Here's a belated return to my
Peter Hope discography project. This time we have
Candy, the second CD recorded by Peter Hope and his bandmate from The Box, Charlie Collins, as Flex 13. (See
here for the first,
Paint My Legs.) Recorded in 1998 and 1999,
Candy is a livelier affair than
Paint My Legs. "Nothing Starts" is a dead ringer for early Clock DVA (Charlie Collins period), and ex-DVA and Box-man Paul Widger adds guitar to "Leader of the Pack" (co-written by John Wills, who plays on that track and the other one he co-wrote, "Back of Your Mind"). Also guesting is
Jonathan S. Podmore, a.k.a. Kumo (a.k.a. Jono), who plays theremin on "Picking Up Speed." Here's the full track list:
- Listen Doctor
- Nothing Starts
- Birdman Falling
- Uptown Crank
- Grease Junkie
- Picking Up Speed
- Your Drugs Are Killing Me
- Leader of the Pack
- Ditch I'm In
- Back of Your Mind
It's a fine addition to the Hope/Collins opus, and the last one that I'm aware of. (If you know otherwise, please let me know in the comments.) Get the CD rip
