The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy: Illuminate (Creation Records).
The difficult tenth album from one of British pop's great
lost eccentrics. Jazz
Butcher albums consist of two or three guaranteed drop-dead
moments of
brilliance and a lot of amiable whimsy. Illuminate doesn't
break the mould
and the glorious ![[listen to Cute Submarines]](/images/iconMP3.gif) Cute Submarines, the deliciously catchy
paean to art-rock
When Eno Sings, and the heartfelt Jurassic Park as Utopia
of Land are
essential additions to the great Jazz Butcher compilation in
the sky. The rest
is just silly, indulgent or leadenly political. lacking the
JBC gift of
pop-irony. True converts are encouraged to investigate
1988's wonderful
Fishcotheque.
***(Okay) Tom Lappin.
