Soulwax - Much Against Everyone's Advice (FMR)
Belgium might not be the most rocking place, but when their
bands get it right, they really get it right. Joing dEUS as
a Belgian band to hit upon greatness is Soulwax, a five-piece
who dabble in emotional and futuristic rock. This was released
in Belgium almost three years ago, but incredibiliy, sound
light years ahead of much 2001 rock. If Soulwax incorporate
strings or programming, it is done with a fluidity few bands
can manage, giving their songs a real humanity, matched nicely
by the lyrics. Best of all, Soulwax imbue their music with
a sense of humour that puts other uptight groups to shame
The verdict: Four out of Five stars
In a word: advisable
Other releases: Leave the Story Untold (1996)
