me a few spins to appreciate Trevor has one of those voices that took me a few listens to peg. He reminds me a little bit of John Hiatt mixed with bits of Chris Rea . What Trevor Horsfall really brings to the table is his playing: He is a very solid player and when he cuts loose he really is a hell of a picker and Trevor is smart enough as a singer to stay in his comfort zone as a vocalist. There are a few killer tracks on Feel the Heat, ...
