5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine lost classic, June 12, 2002

This review is from: What's the Matter Boy? (Audio CD)

While the fans were waiting for a Subway Sect punk album, it was classic Godard to come up with this French pop style version of the songs the Sect had been performing for a couple of years. His manager having sacked the rest of the Sect, Vic was forced into using a brand new, untested studio (but it was cheap!) with a motley selection of musician friends, all of whom were unpaid. Despite everything, the results were marvellous. Vic was reasonably happy and so was Rhodes who, without Vic's knowledge, pocketed the rather large advance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely original - unlike anything else out there, September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: What's the Matter Boy (Audio CD)

Modestly produced, well-crafted songs which are hard to characterize as rock, pop or jazz. Vic Godard's voice is not as strong and confident as on the later album Songs For Sale (when is that coming out on CD???), but that's part of this album's quiet charm. An extremely cool addition to every non-conformist's collection

If you love the period of New Wave, and all it has meant, this is a record you must have, if you don't love new wave,buy it the same, this is for everything who love pure music ( unless you love Yes, in this case buy something else... )
