Frontman Simon Fowler's elliptical style means that you don't always know exactly what's going on, but tracks like \"Debris Road\" and \"Get Blown Away\" resonate on a deeper level, deploying evocative nostalgic imagery to marvellous effect. Musically, Marchin' Already shows OCS drawing on much wider influences they're usually given credit for: the band's mod influences are well-documented, but \"Foxy's Folk-Faced\" and \"Half A Dream Away\" respectively repay some dept to Fairport Convention and The Specials (whose trombonist Rico plays on the latter). That it never manages to sound purely like a rehash of pop's past glories must, in part, go to some truly imaginative work by producer Brendan Lynch, who remains the only man in Britain capable of making a guitar sounding like an aeroplane taking off. As Fowler would say, it's a beautiful thing. --Peter Paphides      Product Description      The Brit-pop act's 1997 album features 13 tracks of traditional rock equally balanced between soulful stompers, rockers \u0026amp; progressive inflected ballads.
