REVIEW by Kim Harten from Bliss/Aquamarine

THE RABBIT'S HAT/CENSUS OF HALLUCINATIONS More than Ashes: A Musical Tribute to the Words of Tony Morland 4x tape box set (ZyNg Tapes)

Until his untimely death in 2002, Tony Morland was a prolific lyricist whose words were set to music by The Rabbit's Hat and Census of Hallucinations. ZyNg Tapes, run by The Rabbit's Hat's bassist and backing vocalist Rob Kirtley, has now released this beautifully produced box set in memory of Tony, which is accompanied by a 28 page full colour booklet that includes Tony's handwritten and typed lyric sheets mounted on a weathered marble-effect background. Four full length cassette albums, with yellow, green, blue and orange shells, are packaged in a case specifically designed to hold 4 cassettes, with full colour inlays printed on glossy photographic paper. As always with ZyNg Tapes, the presentation and packaging is as important as the music, making each of their releases a complete work of art in itself.

The lyrics are intelligent and poetic. Songs that cast a critical eye upon corruption, greed and war appear alongside touching love songs of great beauty. The Rabbit's Hat were one of the Stone Premonitions collective's main bands during the 1990s. Their music is a sophisticated brand of classic melodic rock with an accessible quality that gives the songs the potential to appeal to a wider audience than just underground music fans, whilst retaining the integrity and originality that are essential components of underground music. Across their vast catalogue there are hints of prog, blues, soul, folk, spacerock, psych, powerpop ... even the occasional bit of experimental sound sculpture, though the main emphasis of their sound is on melodic song-based material. They manage to bring all these disparate influences together into a cohesive overall sound that is unmistakably The Rabbit's Hat.

Their music makes up the majority of this release, but the final six tracks are provided by The Rabbit's Hat's Tim Jones and Terri-B's subsequent band Census of Hallucinations. Their music follows on in a similarly eclectic spirit. There are songs that combine the intricacy of prog, the hard-edged nature of punk, and a certain off-centre quirkiness. They also explore a kind of spacey laid-back blues-rock in The Sun Is Rising, mellow folk-tinged music in To Prodigal's Guide, and an inventive mix of electronica, psych, prog and tribal rhythms in Mazed and Mystified. The set is limited to just 25 copies, so get it while you can.
