Baxter Dury is not the first son, who follows the career of the father. Unlike Sean Lennon (well), Arlo Guthrie (respectable), Richard Starkey (unspectacular), Ziggy Marley (footsteps too large) or Jeff Buckley (well, unfortunately, tragically) to keep the son of the late New Wave / punk icon Ian Dury very far from the musical heritage of his father away. Baxter is up to publish in October 2001, very psychedelic sounding single Oscar Brown (from the Guardian and the NME Single Of The Week "is selected) was completely normal. Not a year later Dury Len Parrot's sets now with Memorial to lift just once a furious debut album. 30 Lenze it is there already old, a late entrant, therefore, although he always stayed in the music scene and was surrounded by artists. Lack of courage and laziness prevented an earlier start of career, also lives in London man came despite deep insights into the pop business and studio techniques late in the songwriting.
Somehow it seems that It took a slow development process to provide such a clever and round album finished. At his side stood his friend Geoff Barrow (Portishead), the former bassist Norman Watt-Blockheads-Roy, Richard Hawley of Pulp and the ex-Spiritualized drummer Damon Reece. The team cited Velvet Underground, Syd Barrett, The Beatles, Marc Bolan and much sixties psychedelia. Mercury Rev are also often mentioned as a source of inspiration, but "I knew, like so many other bands as compared relied not," said the Briton. Just as he was not aware of the sound of his father (exception: "Gingham Smalls") distances, just copying examples. The music comes from the warm inside and it has a very own grandeur of simple beauty. "Sofa music" called Baxter Len Parrot's Memorial Lift yourself - embrace and not just for this understatement would be it (amazon - C: s.niechziol).

How fast time flies. In the meantime, the publication of Baxter Dury's debut album, Len Parrot's Memorial Lift 'almost exactly three years ago. If the quality but still remains in such good shape we wait a little longer on News from Dury. With 'Floor Show' puts Baxter in front of a wonderful successor, to which it succeeds, the expectations over to meet and at the same time develop a very good deal further. Wonderful psychedelic pop with references to old classics of the 60s and 70s, which sounds the same all the way here and now.
The new songs are much more compact and direct than on, Len Parrot's Memorial Lift '. As on the predecessor, Baxter can not impressed by the large shadow over the work of his father Ian Dury. Musically, he goes his own way and only in part can be recognized by his voice, the family relationship. Here again, the new album sounds refreshingly old-fashioned in the best sense for the latest trends and styles without being aligned. Produced was, Floor Show 'by Nick Baxter and Terry, mixed the album by Craig Silvey (including The Coral, Magic Numbers) was.
no doubt that Baxter is a great piece of music succeeded, which has the makings of a classic. The best impression you get of course, in hearing the entire album. As an entry were, however, Cocaine Man '(track 2), Lisa Said' recommended (Track 3) and "Sister Sister" (Track 6).
An album that you should not miss in any case! (Amazon)
