Goudie - Peep Show
The Music Company/Elektra Entertainment
Rating

Goudie is the surprise release of the year. While their style doesn't easily fit into any conventional musical modes, it easily won us over here at antiMUSIC. If comparisons must be drawn, then Goudie sounds closest to musical pioneers Radiohead mixed with the pop hooks of the Marvelous 3 with shades of Prince thrown in for extra flavor. It must be pointed out that "Peep Show" is the second CD released by "The Music Company", a new label founded by Lars Ulrich of Metallica. Avant-Garde-altrock is good label for Goudie. With high energy, yet melodic tracks like "Baby Hello", "Sugar Daddy", and "Valentine" contrasting beautifully against slow and melodic tracks like "Tonight" and "Julia", Goudie manages to transcend the musical conventions of modern rock and succeed in creating one of the most exciting new releases of 2000. Tired of the same ol' same ol'? Then you should give Goudie a try. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you hear.
