Beautiful World on ScoutTV - 31st March 2008 - Interview
Performance - weird 3 piece mode!
'This kind of articulate guitar pop is a pleasure to listen to...with the wonderful lyrics of Ben Aylward and the sonic experimentation of Tim Powles behind the mixing desk, Beautiful World create an almost perfect first album...Ensconced in gorgeous artwork, every detail looks like it has been carefully chosen...Goodbye to the Fire deserves to be all over JJJ and FBI...it's one of the classiest indie records I have heard for a long time.'
-Sebastian Skeet, Drum Media, January 2008
'It's not hard to close your eyes and imagine these guys sharing the main stage at Glastonbury with the likes of The Verve or Slowdive. It is intriguing to think what these guys might be able to do with a bigger budget, for good melodies have no expiry date...
-Chris Peken, City Hub, December 2007
'Beautiful World produce beautiful, lush pop music...on scant indie money they're producing quality.'
-Mark Neilsen, Drum Media August, 2007
'You may remember Ben Aylward from the criminally underrated Swirl. The songwriting from this is in his blood and still evident with Beautiful World as thay create swirling atmosphericpop,though its darker than one may remember from the previous outfit.Inviting and enveloping'
-Mark Neilsen,Drum Media Feb 2006
..Overly a sweetly insistent piano,Ben Aylward moves slightly away from the wavering and flowing guitar blueprint that trademarked his work with the close-to-extraordinarly good Swirl ofearlier this century.Music made with real feeling,and there's never enough of that!
-Ross Clelland,Drum Media,August 2006
