Blowing Your Mind Away
 
Blowing Your Mind Away Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $23.00
Artist: Paul Orwell
 
 
Quantity:
 
WOW!!!!! We’re thrilled to finally able to bring you music from Paul Orwell, a singer/songwriter from Essex, England who possesses a unique talent in his ability to create the music, attitude and ambience of the mid-60's Beat period with an assuring knowledge of his place in today's society. With an extensive record collection encompassing Soul, Freakbeat, Rhythm & Blues, Gospel, Folk and late '60s Rock he has taken elements of all these fantastic genre's and come up with an album filled with moments of genius incorporating the talents of Phil Spector, The Pretty Things, The Beatles, The Who and all those other influential bands! As much as we would have liked to feature his earlier releases – we just couldn’t! Why? The first pressing of the “Blowing Your Mind Away” album on thick black vinyl sold out in a week, a second pressing included 100 on pink vinyl that sold out in about an hour - the other 400 purple vinyl copies are also long gone. Why? Because this album is CLASS - top of the class, head boy and going to Eton class - that good! Featuring sold out 7"s, b-sides, new mixes, rarities and unreleased gems, the album is now available again as a double CD with the original album on one disc and twelve non-album tracks on the other in a lovely gatefold digipak. “’This Music Should Be Played Loud’ is the bold statement you will first see on the back jacket of Paul Orwell’s ‘Blowing Your Mind Away’. He will steamroll you with his retro energy and if you didn’t know any better you would think this was the solo project from a member in The Pretty Things, Small Faces or The Animals. The young brash lad has just flipped that sound and released one of the best sounding 60’s beat British Invasion records in 2015 with plenty of distorted guitars, mood pacing organ, and hooks that will keep you coming back for more. Opener ‘Like I Did Before’ is the perfect introduction as he makes the bold statement ‘I won’t take your sh*t no more – like I did before!’ The pounding organ keeps beat with the drums as he delivers flawless slightly reverbed vocals and then adds in an electric guitar solo that takes the track to another level. Clearly his classic feel is on purpose but it is not a scam. He continues his hipster cool swagger on the repetitive chorus heavy ‘Tell Me, Tell Me,’ where he begs his girl to let him know what is wrong with him. This confrontational personality drives the record as he stays out all night with his new love interest on ‘Go Tell Your Mother,’ tells people where they stand on ‘You’re Nothing Special’, warns everyone of his revengeful spirit on ‘Payback’ and spells out the alphabet till the letter I during ‘A.B.C. Blues’ because that begins the point of the song when he sings ‘I hate you.’ Even though this record is entrenched in nostalgia, it is actually a little refreshing to lose yourself in Orwell’s world. There are no gimmicks, no tweaks with production tools – just songs, instruments and a voice. Each track gives you a little variation of his style right down to the hip shaking rhythms on closer ‘Fangz’. Regardless of where Paul Orwell goes next with his music, he has already established himself as a top new artist to watch with ‘Blowing Your Mind Away’ because it is one of the best debuts of 2015.” – TheFireNote.com We’re not sure how long these will be around, so you might want to jump on this quick! You won’t be sorry! GREAT!!!!
