4th Child – Now I Found You

• 3rd Jul 2007

The first thing that will strike you when hearing this singe is that The Sisters of Mercy’s Andrew Eldritch and Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory have been the subject of some weird gene splicing experiment, involving British music.

You wouldn’t be wrong, the deep intonation is there, but none of the sentiment or meaning. Which is a pity, because ‘Now I’ve Found You’ is a decent track otherwise.

Of course for the generation who think Heaven 17 is the latest online porn portal, this will sound like a breath of fresh air.

Call me an old fart, geezer…frankly anything you like – this is far from being anything like a breath of fresh air.

This is old fart, rank with the stench of half digested hash browns.

Hey, I’m a traditionalist.
