I believe this is how it's put - 'cool' again. Scan Tester's music on Topic's 1990 album provides a perspective. Here, with Geckoes, the process is continued even if the band's repertoire has all the makeup of a Chelsea soccer team. If it works, use it Doubtless arguments will rage. Frequently, too, the same concertina adds an infilling sustained note against which the melody run is posed.
Electricity is prominent where guitars and keyboards are involved.
There's a danger in all this, too, mind, as noted below. Sometimes, indeed, as in track 3, you get the impression that the band is good on effect but that the substance is less impressive. There are signs, in this way, that the band's ideas could work. I don't believe, though, that the fiddle made the most of its opportunity as lead instrument and the bass seems to me to need more variety where the choice has been to provide less. The melody line in the second tune, a more choppy one altogether than the first, could have done with being made more prominent.
