A rare sample CD from Polydor in Japan.
There’s not much info on this release I’m afraid, but it includes tracks from artists such as The Beautiful South, Happy Mondays, The Soup Dragons, Tha La’s and of course the Trashcan Sinatras.
Two tracks from ‘Cake’ are featured here – ‘Obscurity Knocks’ and ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’.

Originally hailing from Orkney, off the north coast of Scotland, Kris Drever cut his teeth on the Edinburgh traditional music scene in the late 1990s. The son of Ivan Drever, (of Celtic rockers, Wolfstone), Kris has picked up plenty of praise for his work with ‘Britfolk supergroup’, Lau, and his wonderful solo debut ‘Black Water’ made him a deserving winner of the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award in 2007.
Here, on his single ‘Poor Man’s Son’ he is joined by Eddi Reader, Frank Reader and Roddie Woomble (Idlewild), who all provide harmony vocals.
Track down his album – you don’t have to be a folkie to enjoy it.

It’s shiny, it’s new and it’s here. Say hello to ‘In The Music’.
I’ll leave the song reviews for another time and just let you all drool over the packaging.
The Japanese release comes in digi-pak form with the obligatory obi-strip. Inside we have a marvellous fold out lyric sheet with a fantastic montage of band pics on the reverse, and as with all Japanese releases there’s an additional lyric booklet, which kindly explains the band’s thinking behind each song.
Get In(to) The Music – it’s magic!
