ADRIAN THRILLS: Lean and mean Kasabian - Band rediscover their mojo with 29-minute album
Taking its cue from The Ramones' self-titled debut LP, Kasabian's Happenings lasts a shade under 29 minutes, pipping The Ramones by seconds in terms of lean, clean economy.
An instrumental prelude leads into the catchy Darkest Lullaby, which advocates searching for relief from any romantic woes by 'forgetting the pain' and heading to the disco, a move reinforced by the equally infectious Coming Back To Me Good. Linda's daughter Kami sings The Solitary Traveller, and Richard Thompson plays harmonium and guitar on I Used To Be So Pretty, an unforgiving song about ageing superbly sung by Ren Harvieu. Given that her audacious — some might say foolhardy — Total World Tour took in visits to North Korea, Syria and Iraq, it's surprising Joss Stone has waited so long to make her first live album.
