5.0 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful, April 8, 2002

Lefteris Lalos "LL" (Athens, Attica, Hellas) - See all my reviews

Hipsway may not be the Beatles: not even close.They may not
even have a decent follow-up LP.They may not be the best
Scottish musicians ever. But as BOURGEOIS TAGG put it:
I Don't Mind At All. This album is what British Pop is
all about: Simple & beautiful pop songs. Ask The Lord
became easily a club classic, Forbidden is one of the best
ballads ever written by Scottish group and my all time
favourite song, with a solo by Pim that shakes my bones
each and every time, is Long White Car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music for long drives on small country roads..., January 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hipsway (Audio CD)

I remember the first time I heard this record (at the time when CD was just a designers initials) in the mid-80's. I was really in to all types of new wave and electronic sounding stuff; and along comes this band who used gorgeous rhythms and even some brass instruments to really make you swing. I was at a friends house when he played this for me, and I've been a fan ever since. A lot of the stuff I listened to then brings back a smile, but I wouldn't go out of my way to hear it again soon after. Hipsway is different. I don't think I can ever get bored of listening to this..."Tinder" reminds me of the girl I never could have, "The Honeythief" reminds me of a very good party; "The Broken Years" reminds me of, well, that long drive on a small country road...

Long white car is one of the best 80's pop singles I have ever heard. If your like OMD, New Order,Thompson Twins etc. You are in for an aural treat with Hipsway.
