ALBUM: The Feeling - Join with us
(Island)
ANY fan of modern music would acquiesce to the fact that there is always liberal pilfering of ideas.
There would be no Oasis without the Beatles, Strokes without Stooges, Mika without Leo Sayer - that's all granted.
But what Dan Gillespie-Sells's monstrous The Feeling have achieved is remarkable - the defrosting wholesale of a cryogenically frozen Supertramp.
The only bigger crime was that they refracted their own hideous image through an ELO lens and this is what came of it - the very latest record of pop's journey to hell in a handcart.
Still, nice of DGS to take a break from those M&S ads...
