Monochrome Set Independent Singles Collection CD

2008 release containing Monochrome Set's complete independent singles collection including b-sides and rare tracks, Suave; debonair; sophisticated. Haughty, perhaps, for those who favor the pejorative. Aristocratic in more than one sense, classy in at least as many. The Monochrome Set were effortlessly inventive, literate, poised and immaculate of tuneage, possessed of an internal dialogue as a band that allowed them to surf their own narrative. They were just unlike anything else, in layman's terms. Instead, their sound harked back to a golden era of British pop songwriters. But there was nothing retrogressive about their endeavors. Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim, a long-time fan of the band, has recorded a cover of 'He's Frank' with guest vocals by Iggy Pop, broadcast on the hit TV series Heroes so the interest in Monochrome Set is growing... again! 25 tracks. Cherry Red.
