This Is PilOpis:ReviewFittingly, it begins with a long, unrepentant burp. A dubby rumble of bass and icy chimes of guitar follow closely behind, and already we’re back inside a sonic blueprint that helped define the post-punk era."This is PiL," is the prowling war cry of this opening title-track, "And we’re quite a-PiL-ing!”Hardly vintage repartee, but that’s not because Mr Lydon is short of things to say. "I am John!" he shouts to introduce One Drop, "And I was born in London!" Whether he might like some spare change for his tube fare home is slightly less clear, but he's got our attention. "We are the focus, not of the hopeless," he insists as a loose-limbed guitar skanks idly around the beat, and by the time he claims "We are the ageless, we are teenagers," the sheer charisma of that wailing, hectoring delivery has managed to convince you of sentiments that logic tells you are highly questionable.

So far so Rotten then, and the urgent, uptight melancholia of Deeper Water also preserves that sense of waving and drowning. But it's Human that really grabs your attention most as he informs us, “Your leaders are not good enough for you,” as a pleasingly moreish guitar motif recycles itself. But hang on, what’s this?"I miss the… English roses, Salad beer and summer gear… cotton dresses skipping across the lawn…”Steady on there, granddad.

By the time he sings, “All the days were long…when football was not a yawn” (I take it you missed Match of the Day on the last day of the season then, John?), you can't help wondering if the last of the eternal radicals has finally embraced conservatism.

Not a chance, on the evidence of stomping rat-a-tat oddity Lollipop Opera, which degenerates into freestyling gibberish rhymes about rooms, shrooms and brooms. Admittedly, spoken-word number The Room I Am In does throw up unedifying images of Compo from Last of the Summer Wine branching out into prog-rock poetry, but he’s back on form on the jabbering chatter of Reggie Song: “I am from Finsbury Park,” he squawks, “and I am having a lark.”Good to have you back, you silly old fool. --Johnny Sharp Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new windowProduct DescriptionCD+DVD Deluxe edition .

Public Image Ltd can confirm that their first new album in 20 years This Is PiL released on May 28th will contain 12 tracks. The album is self-funded by PiL and will be released on PiL's own label PiL Official via Cargo UK Distribution. All the new material was recorded in the UK last year at Steve Winwood's studio in the Cotswolds. John Lydon talks about This Is PiL :'Well, 12 songs, where do I begin? Everything and anything that attracts my attention. One Drop is about my early youth in Finsbury Park. Fantastic! Hello, we're all teenagers don't you forget it! At any age, stay young. Lollipop Opera is basically a beautiful bunch of background noise and music to sum up Britain and all its wonderful ambidextrousness! The Room I Am In, well that's about drugs and council flats. And there's a tragedy that still continues. I Must Be Dreaming Well, you know, I must be to put up with these governments.' Following on from their monumental live performance at BBC Radio 6 Birthday Celebrations at Queen Elizabeth Hall on Friday March 16th which saw PiL include and baptise 2 new songs: Deeper Water and One Drop, PiL also played 2 very special shows at London's Heaven showcasing more tracks from the new album with The Times commenting 'This was and evening uncompromising art music, worthy of the total concentration of the audience'. The track One Drop has now also received airplay from BBC Radio 6, XFM and Absolute Radio. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time PiL's music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums. With a shifting line-up and unique sound John Lydon guided the band from their debut album 'First Issue' in 1978 through to 1992's 'That What Is Not', before a 17 yearAutor:Public Image LtdNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2012-05-31Waga: 0.42 gramWysokość: 0.7 cmSzerokość: 5.2 cmDługość: 5.8 cmRecord Label: Pil OfficialCatalog#: PIL 002CDXCountry Of Release: NLDYear Of Release: 2012Notes: Incl.
