SOME WRITING ON THE BAND:
When Oasis were about
to come on stage for their low-key Watford Colleseum show
in early 2002, they pumped the stereo up high and stuck
on 'Sons Of The Stage' by World Of Twist. Why? Because
when the beat kicks in, there is no punchier single, no
better example of a psychedelic rock song that just bursts
with energy. Noel Gallagher would kill to write a tune
that good. If you don't own this song, you should get
it. If you do own it, you should nip away from your computer
right now and play it.
World Of Twist were probably more leftfield
and more bohemian than baggy. There seemed to be a concept
to what they did. Their sleeves were imaginative and their
sound was cool. The band seemed to matter more than the
people in it. In fact to be honest I don't even remember
what they looked like, although I do remember that Pulp
supported them at The Leadmill in December 1990.
But from the slow-burning 'Storm' to the
bouncing Stones cover 'She's Like A Rainbow', they sure
had a knack for a cracking single. Matching 60s psychedelic
cool, with stomping 70s riffs and a touch of late 80s
baggy groove, World Of Twist may have fallen through the
cracks success-wise, but they certainly maintain a fine
and frequent relationship with my CD player.
Oh, and while we're here, a confession.
Kelly, you know that poem I wrote for you in about 92?
The one that started ''Sweets are sweet, but you are sweeter''?
The one I told you took me ages? The one you really loved?
Well, it was the lyrics from World Of Twist's 'Sweets',
and it took me about 5 minutes to copy out. Sorry.
