pale saints . 111 til? P o 11<> pale saints, leeds' strangest, are certainly part of no herd, though there are superficial similarities with other breeds of wan pale and interesting guitar groups, pale saints are one-offs, genetic aberrations, where the bulk of their peers are recycling the same few half-formed notions, graham, ian, meriel and chris are , positively drunk on ideas, in ribbons is a rock record for some of the time but it wants to be a whole lot more, it's abitious, perverse, oblivious to fashion and desperately selfcentred. it's marvellous. in ribbons glitters with invention, it's moving, it's loud, it's crackpot, it's a modern rock record that bristles with quirk, strangeness and charm, history will look admiringly on it; let's hope that the dirty old present does too.
