...Some of you may remember the MTV show 'Up For It' with Eddy Temple-Morris and Zane Lowe. As well as call-in sections and the usual comedy stunts, they showed live performances by bands that were supposedly about to break into the commercial scene. As far as I can remember, not many bands actually made it. Marcy Playground, along with Drugstore and Headswim, stayed firmly on the brink of mainstream.
‘Sex and Candy’ their first and only single released from this eponymous album is the definite standout track. Although quite beautiful compared to the other tracks, it is not really anything special. The song has a much softer feel to it than say ‘Saint Joe on the School Bus’ which, according to the sleeve, ‘is about being picked on’. However, I think it speaks for itself and wonder why that is...

...Cruachan PowerStation is situated near Oban in the West Highlands of Scotland. The unique aspect of this powerstation is its location. It is essentially a hollowed out mountain - Ben Cruachan. Indeed if you go for a hill walk on top of the mountain to see the resevoir you can feel the mountain rumble if the turbines are activated!
Now i am not going to write a history lesson about the powerstation other than to say for the engineers amongst us who want to find out about the technical side there is a comprehensive website, which should be detailed below.
An overview though, the powerstation operated by using water from the resevoir at the top of the mountain to operate the turbines when demand for power is great and the price is high (mainly daytime). At night when electric is cheap water is pumped from Loch Awe up the mountain...

Advantages: this album is a quality piece of musical creation Disadvantages: the pace can sometimes be a bit slow
...When I first heard 'Marcy Playground', it was as a throbbing beat coming from the room next door. I went to complain and to borrow the album.
On the first listen I thought that only 'Sex and Candy' was the saving grace of the album, but on re - listening to the tracks I have come to appreciate every one as an original musical experience. The music is very chilled and relaxed although the theme of the lyrics can be somewhat disturbing, for example, vampires and suicide. However, this album is perfect for listening to when chilling out on the sofa or for playing whilst you work.
'Marcy Playground' is an album which requires a certain amount of atmosphere to meet it's full potential, however, it should not be missed from anyone's music collection....
