Moorder II (CD)
"As I listened to this progressive, creative and fascinating release, a rueful smile emerged. I was totally enthralled by the exhilarating combination of lead guitar and trombone prevalent throughout much of the album. It was also a smile that was solidly frozen in place by warm reminiscences of Tubby's tale and the endless possibilities of tuba prog rock. Instinctively my older heart was once again seduced by the low end drawl of the tuba.
Moorder II has gone some way to satisfy my fascination with the tuba. I really like this release and have come to appreciate its subtleties and overall majesty. Each track has something positive to offer and is difficult to identify a standout track, although Beef ice with its superb trombone solo and urban guitar riff ranks highly.
And finally, after almost daily exposure to Mini Spiders, you may be pleased to know that I am now able to hum along smugly. I
Alas, the experience of Moorder II has reawakened a long-forgotten regret. I wish my father had not disposed of that yellow vinyl that was resplendently housed in a picture sleeve depicting a rather portly tuba. "
