Humanworld – Peter Perrett
I've been a fan of Peter Perrett / The Only Ones since I bought their classic debut LP when I was seventeen. It's fair to say that (for well documented reasons) further releases have been thin on the ground, so it was great, if unexpected, news when Peter finally released something (How The West Was Won) a couple of years ago after a very long silence. And now, a mere two years later, he is back again with Humanworld. I liked How The West Was Won, but this is in an altogether different ballpark. On the strength of a couple of plays I have to say it exceeds all reasonable expectations and that it's up there with his best work. If you liked The Only Ones I'd say that this pretty damn essential!
