frente! (Marvin-the Album and Shape) Aussie alt.rock; EAC FLAC

I don't remember why I bought this around 93 or there abouts.. Loved it (even though I was into much harder stuff)

Somewhere and somehow with girlfriend break ups I lost it.

for kicks I bought this again a few weekago.

Oddly the full album isn't on napster or pandora which made this
a special purchase.

this is a classic laid back/anti grunge smooovy singer songwriter piece of work.

It's different from most of the American Singer Song writer stuff of the 90s ; it lacks all the
melodramatic political crap which most fall prey too.

While Frente! never went onto be the greatest band ever.. who cares! If a person/s can create
one great thing then do it!

A good, consistent and enjoyable album and I'm glad to see this anniversary edition (21st anniversary?). When had I first listened to this years ago I was really taken with Angie Hart's vocals that to me frequently resembled the sound of Harriet Wheeler from the Sundays, a group I thoroughly loved but couldn't find enough of as they vanished at some point in the 90's. There apparently wasn't much of Frente either, unfortunately, but this album is really a gem, from beautiful sound of songs like 'Pretty Girl' to the wonderful cover of 'Bizarre love triangle' and even the laughter at the end of 'Lonely', there are so many songs to enjoy from this album.
