Dakka Dakka's opinion on:

Phideaux : Ghost storey
(Bloodfish Records)

If artists like David Bowie (seventies period), Pink Floyd, 
(early) Moody Blues and Donovan are your thing, then I have 
a name for you: Phideaux. This band is led by a man called 
Xavier Phideaux. His brand of slightly Psychedelic, Progressive 
tinged Rock is firmly rooted in the seventies. But while it's 
inspired by what's undoubtfully one of the most interesting 
periods in Rock's history, the music does not sound dated. 
It's Retro in the best meaning of the word. It's varied too 
and quite simply beautiful. The melodies. The emotions. 
Everything about it sounds honest. And it's engaging. About 
every minute of it. I'd also advise fans of more recent 
British and Belgian Alternative and semi-alternative Rock 
bands like Muse, Oasis and Novastar to pay attention to 
Phideaux. When I also tell you that he sells his CD's at a 
very low price, and that his website even has a large 
collection of freely downloadable high quality MP3's, then 
I do not see why you shouldn't want to enjoy the beauty of 
their compositions. Support this band. They're more than 
worth it. Go visit www.bloodfish.com now!
