The Monochrome Set arose from the late '70s British punk scene, and their records helped inspire the Smiths. but this collection of delightful demos, a sequel to a first batch in the '80s, highlights their dry whimsy and melodic ingenuity. Still, the clearest reason that the Monochrome Set have never caught on over here is that their studio albums often overreach and under-deliver. The best record they released during their original incarnation was 1983's Volume, Contrast, Brilliance. a cherry-picked miscellany of singles and radio sessions with a promising Vol. 1 in its subtitle. The Monochrome Set's fanciful world is filled with big dreams and small victories, as this delightfully scattered set displays. Tapete Records.
