>From the upcoming MOHAIR SWEETS (#5)... V.A.:A Fever! Comp. (Bip Bip Records) It�s international time! Fever! the Spanish Mod/�60s newsletter/website and all round party machine, has selected 17 top Mod, Power Pop, Hammond groove, and all around scene shaking bands for it�s first big time compilation. Things get firmly in the groove from the get go with San Francisco�s fabulous Hammond combo the Nick Rossi Set. Lots more organ grinding as well with Barcelona�s Sidonie, Belgium�s Supersonic, London�s Les Hommes (awesome �Big Al�s Theme�) and Saarbruecken�s The Flake. Top US power-poppers the Pills turn up the volume, energy, and melody to the max, on their knockout �Wide Awake (And Fading Out).� Modesty Blaise, Art School, and Bristol�s Modesty Blaise also turn in very strong pop colorations. Quant (RIP) make the scene with their classic �Play With Mary,� along with Detour labelmates The Apemen. Other groups featured include the Elephant Band, Matamala, The Real Crazy Apartment, The Pacifics, Helium Angel, and Stealer; with a rather disappointing cover (both recording and performance wise) of Free�s �Song Of Yesterday.� If you want a good overview of the bands playing the clubs, rallies and dances of the �60s/Mod scenes then this is for you, definitely.
