Man Without Country – Forever
Endeavour
Man Without Country - Forever Endeavour
(Killing Moon Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Welshman Ryan A. James was
cryogenically frozen in the mid-1980s as part of an experiment that had the
funding pulled by some Tory. Now fully thawed out and roaming the land with
nothing but a Keytar and a head-mic, James goes by the name Man Without Country
and is destined/cursed (it’s your call) to sing of his pain through the only
medium he knows – 80s synth pop. The new single, ‘Forever Endeavour’ (see what
he did there), combines the moody vocals of Peter Gabriel and Howard Jones with
the kind of melodies that you would have heard on anything from Flight of the
Navigator or Weird Science through to Never Ending Story or the Goonies. This
is a cinematically glorious feat and even includes a pitch bend solo which
makes me want to grow a mullet and roll my suit jacket sleeves up. Definitely
get in to this guy but please don’t show him a smart phone, it will melt his 20th
century mind.
