The Go-Betweens manage to make dramas out of the ordinary and to find a nagging fatalism in the predictable ...The Go-Betweens won't startle you but, if you'll let them, they'll catch the corner of your eye and offer you a glimpse of what's just out of sight, in the middle of the normal. "No sign of heaven here" they sing on 'Midnight to Neon' - quite right, and they make drama out of the fact and not display. Seek them out.

The Go-Betweens are what's called a textbook case. Originally a stark, agitated twosome, over 12 years they became an ornate six-person pop group. While leaders Robert Forster and Grant McLennan maintained a consistent level of quality songwriting, the dulling forces of stability, maturity, and over-production made their later albums less individual, especially in comparison with the rampant bizarritude evident on their just-reissued early albums.
Along with the Saints, the Go-Betweens are the finest band Australia ever produced. They began in Brisbane in 1978 as a guitar-bass duo, but added drummer Lindy Morrison before recording Send Me a Lullaby, their willful, difficult debut album. Hardly for neophytes, the album lacks both a producer and anything approaching a hook. The guitar is scratchy and jangly, embellishing the songs rather than carrying them, which the bass nominally does. Forster's guitar jumps from one chord to another, seemingly at random, and only establishes structure by repeating the same inappropriate jumps. It's not quite Schoenberg, but it is some of the most hostile pop music ever.
The most melodic songs, McLennan's flowing waltz "Your Turn, My Turn" and Forster's paranoid "Eight Pictures," are the most striking. In the latter, Forster strums a nearly traditional progression, but without any sort of strict rhythm. As he strains his voice to moan, "I shot you with my camera / Caught you doing things with him," the effect is terrifying. The drums enter halfway through, but only for 20 seconds of random pounding before the noise subsides, and Forster resumes his obsessive harangue.
McLennan sings a few of the songs on Lullaby in a strident, untrained squeal; on all subsequent albums, he splits the songwriting and singing evenly with Forster. McLennan's voice is sweeter and more attractive than Forster's, and his songs are calmer. But for those of us who like our angst served up raw, McLennan cannot approach Forster in voice or song. He's just a little too subtle and a little too normal.

"This record looks back to the past - childhood, lost love, and lost utopias. These are fragile feelings, hard to express, but The Go-Betweens fly straight to the heart with passion and intelligence. The massive melodic talents of Grant Mclennan and Robert Foster are revealed in all there simplicity of inspiration yet richness of their craft. The Go-Betweens yearn for the elusive, the perfection that may once have been but never will again. 'Before Hollywood' is a rare masterpiece."

Before Hollywood shows off more of the same weird chord progressions, particularly on Forster's magnificently dysfunctional "By Chance," but organizes them into more accessible and fleshed-out songs. Forster's songwriting is much more crafted than before, but Hollywood is the only album on which McLennan really outshines him. McLennan's quietly haunting "Dusty in Here," written in memory of his father, and his beautiful, nostalgic "Cattle and Cane" both show an incredible attention to texture, even with sparse instrumentation. But the album's peak is "As Long as That," a menacing exorcism of a doomed relationship where Forster and McLennan trade off weary, resigned lines like "I'm not stuck to be inspired by her or by me / Get this, and how, I'm lifted way, way down." Uncompromising, yet touching and varied, Before Hollywood is the group's best album.

"Cling like leeches to them, for if they don't always seem like good company, there's plenty of substance here. It just takes time for their abundant qualities to surface and shine. It would be silly to pretend The Go-Betweens are a sparking fun experience - they are sometimes excessively sombre, verging on sobriety. They don't make for the easiest of entries, but the pleasures and rewards are longer lasting. And endurance, I'd hazard, is important to the Go-Betweens, just as it was for The Band's and The Velvet Underground's third LPs before them."

