'Q' are renowed for their toughness of its crtitics.... Under their new albums section Q Review Star ratings: * Poor. Best Avoided ** Average. Cautioned advised. *** Good. Not for everyone, but fine within itsfield. **** Excellent. Definately worth investigation. ***** Indispensable. Truely exceptional. Stan Ridgway Anatomy New West NW6010 Cult post-modern balladeer (of Camouflage fame) hits artistic paydirt again. Many folks have a soft spot for Stanard Ridgway. His track record is lovable, be it the fabulously off-kilter Wall of Voodoo or his UK Number 4 solo hit Camouflage, which both celebrated and parodied the death song. But if you pick this up for sheer sentiment, you have a cracking surprise in store. Anatomy is Wonderful. Now ploughly an independent furrow - somewhere between Johnny Cash and The Triffids - he's never sounded better. Weird, wry, desolate tales of assorted misfits and mishaps illustrated with superb arrangements and hooks such as the harmonica lick on Picasso's Tears or the gorgeous pedal steel refrain in Whistle for Louise. Impossible to dislike. Q Rating - **** Written by Stuart Maconie.
