Notes:
Blue Flux's
latest
album emerges with a scaly smile from its
intensive two-year incubation,
then
hits
the
ground
running
with its punchy opening track Bullets.
The
deceptively twangy Picsty
soon nails its true colours
to the mast, until the gentler tones of Paradox stop
down the camera lens
and slowly tilt it towards the mirror. Maintaining
this softer focus
are the plangent Eye
Of Your Needle
and the timely yet timeless Save Our
Soul, until Here To Help
hits the lights to deliver its relentless roundkick
with all guns
blazing. The album's bittersweet title track paints
a universal picture
that sets the scene for Shooting Star's
final
song,
the
ethereal Nameless
Isle.
As
colourful as
its original artwork, Shooting Star is
nothing less than
testimony to a band at the peak of their
performance. With delicate
songwriting and no-holds-barred musicianship abound,
this is an album
that stands up to scrutiny and might just sparkle a
little more with
every catch.
