Customer Reviews:
The best British album of 1987.......2005-10-06
Was music meant to be fun? Was it supposed to soundtrack getting drunk at teenage parties or driving to clubs with your mates in a dodgy old knacker, with the stereo blaring?
If you thought that fun was important, but you also wanted guitars, beats, samples and tunes that just won't leave you alone, Box Frenzy was the only album in town. I still listen to it now. There Is No Love Between Us Anymore is a definitive dance/rock crossover tune, that would rock UK indie dancefloors for years after release and still sound fresh.
Grebo Guru kicks off the album, revealing their fuzzier, scuzzier roots, but chugs along nicely, warming up for the classic Beaver Patrol, with it's tongue in cheek sexism (A old US garage band tune, The Wylde Knights). Let's Get Ugly is daft, funny and massively entertaining. 'Romantic' love song Evelyn, allegedly to a particular drink discovered on tour changes styles dramatically, whilst the cover of Love Missile F1-11 has the infectious energy of a roomful of toddlers on tartrazine.
Inside You is another early PWEI classic and is both disarmingly direct and strangely tender, given that it seems to be about 'that special feeling, when I'm inside you'.
The extra tracks on the CD reissue don't add much to the experience of this classic, although another version of Def Con One is a splendid bonus, as are the live tracks. How's that for a re-emergence of the British artform?
