Today we present the fruit of a most welcome investment, not for the
first time, in The Teardrop Explodes’ mighty & magnificent ‘Kilimanjaro’,
as majestic as the mountain whose name it takes, an enduring masterpiece from
the cusp of the 70s-80s, of its time yet transcending, whose charms never fail to work their magic, an LP chock-full
of fabulous surreal psychedelic pop that on numerous occasions does indeed ‘go
crazy’ (that bonkers, battering reading of ‘Books’, for instance), transporting
the listener (or this one, anyway) to a better place & more semi-detached
headspace, as comforting as it can be mildly unhinging, which can never be a
bad thing.
As it has proved to be once again for yours truly, this should be an
essential addition to any record collection.
