form when he's the kind of utterly loutish rebel you love
to hate, or wish you were, or both.Door Inspector" (from Viva Dead Ponies), a
pretty ballad about a pitiless yet pitiful enforcer of Big
Brotherism.The struggle to find a balance was the story of
Coughlan's '80s band, Microdisney, and it continues to be a
mission for Fatima Mansions.In his past life, Coughlan never seemed to get
comfortable enough with himself or Microdisney to evolve
steadily, and Fatima Mansions threatens to duplicate that
flow chart.In three different mixes, the
latter appears repeatedly throughout Fatima's international
catalogue.With
the release of Viva Dead Ponies, it became apparent
that Coughlan and company had found a dynamic way of
conveying passionate sentiments that was as engaging as it
was (often) harsh."Look What I Stole for Us, Darling"
and "A Pack of Lies" (a beaten woman ascends to heaven
where "Holy God is there to greet her and batter her into
her place").Velvet Underground's "Lady Godiva's
Operation."The title song is a touching little
number about a curiously misguided life.The catchy verse and the middle eight of the
opening "Evil Man" belie its declaration of denial,
hypocrisy and alienation.Save for the jarring riff after
the chorus, "Something Bad" rocks jauntily despite its
thorough sense of disgust, somehow linking a loathsome
sexual encounter with the persistence of needless
militarism."You put the world on hold and let
despair tear you apart").As you roam the mirthless
earth."As the
previous album was not issued in the US, two of the
best "rock" tracks from Valhalla Avenue ("Something
Bad" and "Go Home Bible Mike") are included here.One exception to that gulf on Lost in the Former
West is the oddly calm recrimination of "Walk Yr Way,"
the lovely chorus chords of which contribute to its
emotional complexity."Nite Flights," the tunefully doomy title
tune of one of the Walker Brothers' '70s reunion records,
wherein Coughlan harmonizes with himself on the choruses.That track spearheads an EP, which also features Coughlan's
bleakly compelling "As I Washed the Blood Off," a version
of Suicide's "Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne" and "It's So
Cold....Think," which puts a phrase from "Nite Flights"
into a new context.Bryan Adams' "(Everything I
Do) I Do It for You."None of it is radical or shocking,
just unfunny and overlong.Amid potshots at Lynyrd Skynyrd and
George Michael, the most noteworthy number accuses Q
magazine of causing Kurt Cobain's death (and of being
satanic, or something).Droll is not the word for it.Once
you've heard the name of the band, you've heard the best of
Bubonique.Object MovedThis object may be found here. |
