This is the penultimate album from Benny and Sylvia’s Sugarplum Fairies (SPF).
I’ve been a fan of SPF since buying their first album Flake through the late lamented Peoplesound website in 1999 and since then I’ve bought all but one of their albums, even to the point of being one of the first to pay towards the crowd funding of Images We Get.
Late last year I learnt of the band splitting and the release of their (to date) final album Sunday, Suddenly which is the only album of theirs I cannot bring myself to buy. I used to wonder why some people got hung up when their favourite band broke up. I’d seen Yes split more times than a gold medal winning gymnast, The Tubes went their own way too as did Dead Can Dance but I didn’t really feel anything about them splitting. But something about SPF splitting just made me feel like a close friend had died. Sad.
Godspeed has a distinctly different sound to Flake, Chinese Leftovers and Country International Music. More mature and professionally produced, the last sweet drips of juice from a perfectly ripened musical fruit.
