Once heard, never forgotten. Siesta delights you with the third stage in the reverie itinerary following the celebrated compilations "Algebra Spaghetti" and "Simultaneous ice-cream". Lollipop train is a new burst of English accent pop carefully enunciated in a velvety purr. In spite of its extravagant settings, Reverie is essentially a moving elegy about the childhood, isn’t it? Here is the third chapter. A captivating flight into fancy. Genre: Teenage novelty psychedelia-imaginative pop. Style: Joyful-new form of essay album with collage-mosaic structure. Contents: It contains songs, monologues and instrumentals in a fast cutting documentary feel. Junior electric magazine includes an outstanding surrealistic title track written by Lollipop Train themselves and formidable performances of "I want it now" (written by Anthony Newley for the famous children’s fantasy film "Willy Wonka & the chocolate factory"); "Mr Bizarro" (refined artpop composed by the original Monochrome Set); "Variations on a keyring" (composed by Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier for Monade); "Wowie Zowie" (the lightest moment from Zappa’s The Mothers of Invention mid-sixties masterpiece); "Theme from Daisies" (the memorable theme from Czech director Vera Chytilova’s revolutionary film "Daisies") and "Johnny Johnny" (the sweetest gem about an after-school youthful and innocent love). The characterful music soundtrack is complimented by Angela’s piquant recollections of the Malta sunshine and tips on how to make a perfect milkshake. In short, this album has an incandescent vivacity. Junior Electric magazine is the smashing debut album of one of the Reverie queens who sings with infectious gaiety. Angie Tillett is partnered with a support band in the Alway-Siesta tradition. From this comment one could look forward to something frivolous, sophisticated and engaging. The producers -Jeremy Butler, John Austin and Matt Hulse- have prepared a fluent and luminous sound scene to enhance the charm of Lollipop train. Well folks it is reasonable to reckon that you won´t listen to a prettier record during the balance of the year. Lollipop train has the charm of a wallflower turned into a butterfly. This nicety leaves one a little haunted.
