Toy Love - Cuts
Toy Love's Cuts has to be the longest in waiting to come out in NZ's short music history.
Halled from the vaults around 25 years ago many unreleased tracks are now in the public domain. This album is a must to purchase for any avid music head.
Chris Knox, New Zealand's most durable musician and eccentric Pop – Rock Icons, would have thought these tracks were stuffed for release years ago, but thanks to engineering possibilities of today, Cuts has been digitally remastered and resurrected.
Cuts, a two disk and 40 track beast also includes a 32 page booklet.
It is also filled with a healthy dose of artwork from previous gig posters, song lyrics and artist ramblings of touring and the tortured artist it produces.
The two disks flow with intense enthusiasm to complete befuddlement, and there is something very catchy with the whole sound and your whole body becomes in tune with the flow and sound and rhythm of NZ punk art.
If you happened to be catching bands in the 70's from 1$ upwards and if you also happened to witness the marvellous Toy Love, then Cuts will take you right back in there.
But most imperative, Cuts is not nostalgia, this is now.
