11 Jun : New Family Fantastic album announced - 'Wonderful'
'Family Fantastic' have recorded a follow-up to the 'Nice!' album. The album, co-produced and co-written by Vince Clarke, is entitled 'Wonderful'.
The album [also mentioned briefly in the Vince Clarke & Phil Creswick interview] contains 11 tracks.
Where as the first 'Family Fantastic' album was recreating new disco hits from the late 1970's, the new album is inspired by the songs of the pre-Rock'N'Roll era; the era of Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and Doris Day. However, the music itself is modern and has the distinctive and inimitable Vince Clarke synthesizer sound. With the exception of a cover of 'Something Stupid', all of the songs themselves are original.
The album is produced by Vince Clarke and features Daphne Diamond (lead vocalist with Canadian rock band 'Blanche'), James Gray (lead vocalist of UK band 'Miramar'), Phil Creswick (Vince's collaborator on 'Nice!', 'RadioActivators' and former member of 'Big Fun') and Nick Carter (a member of 'Canny' who have remixed Electribe 101).
If you enjoyed Erasure's cover of 'Magic Moments', then this is the album for you.
