THE POINT IS TALENT OVER ABILITY, IDEAS OVER PROFICIENCY, ENERGY OVER COMPETENCE, ACTION, TIME, AND VISION. ADD SOME MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO THIS CONFUSION AND THE RESULTING MESS IS BLACK TIME - SHAMBOLIC BUT PASSIONATE, HOLLERIN' AND WAILIN' AT THE DYING OF THE RED LIGHT. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ZINES, BLOGS AND WEBSITES DEDICATED TO SUB-UNDERGROUND ROCK, THEN NO DOUBT YOU ARE AWARE THAT BLACK TIME HAVE BEEN GETTING FAVORABLY COMPARED TO CRIME, PUSSY GALORE, THE ELECTRIC EELS, THE CRAMPS AND THE FALL. A STRING OF HOPELESSLY LIMITED EDITION VINYL 7-INCHES AND 12-INCHES HAVE STOKED THE FIRE. THE HYPE IS JUSTIFIED IN THIS CASE, AS MIDNIGHT WORLD, THE BAND'S SECOND FULL-LENGTH, IS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF CHUG-A-LUG, PRIMEVAL DRUMMING, OPAQUE LAYERS OF GUITARS, NEW WAVE CINEMA REFERENCES,'60S AND '70S PUNK, LO-FI STATIC AND OVERWROUGHT VOCALS FROM FRONTMAN LEMMY CAUTION. THE BEST UK EXPORT SINCE THE COUNTRY TEASERS,
