Review: Ooh this is special. The legendary Ultravox frontman and electronic pioneer John Foxx presents a special edition version of his Cathedral Oceans trilogy across 5 LPs! In addition to the three Cathedral Oceans albums, released over a timespan of some eight years from '97 onwards, Demon Music also slip in a hardback book and DVD relating to Foxx's art exhibition of the same name. This is how you do a boxset! Definitely one for the fans.

Review: The name 'Ocean Colour Scene' is an amalgamation of the eponymous band's three favourite words. This direct-democratic approach to band-naming should be an example to us all. But what of their music? 'Yesterday Today 1992-1997' compiles the West Midlands band's most eminent songs, which largely fall in the category of Britpop and indie. While commercial success for the group was limited (indeed bands like Oasis, Blur and The Verve were monopolizing the market), that says absolutely nothing about the quality of the music on this retrospective. Quite the contrary, actually; with selections spanning over ten studio albums, songs like 'Sway', 'Talk On' and 'Blue Deep Ocean' sound equally nostalgic and optimistic for a better musical future than now.