The Go-Betweens added bassist Robert Vickers on Spring Hill Fair, making for a more traditional lineup and sound. When combined with thick, occasionally smooth production, the unorthodox structures fight with the arrangements. None of this really matters, though, because most of the songs are excellent. McLennan's songwriting is not as expressive or effective and he occasionally slips into the sugary pop that would wreck some of his later songs. But he almost approaches Forster's level of agitation on "Slow Slow Music" and provides a weird digression on the spoken-word "River of Money." Forster is in top form, especially on the contemptuous, calm(!) "Draining the Pool for You" and the memorably boppy "Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea," where chants of "I want you back" offset sentiments like "I feel so sure of our love / I'll write a song about us breaking up." It ends in a remarkably proficient and remarkably long guitar solo that spotlights the Go-Betweens' continuing development.
After Spring Hill Fair, the Go-Betweens went on to make three albums with more production and less quirks. While never less than good, they can't really compare to these three, where the Go-Betweens sound like no one else. Even 'Send Me a Lullaby', for all its abrasiveness, defies any criticism of carelessness in its calculated neuroses. Don't let these albums be lost to the ages.

"The Go-Betweens are so pure, so antirockist, as to be scoured clean of violence, exhibitionism and, most of the time, direct emotional expression.The new record is lovely, though. The wintery sound now seems to tremble and glow with beauty ... such is The Go-Betweens' mastery of the atmosphere and aching melody, that they can entrance the listener even when you don't know why you've being moved."

"While phrases like 'taste' and 'quality' can actually seem defeatist in the quick-kill consumer-conscious atmosphere perdominant in chartdom '87, any anachronistic accusations levelled at The Go-Betweens for their adherence to values of songwriting and musicianship are ultimately rendered redundant by the indisputable class of their best work. The level of songwriting within the band has continued to progress at an almost geometric rate. Tallulah is a fine record. Besides, it maintains The Go-Betweens' tradition of having two 'L's in each of their album titles. Now there's an achievement worthy of accolades."

"The Go-Betweens are on of the most unobtrusively brillant bands around. Their Dylany strum hides a razor-sharp intelligence, and a further listen reveals that the music ain't so simple either. It's layered without being cluttered , every lyric distinct, every instrument shimmering. The result makes for a dreamy yet propulsive experience. The feeling that shines off this record is deep happiness, a slightly disbelieving wonder at the manifold joys of the human experience. A lovely record, one of the year's best."

It's the story of a miracle. Some three to four years before the Go-betweens released their first album, _Send me a lullaby_, someone plugged a tape deck into the mixing desk during a rehearsal in Robert Forster's bedroom. And a copy of this tape recently resurfaced (hence this record).
Robert Forster sums it up best himself in the press release: "This...is another world. This is us as a Seventies band. A Seventies band that didn't really sound like many other Seventies bands. And that for me is the charm of the
And the amazing thing is how much it really works. I'm not much of a fan of _Send me a lullaby_ (which will probably get me shot in certain circles). So with that in mind I approached the idea of a lost album with a certain amount of trepidation and suspicsion.
I truly was expecting some dreadful cringe material, or something hopelessly self-indulgent. But it's something else again, something quite magical. The sound quality is, to be honest, bloody awful; it's like trying to watch a play by the shadows cast on walls. At times, especially on "Long lonely day," the tape signal is washed out with static. Faint squeals of feedback loom in the background like thunderclouds, threatening to swamp everything.
For reasons I can't quite fathom, while listening to this album, the closest parallel I can find is The Fall's _Perverted By Language_. It has something to do with the rough nature of the music, like an uncut gem. It's also pretty obvious that any attempts (although I suppose they cleaned it up in minor ways) to clean up the signal would probably also destroy the soul of the music.
But it works. Indisputably, it's a major record. At the same time, it's a non-record, a record that will never be. It captures things as they were, at the time. A couple of twenty year olds playing their own material, at a time when most other people their age were no doubt listening to Supertramp and Pink Floyd.
The two links to the future are held in the opening tracks, "Lee Remick" and "Karen," songs that any self-respecting Go-betweens fan should know off by heart.
The rest of the songs veer off into the unknown, unless of course you were living in Brisbane twenty years ago - in which case this is certainly going to bring back some memories for some people. Some of the stronger tracks, despite the technical flaws, include "Long lonely day" and "Day for night," which contain the seeds of the future, and "The sound of rain" with its '60s vibe.
The bottom line is that this record is pretty much an essential addition to any self-respecting Go-betweens fan. Again, don't expect technical perfection; that's not what it's about. However, I understand completely why Grant and Robert decided to issue it, and I thank them for having had the courage to do so. For all its warts, this record is amazingly engaging.
