A respectful
tip of the hat to XTC´s Andy Partridge & his adroit presence, whom we
all love & know… "The Speed Of
A Train" rolls down a track melded with touches of Mersey-Beat, complimented
with an original vocal of quirky melodic patterns ; Reminiscent of Ray
Davies & The Kinks, meet post modern British Pop, on a light & airy audio-tram
into the twilight
A favorite cut
of ours, is the wonderful & spacious "Tuscany Row". With it's Sgt. Pepperish
flavor, married to a Paul McCartney Vox line-(Circa early solo period
Sir Paul)
Surpassing the
mundane, in favor of an eccentric air of positive energy detachment, Could
we please have some more of these type of tunes…Mr. Newell... On "Horses Up
On The Hill", Martin delivers a Mid-Tempo mind blower ; A Tack Piano,
Synthesizers, Hammond-style Organ & Electric Guitar with Phase Shifting
effects ; A delightful Vocal, with just a near perfect dose of Digital
Reverb, amidst occasional double harmonies. Please, more of this style
of sonic-stuff sir… The more one
listens to Martin Newell's musical skills & creative compositions, the
more one is lead to the conclusion, that repeated listening is a positive
plus ; As there is much more to Mr. Newell's music than meets the eyes
& ears of perception

Martin
Newell's "Songs From The Station Hotel" is an eclectic EP from a charming
& reclusive Englishman of numerous facets, twists & pseudo-cerebral turns
