For a long time one could safely presume DR. STRANGELY STRANGE were a thing of the past – and that would have been quite an erroneous assumption, because this Irish band haven’t really ceased to exist after their 2007 reunion, even though the “Alternative Medicine” album, which attempted to pick up where their original 1969-1970 duplet left off, didn’t seem to get a follow-up offering. However, the veteran’s discography is about to see another chapter on April 11th when the group’s fans, who were rather recently delighted to listen to the ensemble’s "Radio Sessions" comp, should embrace the issue of the combo’s fresh platter.
Titled “Anti-Inflammatory” to suggest the continuation of its predecessor’s theme, it’s comprised of ten new tracks delivered by three members of the old line-up – Tim Booth, Ivan Pawle and Tim Goulding – with Joe Thoma who’s been working with them since 1980, so there’s indeed an unbroken line between the days of yore and the present. Unexpectedly delightful.
