"The sound of rainbows bursting through the tarmac of the big city." This is
how NME described the sound of Scottish foursome the Cinematics. Not too
many bands that remind me early Psychedelic Furs, but The Cinematics do for
my ears. Of course, inside this stream, you`ll hear Echo & The Bunnymen and
Franz Ferdinand and if you are familiar with the under-rated British band
Editors, you get where "A Strange Education" is planting its flag. "Their
charismatic debut is a slick proposition that calls to mind glossy
gloominess of Editors, the dirty glam of Suede and the sharp hooks of Wire.
Rating: 85%"-Filter. ike so many of the current crop of 80`s influenced UK
acts, the band elicits the cold, grey, stark and sometimes austere side of
life in the North. Powered by tight grooves that demand movement and
passionate, powerful and thoughtful vocals, the Cinematics also bring
emotion and warmth. The end result is music that transcends any trends or
underground niche. "8 out of 10. The Scottish group¹s debut album is
friendly, inviting, charming, and infectious, but on listening to A Strange
Education, one would be hard pressed not to think of four other Glaswegians
who have recently become big household names. Nonetheless, this 13-track
album (with four bonus videos included) has plenty of zip and a darker, New
Order or Joy Division tone to much of it.. In fact, this album actually gets
better the longer it goes, leaving one wanting a hell of a lot more than the
baker¹s dozen offerings."-PopMatters.
