05/05/1997 | Happy Release Day 1997 | Prefab Sprout - Andromeda Heights Kitchenware Records #PrefabSprout #kitchenwareRecords @prefabsproutofficial Allmusic: „Andromeda Heights is a solid Prefab Sprout record, filled with elegant melodies, wry lyrics and immaculate production, but after seven years, that nevertheless ranks as a disappointment.“ Rough Trade: „Paddy McAloon has always written intelligent and beautifully crafted songs, but this album is so much lusher, sweeter and dreamier than previous accomplishments.“ Album Reviews: „The sentimentality that was often present on Prefab Sprout’s earlier albums is much more pronounced on Andromeda Heights.“ Sputnik Music: „'Andromeda Heights', was a force unlike anything they've put forward in the past.“ „Thus, the sound of this album is decidedly far more soothing and laid back than other Prefab Sprout releases, and arguably focuses primarily on melodic interactions and utilizing beautiful instrumental reprises in songs.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEUVuzM6u1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

14/03/1988 | Happy Release Day 1988 | Prefab Sprout - From Langley Park to Memphis Kitchenware #PrefabSprout #kitchenwareRecords @prefabsproutofficial NME Interview: „“I don’t think people understand my sense of humour sometimes,” he worries. “I laugh more times than I cry about things. I’m not po-faced. I don’t think I’ve ever written a song that isn’t playful somewhere along the line. I think my problem’s been in the execution.”“ Pitchfork: „From Langley Park remains the band’s closest brush to stardom, but McAloon kept finding new ways to push himself.“
 „At the time of its release, the cinematic From Langley Park to Memphis was largely overshadowed by its first two tracks“ „While his songs were newly poised for radio and MTV, he remained wary of fame, setting on a reclusive path that would span the rest of his career.“ Rolling Stone: „Like the Smiths, Prefab Sprout is the darling of a sizable British (and smaller American) depressoid set. McAloon's voice, with Wendy Smith's piping alongside, is the band's most distinctive instrument; and his talky lost-love lyrics are smart, if self-conscious…“ Allmusic: „Still, while ambitious in both concept and execution, From Langley Park to Memphis pales in comparison to its masterful predecessor Two Wheels Good -- a shortcoming acknowledged by Prefab Sprout themselves with the title of their next album, Jordan: The Comeback.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CbE-HBssPaT/?utm_medium=tumblr
