Details: Amazon.ca Gomez was celebrated for a debut album in 1998, with adult rock and no fanfare, Bring It On. This prolific group releases a third compilation album, Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline (B-sides, unreleased tracks, remixes and various radio sessions), excellent overview of an extraordinary group, very special in the English rock landscape. Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline highlights the very essence of Gomez – the only British band to have such an American, bluesy sound – and brilliantly shows how Gomez escapes from the English pop musical tradition to go shopping across the Atlantic , shamelessly dipping into rhythm'n'blues – obviously without ever denying Liverpool and its heritage. Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline, far from the anecdote or suspicious laziness of any compilation, warmly traces the musical evolution of a band born gifted, and takes a complete tour of their brilliant songwriting skills, from the first house demos to the latest elaborate and perfect mixes of groove, rock and blues. --Elsa Forget
