Phish "Joy" & Fanfarlo "Reservoir"

















OK, this comes from someone who considered Phish one of the great bands of the 1990's. Since then they've been spotty, calling it quits a few years ago. I've come to enjoy all the various solo releases, and completely loved the "It" DVD. But this "reunion" album is not getting the complete add to the long list of Phish releases in my collection. I told a friend it sounds like it's for the money, but since it's their own label, guess not. It's not without highlights as I'm keeping three tracks, but I just could not convince myself to retain it all.





















Fanfarlo is a band I heard of earlier in the year and I picked it up after sampling the first thirty seconds of a few of the songs. They are a British band with all the elements I seem to like in
my intellipop music, but it just did not quite mesh into a cohesive release for me after the requisite three spins. I'm going to keep a track (The Walls are Coming Down) to remind me to give their next album a try.
