16 short, tuneful, chunky songs without words (mostly). Recorded LEGO HQ Brick Lane London 1998
'LEGO's seven guitarists explore non-rock'n'roll sounds with a an irresistible glee. Though rooted in free
improvisation, LEGO ... replicate the historic highpoints of rock's past, be
they spaghetti Western stylings of Felt's first two albums, the angular
aesthetics of Tom Verlaine, the sublime psychedelia of early quicksilver
Messenger Service, or the anarchic energy of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band.' Stewart
Lee THE SUNDAY TIMES
'Cosy little deconstruction of the
guitar which takes it back to pre-Chuck Berry days. Bizarre.' MELODY MAKER
'Eccentric, witty, good humoured
and strangely attractive.' THE WIRE
'LEGO ransack pop and rock guitar genres from the 1950's on.Phrases that came to mind are Heath Robinson joins The Shadows;
lo-fi Duane
Eddy in the kitchen; and Themes for Dada TV….Something to listen to between
Half Man Half Biscuit and the Bonzos.' RUBBERNECK
