I heard that
judging by the first track though THIS is nearer the mark:
"The Roses play coolly and confidently, but a third of the way in, there's a danger of the 'big event' turning into a series of likeable hums. Next single 'One Love's gently psychedelic pop, slots in sweetly with the retro naivety of 'Sally Cinnamon' and 'Sugar Spun Sister'. Against a changing back projection of John Squire's paintings and collages, Brown trance grooves around the stage, self- possessed almost to the point of being totally oblivious, and Roses dancer Cressa's bizarre love octopus moves hardly add to the visual clout. Just when it's getting boringly polite, though, the stage is bathed in red light and the Roses start to edge out of beat-group mode towards their more shamanistic potential. 'Standing Here' is given plenty of Hendrix edge by Squire, a guitar god without the junkie showman t**t mannerisms. And 'Fools Gold's wah-wahed funk is thoroughly sky-kissing.
Extract from NME live review."
