"ALL OF A TREMBLE"... LIVE IN GOTHENBURG, 2008.NEW ALBUM "LOST AT SEA" OUT NOW!.....
St. Christopher’s "Lost At Sea" is out now!
At last! The long awaited retrospective album from St. Christopher is out! It includes all the recordings they made for the legendary Sarah Records. Includes liner notes by Mateo Guiscafré from Siesta Records!..............St. Christopher – The Kind of Girl:-"This must be one of the most beautiful songs about a girl anyone has written. Glenn Melia really is an expert on the matter, being the author of songs like "Antoinette", "Charmelle", "Josephine, Why?" and "Wanda". It’s safe to say St. Christopher is one of my favourite, favourite bands and that Glenn Melia is possibly the best male pop singer ever! This swooning number is from the You Deserve More Than a Maybe 7", their classic first release on Sarah.".... AVERSION.COM reviewX X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X"GOLDEN BLUE " CD REVIEW, BY POP MATTERS MAGAZINE:-
"Like Barrett, Gabriel, Julian Cope and others, Glenn Melia lets us hop on his back for a sonic trip across the river that flows inside your imagination.Golden Blue is a skyscraper of sounds with a driving lead guitar at its pinnacle fueling the melody, much like a surfer at Waikiki Beach racing towards the shore. Consider the cowboy-like, psychedelic “North Wind†or “Riverbank†with its claves and handclaps. “Majestic†indeed is that, with low end that challenged my speakers and shook the walls. The reverb-soaked vocals reminded me a bit of Wham!, Heroes-era Bowie and Peter Gabriel, a good thing in my book. The obvious comparison is to Echo and The Bunnymen, but I think St. Christopher is better. St. Christopher appears more about songs than posing. “The First or the Last†is a highlight with Massive Synthesizers. I can see a cocaine-crazed Keith Emerson lunging a knife into his B3, his Arp and his Moog here. Imagine the sound without the twirling stage and the laser light show.This is ‘70s FM radio prog rock before it became ridiculous, crossed with ‘80s British psychedelia. Interesting chord patterns and songs that break out of the box are featured here. Again, Parasol has a winner......" POPMATTERS.COM review ..... BUY "GOLDEN BLUE" AT CD BABY.....
