Okay - with 10-minutes to go at work I nominate (and only because it's here in the office) World Party's "Goodbye Jumbo" for album of the week, originally released in 1990 (although appears to be re-released with bonus tracks and media tracks).
And - sorry for all you folks who have eagerly followed the snippet links - there don't seem to be any websites with musical samples.
Okay - yes, Karl Wallinger has no problem channeling the Rolling Stones and the Beatles (although he goes a bit Bob Dylan on his latest album), but somehow he makes the homage his own.
Best known song off the album is "Way Down Now" - his Stone's inspired knock-off of Satisfaction with the Sympathy for the Devil woo-woo's(lyric - Some Faceless Git on the screen, the most honest honest man I've ever seen) -
But some how World Party succeeds in re-inventing in their own fashion.
Other notable songs are "Love Street", "Sweet Soul Dream", "Ain't Gonna Come Till I'm Ready" - all terrific stuff.
