This is an astonishing record, if only because Supergrass have
discovered a sound so distinctive they can mine it's seams 12 songs
deep without ever running out of gold. Every song sounds totally like
Supergrass, the Supergrass peg slid smoothly into the Supergrass
hole, snug as OJ's glove. Which means that, at first listen, this
album almost sounds lazy, slightly too at ease with itself. You
imagine that, since everything feels so natural and relaxed, no
effort's gone in at all. Maybe none did, but it's doubtful. If genius
is 99 per cent perspiration, Supergrass must be very, very sweaty
muppets right now.
It starts with "Moving", the best song for sure. But only in the
sense that diamonds are the best gems, or kisses are the best things
you can do wih your mouth. All its grandeur-swollen, hip-grinding,
heart-stopping energy appears, equally echoed, in every other song:
the driven snarl of "Your Love", the barking Madness (both senses) of
"What Went Wrong (In Your Head)?", the "Delilah"-ish zigzag of
"Beautiful People"... and on, and on, and on.
The thing is, nothing's changed. Gaz still sounds like Thom Yorke
colouring in Billy Corgan's scribbles with Kurt Cobain bleeding out
the red, the music still plays honky-tonk in a bar full of underage
psychopaths. But this is head, shoulders, chest, belly and pubic
undercarriage ahead of their last two albums, all the overzealous
randomness of "I Should Coco" and the over-anxious sharpness of "In
It For The Money" replaced by something far more sophisticated, far
more luscious. So, when the opening thunder of "Eon" fizzles into
still-watered sadness, your heart leaps with feeling, plunges under
it's ripples to taste the blue. When the ostensibly wacky,
country-glam of "Jesus Came From Outta Space" rolls its wagon up to
the swinging saloon doors of Pink Floyd-style dramatics, all your
cynicism dissolves like two Alka Seltzers in a bucket full of tears.
But it's the closing stretch of "Mama & Papa" that really shows you
how far Supergrass have come, the blustering frenzy they've always
called home packed up into tiny boxes of melanchony, the line "I miss
my mummy and I miss my daddy" every bit as lullaby-soft as John
Lennon's "Good Night", and every bit as moving. It's a beautiful end
to a strangely bewildering album, and the key to yet another
frontier. Phantastic.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UBE - ROCKIN' THE SCENE FOR ONE YEAR NOW

Yeah, we did it. One year ago, at September, 6th, we released our
first album "The New, The Classic & The Unexplored Vol. 1" under the
UBE label. We started as a small group of friends who knew each other
from various german MP3 channels on IRCNet, and from this time on UBE
became bigger and bigger. At January 99 we moved to EFNet, cause we
realized, that here are much more possibilities for us.
Now, after a year of both trouble and fun, we can look back at many
quality releases, and we are proud of our work. Now it's time to thank
everybody who helped us to grow that big. Fat props fly out to all
siteops, friends, members, ex-members, all other mp3 groups and last
but not least you, the guys who leech our stuff.
Expect more of UBE in the next year, we have a strong memberbase to
rock your house with cool music.
And don't forget : It's quality that counts, not quantity. This was our
motto from the beginning, and it'll never change.

As any other group, we are still looking for good talented rippers and
suppliers, who can supply us with new releases or any other things that
could be interesting for us (e.g. hardware, shells, webspace, domain).
If you have something you can contribute to the group, feel free to
contact us via e-mail or just join #ube @ EFNet (key : outpost).
