In Motion
I recently rediscovered
this album (originally
released in 1989) and
though it's not entirely
good, it contains enough
excellent moment to
interest any Psychobilly
maniac especially those
who are into what is now
called "old-school
Psychobilly" (I
don't like the term but I
believe that everyone
understand what it means).
So what about Es-Feiv?
It's a mix of good ol'
psychobilly, neo
rockabilly and more
average material. The
sound is reminiscent of
that era (light guitar,
upright bass to the fore
and simple but effective
drums). Among the best
tune you'll find "Heartbreakin'
Days" (with a sax),
"Brand New Cadillac"
(inspired by the
ricochets version),
"Real Good Time"
(an excellent neo-rockabilly
tune with a little "rock
this Town" feel in
it), "Cows In Motion"
(an psychobilly version
of a Ennio Morricone tune)
and a couple of others (No
Comin' Back). On the
other side their cover of
The Ramones' Cretin Hop (a
reminiscence of their
Punk days?) is poor, but
it's hard to compete with
the original, and some
other songs are just
fillers, and though the
light production works on
the good stuff, it
reveals the flaws of the
less succesful material.
A mini lp with 8 songs
would have been more
efficient.
