Product Description

 
The Beautiful South: Sean Welch, Dave Hemingway, David Rotheray, Paul Heaton, David Stead. Additional personnel: Brianna Corrigan (vocals); Gary Barnacle (saxophone, flute); John Thirkle (trumpet, flugelhorn); Peter Thoms (trombone); Pete Wingfield (piano, keyboards); Mel Wesson (keyboards, drum progamming); Martin Ditcham (percussion). Producers: Mike Hedges; John Rowley. Engineers: Ian Grimble; Dave Meeghan. Formed from the ashes of the Housemartins, The Beautiful South became one of England's most successful bands. Released in 1989, their debut, WELCOME TO THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, introduces the band's style. Musically, the songs are often deceptively sweet sounding, while lyrically brutally sardonic, even cruel. This combination keeps their records extremely edgy and sometimes uncomfortable, though there's no denying the band's skill. A perfect example of this is "Woman in the Wall," which is musically energetic and triumphal, though its lyrics owe something to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," te...

What pop should be.

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2000
Review: Thank goodness for Sassy. I've said before and I'll say it again -- Sassy, the fab early 90's stereotype-shattering girl magazine, made me a cooler person. For example, if it weren't for beloved Sassy staffer, Christina Kelly, I would never have...

Clever first recording by a band I was sure wouldnt last (glad I was wrong)

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: The recording is fun and funny without being silly.  For a first recording it is surprisingly mature and worth many listenings.
Review:  Since I cannot assume that other epiners will read all reviews of The Beautiful South I have to assume each one is separate, so everything in italics is a boilerplate that occurs at the beginning of each review.  If you have already read one, then...

Mikhail's Choice: "The Heaton Inquiry"

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: Join the Heaton Inquiry. Help the movement in its struggle, and love the soundtrack. The last great album of the eighties, and this band's finest.
Review: There have been several resistance movements here in Omsk since the death of Olga Taxin, revolutionary Russian revolutionary. The first was referred to as the D-Squad, merely since their leader was Dee Dee, cousin of British humorist Jack Dee Dee...
