Ian Matthews - Spot Of Interference/Shook CD : Release Information

Ian Matthews - Spot Of Interference/Shook. CD. (B.G.O. Records - BGOCD681) 2fer featuring the best of the acclaimed singer-songwriter's 80s albums. Although associated with folk-rock due to his time spent as frontman with Fairport Convention, Plainsong and Southern Comfort, Matthews' solo output has always stylistically varied and been difficult to pin down, and these are no exception- the first flirting openly with tthe powerpop sound of XTC, Squeeze, Bram Tchiakovsky et al, the second an excursion nto minimalist synthesised New Wave. Sadly, he never received enough acclaim for these experiments, but the albums are worthy of investigation- especially in a digitally remastered slipcase format with brand new notes.
