I must say that I haven’t been keeping such a close eye on SL Records for the past few years as I used to. But when listening to Misty’s Big Adventure’s fourth album, 'Television’s People', I suddenly found a reason to check them out again, because this is a really good record! I have never heard of the band before, but according to the press release, their fans like to look at the group as their well-kept secret, and I can only say that they have succeeded in keeping it that way. Listening to the 14 tracks on the album is a bit like listening to a mix tape, as the songs are quite different from one another, even though the main influence (as I hear it) is the Divine Comedy, with singer Grandmaster Gareth sounding a lot like Neil Hannon, and the music being the same kind of mix between easy listening and psychedelic pop. Some songs stand out a bit more than the rest, and among them I should mention the jazzy 'Start of the Century' ; 'Between You and Me'; the plain weird 'The Rainbow and the Cloud' and 'There’s Something in the Road', a song that ends up sounding like the soundtrack to a western movie. And now, I will see if I can find the previous three albums and if they are as good as this one
