Legal Man Review
i love belle and sebastian...and this little quirky EP is fantastic. it's not your typical b&s faire; legalman is a 60s-inspired britpop tour de force complete with flighty female accompaniment. the oddly-named "judy is a dickslap" is an instrumental romp, with a pretty piano interlude at the end. (yes, there is a pretty part to "judy is a dickslap.") winter wooskie is probably the most "normal" b&s song, with the comfortable rolling piano syncopated beat.
if you're new to b&s, don't get this album: get "the boy with the arab strap," "tigermilk," or "fold your hands...." however, if you have a few of their albums, you must own this EP. get 3,942 of them now. CD single features 'Legal Man' plus 2 non-LP tracks - 'Judy Is A Dick Slap' & 'Winter Wooskie'. 2000 Matador Records.

Trying on styles - IRate -
Interesting but not particularly great experimentation guides this tiny output, offering some great and unusual, mostly instrumental moments sporadically on the first two and coasting by well enough on their textbook constructed third. Nothing worth loosing sleep over, but impossible to dismiss.
Riveting - Julian -
This cd shows the instrumental genius that is the group Belle and Sebastian. Each of these songs have riveting drum lines and bass lines (especially legalman). Belle and Sebastian does an ingenous job of making soft music so pleasing.
