Customer Reviews:
Possibly the best album this millenium.......2005-01-07
Lawrence is a true original. This album has some of the funniest, most genuinely eccentric pop you'll ever hear BUT also has some incredibly poignant heartbreaking moments. She Tore It Up And Walked Away distils a whole world of heartbreak into aprox. 1 minute 40 seconds using just 30 or so words and a sad simple melody. Mrs. Back-to-Front And The Bull Ring Thing will confuse you, Hip Op (an unlikely knees up tribute to the Queen Mum) will make you giggle and smile. If you loved Lawrence's band FELT you might hate this but I hope you will love it because I think it is a remarkable and very pure album.
Brave, Brilliant and Bold Bubblegum Pop.......2003-10-24
Lawrence started off as leader of possibly the most iconic and enigmatic English indie band Felt. Go-Kart Mozart is the polar opposite of everything Felt were but I think it is here and not Felt that Lawrence has made his great masterpiece. This is a trully absurd album but there is something very moving here. You get a feeling Lawrence is really opening his heart to you here and not censoring his unique world view. Here is a Song, Plead With The Man and She Tore It Up and Walked Away are melodic treasures.
This album will be written off as joke by some who embrace other popsters still putting on their best totally phoney and forced "I'm a serious artist" stance. Want a real serious artist, one not frightened of using humour in his work? Look no further than Lawrence.
I'm a sailor boy..........2002-03-06
being a fan of Felt and Denim...i picked this cd up. "We're Selfish And Lazy.." is a good song and one of my favs on here. "Here Is A Song" has some good synthesisers. "Sailor Boy" is a song about... jail...but it is a funny song. "City Synthesis" & "Plug-In City" sound the same and they sound like Laurence is beating up a synthesiser. "drinkin um bongo" is only 40 seconds long. "mrs. back to front" is a childrens story told by a chipmunk voice and has Laurence cussing and has a song about The Bull Ring Shopping Center. "hip op" is about a hip surgery on the queen...anyways pick this up if you like Felt,Denim, or just plain weird music. bye.
BRILLIANT!!! Pefect psychotic satiric pop! Lawrence is nutz!.......2000-03-18
Go-Kart Mozart is Lawrence's NEW band sounds ALOT like DENIM.. If you like DENIM, you'll love this!!! Now I love Felt but this is different... MUCH different! But still, It's a perfect and tight album. From the cool electronic instrumentals to the wild and cool and hilarious songs "We're Selfish, Lazy and Greedy", "Hip Op", "Plead With The Man", "Drinkin Um Bongo", and "Sailor Boy".. "Drinking Um Bongo" is only 45 seconds!!!! "Sailor Boy" is about s-o-d-o-m-y in jail! "Hip Op"is NOT about hip-hop.. It's about the Queen mum having a hip operation! "Depleted Soul" is hardcore techno! Lawrence uses many different styles and genres (like Denim) .. From techno, to lounge, to pop, to rock.. There's a whole song devoted to WENDY JAMES, the lead singer to Transvision Vamp... Momus even loves it and speakes very highly of it on his website. This is an EXCELLENT ALBUM!!! All Lawrence fans MUST get it!
