Written and recorded in the wake of the death of family and friends, the songs here are full of sorrow and bereavement, but redeemed by a self-conscious sense of black humor. The man formerly known as "E" is first and foremost a popster though, so no matter how downhearted things get (and with song titles like "Going to Your Funeral" and "The Medication is Wearing Off," this is no day at the beach) there are enough hooks to keep it all afloat. There's a sparseness to the arrangements that suits the stark nature of the subject matter, but the intimacy thus created allows ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES to communicate that much more directly. Check your razor blades at the door.

Editorial reviews
...BLUES is oddly moving and surprisingly accessible. Written after frontman E's mother was diagnosed with [cancer], it lays bare the horrors of terminal illness in songs that shift from clinical to disconsolate....You'll hum along even as you recoil in disgust. - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly  (10/23/1998)

...ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES was one of 1998's most oddly powerful pop albums, demonstrating that weighty, tearful emotions, pretty melodies and groovy tempos can harmoniously complement one another...
CMJ  (01/11/1999)

3 stars out of 5 - ...Even the acoustic tracks hold up well in the live setting...
Q  (09/01/2002)

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...E's anguished response to the deaths of several friends and to his becoming...the last living member of his family....introspective arrangements are occasionally relieved by blasts of noise or elegantly colored string, horn and keyboard touches...

POSTAGE

At Netdiscs we ensure you get the postage and packing service you require - we can send by 1st, 2nd or Recorded delivery within the UK and Air or Airsure to any overseas destination.  We no longer use surface mail due to the length of delivery time and any overseas items over £20 will now have to be sent by Airsure.

PACKAGING

We’re record lovers too and hate receiving items marked as ‘Mint’ and turns out to be scuffed or ripped. This can be avoided!

We use top quality packaging materials - so all our items arrive with you, the buyer, in top notch condition.

Please note: all records are removed from their sealed packaging UNLESS REQUESTED OTHERWISE. Once removed from their packaging, they are kept in a 250g polysleeve which ensures protection. The record(s) and its sleeves are then placed between 2 stiffeners. This ensures that everything arrives exactly as you’d want it to.

Remember - we all need to recycle where possible, so with larger orders and larger items, we re-use the packing boxes and protective wrapping received from our suppliers.

The charges for packaging are based on the following:

Grading based on Record Collector Guidelines:

 

Mint   The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be Mint.

 

Excellent   The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

 

Very Good   The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

 

Good   The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

 

Fair   The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

 

Poor   The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

 

Bad   The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
