The Food Christmas EP 1989

Diesel Park West. Orbital raves don't mean a lot to Diesel Park West. Neither does Acid House. Acid - maybe. Acid House - no. So all you groovy young E-heads can tune out straight away. Right. Now us mature types are well aware that rock is rarely the experimental art form it once was, but has evolved over the past few decades into its present rich state of refinement, of which Diesel Park West are proven masters. Songs, harmonies, interweaving guitars. The whole shebang. Diesel Park West have manufactured their own particular brand of Ecstasy. Info Freako is a Jesus Jones song and is featured on their album Liquidizer (Food LP3). Jesus Jones. It really pisses us off that every time we see the name Jesus Jones it's followed by phrases like "Hype" or "Great White Hopes". As we're the stingiest label in the universe, hype scarcely comes into it - we should be so lucky. Jesus Jones are just bloody great, on stage and on record. They are five people, fronted by sexy devil Mike Edwards. The fact that they incorporate sampling into their material has been flogged to death - that they are also a bad-assed guitar band tends to be overlooked. I Don't Want That Kind Of Love is a Crazyhead song and is featured on their album Desert Orchid (Food LP1) Crazyhead. We dearly love this band. But from time to time and generally after reading too many music papers, weird thoughts start entering our minds. Like "Grebo has come and gone and maybe Crazyhead went with it". Then we see them live and we fall in love all over again. If noisy guitars have a future in the 90's then Crazyhead will be as enormous as their record companies willies. Like Princes Do is a Diesel Park West song and is featured on their album Shakespeare Alabama (Food LP2).
