NOUR D'OUI
by Sons of Selina
Audio CD, Delerium Records, DELEC CD 025, enquire to Delerium Records, P.O. Box 1288, Gerrards Cross, Bucks SL9 9YB. Laced with energy, experimentation and dark menacing humour, Nour d'Oui is a fusion of punk, new wave, and heavy brooding space rock that grabs your attention from the opening chords of 'Climb' right through to the final notes of 'Dreamshadow'. Relentless bass lines and rabble-rousing choruses underpin choppy guitars, soaring synths and abrasive vocals, overlaid with a floaty, Lloyd-Langton-style lead guitar, news samples and other weird sound effects. If Hawkwind had ever kicked out Dave Brock and let Lemmy take the helm, then I guess this is what the result would have sounded like.
