New 2000 Release from Lo Riders Gomez. A 15 Track Compilation featuring 12 Previously Unavailable Recordings, Including Seven Unreleased Songs, Three Radio Sessions and a Remix
England's critically acclaimed quintet Gomez create music steeped in rock, pop, blues, funk, soul, and just about anything else they can get their crafty hands on. The use of three lead singers never varies the sound by much--they mostly recall Eddie Vedder and Joe Cocker with a pinch of Tom Waits on the rough end. Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline is a compilation of oddball tracks that have been accumulating as import single B-sides and outtakes. "Shitbag 9," the opening track, is a spontaneous studio field holler, whereas "Buena Vista" is an atmospheric nine-minute psychedelic suite. Two BBC live recordings ("78 Stone Shuffle," "Steve McCroski") feature the band in a refreshingly loose groove, stumbling around with a sense of mischief and energy absent from their carefully considered studio productions. Perhaps, most intriguingly, the band's included their version of the Beatles' "Getting Better," (recorded by Gomez at Abbey Road Studios), which became familiar to most of us as part of Phillips Electronics ad campaign. --Rob O'Connor
