Head and brother John regrouped as Shack in the late '80s, recording two albums for Ghetto, the second of which, '91's Waterpistol , was abandoned when the master tapes were first thought lost in a studio fire and later left in a rental car in America. In late 1995 a copy turned up, and German label Marina released Waterpistol to rave reviews in the British press, who hailed it as one of the best LPs of the decade. HMS Fable is their most recent release. Some people will tell you not to bother with soul. This is nonsense.
Soul is simple.
Soul is having a feeling, writing a tune that captures the feeling, and delivering it in a way that lets the listener share the feeling. Soul separates the happy songs that make you want to punch the air from the ones that wear your patience thin. Soul makes every song a love song. Soul is the difference between every record you love dearly and all the perfectly functional crap you'll hear on the radio tomorrow. Shack have soul.
