Review

Love him or hate him, Richard X has a good story to tell. A sort of musical tale of rags to riches, setting the enigma off with his fantastic Girls on Top 7"s and the pathetic bastard pop scene that followed, the man did it better than the rest and, well, before too long swapped dodgy Czech-pressed 7"s into major label deals and a queue of manufactured bands lining up to get a dose of his X-Factor. The "sell-out" was inevitable, but listening to this album you get the impression that our richard is a bloody smart little sod. There are some genuinely brilliant production touches scattered across the 15 tracks on offer but, bizarrely, the album falls on precisely those splicing techniques that got him there in the first place. Perhaps the idea that all samples have been cleared has taken something away from the buzz, for in the end the whackest r&b tunes stateside have used similar techniques for years, or maybe the popularisation of something once undeniably underground is just a tad too crass - in either case, there's nothing dangerous, daring about what's on display. With all said and done, however, it's a good fun pop album, and you just can't help but admire the man for, well, you just sense he's at times really taking the piss, having his cake and eating it like. Good on ya Rich.
