Music reviews of The Essential Nik Kershaw
Music Review: Nik the lad from Ipswich.
Rating: 4 Stars
This CD is certainly essential. It is also delightful,
melodic and intelligent songwriting.Many of us confuse
Nik Kershaw with Howard Jones and vice versa. And many
disagree or become annoyed at the reference. But most
should know that both of them emerged from the synthezised
pop world of England in the 1980's.
Howard Jones is a trained classical pianist, who later
taught piano and then landed a recording contract. Nik
Kershaw worked in an employment office, and then left to
spend time making "tapes" so that he too could entice a
record company.In returning to this CD,"The Essential"
we notice a lack of horn section and the prominence of
funk type bass. On the tracks "One Step Ahead", and
"Don Quioxte", we are treated to the sixteenth note slap
and pop style of Mark King.[Also from England]
Dennis Smith, the bass player with Nick's backing band
"The Krew", seems to handle the other tracks well. Keeping
up with Mark King would be hazardous to most bass player's
health, and so credit is due. One could only wish that extended
mixes [12"] were on this EP. Especially "Radio Musicola" with
it's loopy bass line.Nik and Howard have served the music
industry and their fans well.They have thrilled people on a
global basis, and both artists are now over 50 years old. Still
playing and enjoying life.Due to the excellence of the studio
recording on this CD [the mix]your money would be invested well
if you decided to buy.
