5 out of 5 stars They Should Have Been Huge..........2003-02-15

Throw Lennon and McCartney in with the Heartbreakers, and you would get this Chicago-based band from the late 1980's-early 1990's. With wonderfully subtle songwriting, a solid rock sound and stunning liver performances, they should have been a memorable fixture on the music scene for years to come.

"Ghost On The Beach" is filled with classic tunes, most notably the stunning lead track, the bittersweet "Love Like Candy" and the churning "Memory Road."

On its release, the CD sold about 100,000 copies, got some MTV airplay, and the band was even featured in an otherwise terrible movie soundtrack ("Iron Eagle II"). It seemed as if the Insiders were set.

Unfortunately, Epic fired most of the A&R team just as their second album was being recorded, and the band was ultimately dropped by the label. They released several CD's throughout the 90's, including one true classic ("Live At Fitzgerald's").

If you love gutsy, melodic rock, but this CD (which is actually available at some other retailers). Then pray that they someday release some of the many unreleased tracks floating around.

This was the band that got away.

      5 out of 5 stars Way better than the detractors would have you believe!.......2007-05-06

      It's funny how the success a band achieves (or lack thereof) can flavor how history rates them. If Nick & Simon Kenny of Thurman had managed to make it big a la the other post-"Parklife" britpop bands that had their eyes collectively opened by Blur's reinvention between 1993 and '95, I think they wouldn't be lamely mocked by certain musical elitists. "Lux" is actually a terrific album despite criticisms of its frequently recycled riffs borrowed liberally from mid-to-late '60s British Invasion groups. (That this "borrowing" is a hallmark of EVERY great group of the britpop era never seems to enter the mind of Thurman detractors.) And, yes, the three lads of Thurman used to be the core instrumentalists of an early-'90s metal group called 2 Die 4. However, who can blame them for realizing that hair metal was both: 1. Dying, and; 2. Far less interesting musically than, say, The Kinks or T. Rex. But hey, they were teens back then. Growing up, they gained great appreciation for the giants of the Sixties. And so "Lux" has so many echoes of lovely retro British rock: Lennon, Bolan and Davies' ideas appear all over this album, couched in that swell mid-'90s britpop sheen. I think it's a fine album, and anyone who loves "Modern Life is Rubbish" and "Parklife" would do well to check it out. It's certainly MILES beyond, say, Menswear's "Nuisance". Oh, and check out the post-Thurman group The Four Storeys. It's like Thurman gone folkrock. Wonderful stuff. HEY HYPOCRITICAL ELISTIST JERKS: Stop criticising the Kenny Brothers for being musical chameleons when you praise exactly that trait in other artists (David Bowie, anyone?) One last note: they're currently doing an interesting "Johnny Cash-meets-Tom Waits in a David Lynch movie" project called The Long Insiders. Check it out.

      2 out of 5 stars HA!.......2005-05-18

      Thurman, eh?

      I saw these guys in London supporting These Animal Men. Rumour had it that they had been a grunge act a year earlier, and (post-blur) bought themselves Ben Shermans and lept wholeheartedly on the bandwagon.

      The accents are appalling, mock-ney nonsense, the lyrics are cliche ridden drivel, and the riffs have all been nicked.

      That said, they are endearingly bad, hence the 2 stars. But take it from me, you'd have to be from another country to find them even remotely credible.

      5 out of 5 stars Lost Brit Pop Gem.......2001-11-17

      Released late in '95, Thurman's "Lux" got buried in all the Oasis/Blur/Pulp hoopla. Too bad, because "Lux" is loaded with 13 memorable ditties which draw from the likes of Marc Bolan, Mott the Hoople and the Kinks. Singer Nicholas Kenny's very British voice is a pleasant hybrid of David Bowie and Damon Albarn, with a bit of Ray Davies tossed in for good measure. The catchy songs (BIG hooks!) are mostly quirky sketches of eccentric characters. Highlights include the rockin' "She's a Man", the aching minor-chord workout "English Tea" and "Cheap Holiday" which would've fit perfectly on Blur's "Great Escape" (Damon, is that you singing?). Best of all is "Clowns" which nicks the guitar-lick of the Kinks' "Sunny Afternoon" before melting into a glorious middle section flush with Brian Wilson-like harmonies then, finally, fading out in raunchy three-chord fashion. Whatever happened to Thurman is anyone's guess, but "Lux" is one heck of an album -- a reverent tribute to great British Rock. Fans of Brit Pop -- be it the 60's & '70's variety, or modern bands a la Blur -- will no doubt feel at home with "Lux" in the CD player. Check it out!

                  Product Description

                  "Betting on Now" is the mellowish, excellent 2002 debut full length album from Oxford's The Four Storeys. Brothers Nicholas (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Simon Kenny (bass, vocals) were the core of two previous UK groups in the early-to-mid-'90s: metal group 2 Die 4 (signed to Morgan Creek) and, towards mid-decade, hooky, mod britpop group Thurman (Righteous Records). In 1998, the brothers teamed up with a new drummer and keyboard player to form the Neil Young/The Band/Byrds/Dylan-influenced The Four Storeys. The result is this gorgeous, thoughtful, country-tinged folk-rock masterpiece that sonds not entirely unlike early efforts by The High Llamas, only with the Llamas' Beach Boys fixation replaced with Buffalo Springfield. TRACKLISTING: 1. Mea Culpa, 2. Save Your Last Goodbye, 3. Still Waiting..., 4. Fall Out, 5. So Down On Me, 6. No Guarantee, 7. The Outside, 8. Castaway, 9. Take Another Turn, 10. Set Me Alight, 11. Up In Arms. 12. (Unlisted Hidden Track) (Tracks 8 & 9 previously issued as a limited edition CD single on the Shifty Disco singles series.)
