RoomThirteen Masterchef
Hi, I'm Stephen Kyle and welcome to RoomThirteen Masterchef. Tonight on the show we have the guys from Reuben, and they'll be combining their culinary talents to produce the finest cuisine they can offer - and let me tell you, guys, this is some gooood eatin'. They've just finished taking their recipes on a tour of all the coastal towns to compete with the local fish and chips - something they liked to call the "Candyfloss and Rock Tour". It was also just last week when the boys released their new delight, "Moving to Blackwater" at their Xtra Mile Recordings restaurant down in London. So, without further stalling, I'll let the guys get on with the cooking, and let you guys at home get on with the mouth-watering. In the meantime, here's a dancing midget named Nigel.
...and we're back. Let's take a look at what they've made:
The first one we have here is called "Moving to Blackwater", and is the most important dish in Reuben's set right now. It hits you at first with a nice pinch of guitar-riffery, just before the vocals assert themselves over your musical taste buds, and allow you to fall in love with this presentation. Simple yet effective use of guitar and bass form the filling for the entire session, creating a nice base for the vocals. Then, just as it all starts to pull to a close, a sweet garnish of violin forms a nice alternative taste, finishing off the piece nicely. The subtle aftertaste of musical talent is left in your mouth, making you want more.
Thankfully, Reuben has provided more for you. Next up is the B-side style "Ways of Staying Pure", and this one is another example of Reuben's belief in providing short, sharp creations that should only take around three minutes to consume. Light and fluffy guitar chords are the main constituent in this song, although they also morph slowly into distorted strength at times, although they fully back the great vocal flavour of Reuben. The final offering this evening is the interestingly titled "Miffy in Auschwitz", which first enters with a rather dark bass riff, and quickly crescendos into Reuben's increasingly-familiar brand of rock. This creation later melts into a nice, slow, spacey affair that allows you to relax as the song comes to a close.
So, as you can see, Reuben truly are culinary gods. Go sample their work now - I've been Stephen Kyle, and this was RoomThirteen Masterchef. Come back next week for "Metallica - Has the soufflé finally flopped?"
(For those who did not understand this, here it is in basic English form:
Reuben good. Reuben finish touring, they have new single. Single very good. B-side very good. 2nd B-side/live track also very good. You should buy their music. Reuben good.)
