With Echo & The Bunnymen mothballed once more, frontman Ian McCulloch returns to an extra-mural career that, for all his Olympian self-aggrandisement, seems destined to pale against former glories. Spurred on by the fan worship of Coldplay's Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland (both of whom cameo here), Slideling ditches the Bunnymen's arch neo-psychedelia in favour of four-square indie-rock. There's not much wrong with the jangling Love In Veins, the Lou Reed-like Baby Hold On, or the string-caressed Seasons, but they'd have sounded much more distinctive with (absent Bunnyman) Will Sergeant's weaving guitar arabesques on board.

Rediscovered in a drawer, Weird As A Fish is a cult 1978 tape of layered guitar music with basic echoes, effects and sometimes keyboards, recorded under the influence of Californian avant garde oddballs The Residents' Duck Stab and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Neither as confrontational nor as selfconsciously weird as those predecessors, it's raw but rhythmic, flowing and very pleasantly accessible. Le Via Luonge was the soundtrack to a movie of Echo & The Bunnymen's Last Of The Long Days 1981 European tour and later appeared on the Shine So Hard video. It's more of the same but simpler and more sophisticated, and features two more tracks that didn't make the film.
