The Cinematics - A Strange Education
The Cinematics: Scott Rinning, Ramsay Miller (vocals, guitar); Adam
Goemans (bass guitar); Ross Bonney (drums, percussion). Recording information: Bryn Derwen, Wales. On their full-length debut, the Scots band the Cinematics recall the early-1980s bass heavy dance grooves of bands like New Order and Simple Minds, notably on the angst-ridden "Break" and the rolling, percussive "Asleep At the Wheel," though "Rise and Fall" cruises along on the crest of a contemporary sounding hypnotic wave of rhythm guitar, with singer Scott Rinning sounding like a cross between the Cure's Robert Smith and Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Er, can't access the file because you've put it through the link protection site, Send Space doesn't allow that. Don't know why people bother with link protection anyway.
